Sweet!!!!!!

I love the sound. The car seems to hook up real well! Are there any other Corvettes running in your group?

Can you post a picture of the car?

Thanks for posting!

Glad that you like it
Here are two pictures.

We were with 11 Corvettes on the track
6x and 4x C6 Z06 ZR1

In the second part towards the end you can see some of them.

I am in the north.

I only do track day no races.

Basically, my C5 has just a Ls1 with headers and admission, tuned to 393 hp, bucket seats, 3.90 diff, R888s and Pfadt featherlight coilovers and sway bars. I will add a Ron Davis, a big oil pump and a ls6 head soon. Enough for my level for now!

We are very few to do trackdays with corvettes in France. A few C6Z06. But nearly no C5. It is always a pleasure to compare the looks we get the first hour and the interest we get at the end of the day ! Real funny to see how quickly opinions change after a few laps.

The guy who is running the forum is the only good tuner in France for Corvettes. He has done lots of LS7 already. Just in case you are interested.

My next track planned is Le Mans Bugatti in May. Not with the Corvette forum, but with another one specialized in track cars in general. I go every two month to Abbeville and every month to Croix en Ternois. But those two are a bit small for the Vette so I rather take my lotus or my Miata.
