My late-'01 C5 had C6 Z06 suspension, brakes, wheels, tires... Absolutely loved that car. I'm sure yours is going to be even more awesome.
lol, my FRC has C6 GS shocks on it for about an hour or so while we had to run to Sears and get a new die set for a cross-threaded shock mount (Koni's threads are very thin and fairly fragile if you over-tighten).
You had the C6Z 18/19's on the car? Did you have to use a spacer on the rear? When we tried a combo of 315/335 tires on the C5 on 17/18 stock setup, we had to use a 5mm spacer (all thats allowed in Stock classifications) to clear the rear.
We're going to try. I have one of the best setup men in the buisness doing the car, now it's just up to my co-driver and I to get some results. SSR is the hardest class in the SCCA, lots of National Champions, a few Drivers of Eminence, so it's going to be an uphill fight every day.

Now, I miss our Vette
Winter is the perfect time to get another
I know someone selling a very well kept 2000 FRC right now with lots of extras for a steal (14k)
Ad from Paul Brown, car is in Los Alamos, NM
2000 zero-option Fixed Roof Coupe Corvette for sale.
Flame Red. 92000 miles. Interesting Corvette. Good competition car, in A Stock for another year, then who knows - great basis for STU, SSP, and might be OK in the new B Street class, and you could join in the push to have a BSP listing created for the non-Z06 C5. Sort of amazing how much stuff we've collected for it and done to it in three years. Three sets of OE magnesium wheels. Two and a half sets of other OE wheels. Three front sway bars. Koni sports (fronts converted to double-adjustable). Hardbar harness bar and a 4-point harness. ARP wheel studs (needed in order to run 1/4" spacers). Two exhausts – OE Z06 Ti and a louder Magnaflow setup. Borla X-pipe. K&N. New clutch this summer. Three of the four wheel bearings have been replaced since we got it. New radiator in August. New rear street tires this year. Complete set of factory manuals. Probably lots that I'm forgetting to mention. Runs great, completely ready to race. Lots and lots usable Hoosier A6s, including two+ sets we recently claimed on contingency (there's $3500 right there) and a good set of H20 rains. When I say "lots and lots," I mean maybe 40 or 50 decent used tires. Speaking of contingency, the car has trophied all three years we've had it at the Solo Nationals. This one can be yours for $14,000, with lots of spare parts and the log book with all of our data on what we've done. Double that price and it will include a 22-foot Pace American enclosed trailer which we bought and set up for this car.

Congrats man!
Cant leave time on the table =) Even with a well prepped car, there are lots of nights where I'm tossing and turning about time left out on the course at a national event.
