Very nice. Different wheels would be cool but I wouldn't complain.

It could be a 99 FRC with a stroked LS1 or could be a Z06 with the built 441. Either way it doesn't deserve the C5-R label. That is a purpose built racecar. Yes it is a 427 in the real C5-R. I don't see any "Carbon Fiber" body panels. They all look stock minus the wing. He also went with slightly larger Brembo Calipers and probably 2 piece rotors. If he was spending loads of money, why didn't he upgrade to the new Z06 brakes. They are a lot bigger than those Brembos. He has the room for them with those bigger rims. Pretty nice though. I bet it will fly. Can you get some more pics of the N02 system and engine?

I can probably get some today. I'm going to run the VIN through a program I have that will tell me exactly what kind of car it is. Like I said in the begining, he's spent alot of money on it with the body panels and paint. I should pick my car up today and will try and get some more pictures.

It's actually a really cool program. It doesn't give any owner information but it tells what every number or letter in the VIN means. Producation year, engine, plant of origin and some other options. I wasn't able to go by the shop today but hopefully tomorrow.
