I bought a vette

[suprahero]

After having numerous problems with my car lately I couldn't decide what to do. I was thinking about going with a full 2jz build, but that's going to cost me a good bit to do it the way I want it. I really don't have the time right now to tackle this so I'm going to put the supra on the back burner............for now. I'm not getting out of the game, but I will be without a running supra for at least a year. Now on to the good news.

A local guy that's in a corvette club with my brother has sold me his 1999 C5 with new z06 wheels. It's already got cams, larger injectors and exhaust. It only dyno's at 432rwhp, but it feels like it's got about 700 lbs of torque. I should be able to get some pictures up tonight after I wash it. Of course it's blue, but did you really have to ask?

I will try and get my car fixed later, but if I dont, then it looks like Vonda is getting new blue and white interior for her car. Thanks, Jay

April fools?

 

[suprahero]

No, sorry Turbo. I really doubt that I part it out because I love the car too much for that, but I'm really tore up about the destruction of my newly built motor. I don't have the money to keep rebuilding and upgrading and I could never be happy with a stock motor.

 

[TurboFreak]

No I meant April fools like it's too good to be true. C5 corvettes are my favorite car of all time!!! My next car WILL be a C5. So congrats!!!!

BTW, we have an other cars section now

Excellent choice. Welcome to the concept known as area under the curve. :biglaugh:

First of all, you can't expect anyone with an ounce of brains to believe anything posted on April 1st.

Secondly, if you're buying a Corvette because it's more reliable than a Supra, I've got some bad news for you...

 

[AF1JZ]

Look at what I just bought this weekend too guys....It was a little expensive, but I had to have it.

Sorry Jay, had to do it..............

 

[suprahero]

You have more money than I do Mr. Fonz. I"m only paying $14,500 for mine and it's modded just right. I'm also getting a great finance rate because my aunt works at the bank.

I don't blame you Grim, but it's purely conincidental. I'm meeting the guy at 5:00 when he gets off work so we can get the paperwork notorized and signed.

The only thing I dont' like about it is the rough ride. It rides way worse than anything I've ever ridden in. I guess they don't build them for comfort.

 

[rtrdpenguin]

This somehow doesn't feel like an april fool's joke. I guess I sort of understand wanting to get another running car after an engine goes down the tubes but letting the Supra sit for a year? =( Poor Supra... What is holding you back from building a new engine?

What is holding you back from building a new engine?

Nothing is holding me back except for the knowledge I must not have. I just built it last month and it didn't even last two thousand miles. I'm sure I'll build it again but I don't know when and in the meantime I need something to drive other than my F150

IJ, you know I don't understand Australian...........:biglaugh:

It only has one

 

[suprahero]

IJ, you know spelling owns me. You've always wanted an LS1 in your supra, now I have one in a vette even though it's not the same thing. Maybe you can help me figure out how to turbo it...............please!!!!

 

[IJ.]

Callaway or Banks

 

[suprahero]

I'd love to own a Callaway, but you do know I'm a carpenter.........right?

 

[IJ.]

Nope wasn't sure what you actually did

Isn't it fun breaking parts! <sarc>

Omg!!!:cry::cry:

Ryan, I sent you the link........not supramania........:3d_frown:


IJ, breaking parts is no fun at all........especially when you don't know exactly how you broke them.

 

[suprahero]

It's that time. I'm off to the bank to sign my life away. It's been a long time since I've had a car payment. Pictures will be up later if I can get it clean enough.
