Default New monster car with pics

Flew to Toronto om Monday, got picked up by John Caravaggio at the airport, went to his shop, then drove 26 straight hours to get to Brandon Manitoba . Got 5 hours sleep, then it was off to Calgary, 10.5 hours later I am home with the new car.

The car:
2009 Corvette ZR1....1730 miles on it, flawless shape .
Oh, yea, it also had a Lingenfelter upgrade with new Cam, intake, S/C pulley, tune and a very nice set of Corsa exhaust. Horsepower between 730-750 (will dyno in near future).

So, who would of thought a 750 hp car could run 26 straight hours and average around 23-24 MPG, one word...AMAZING!

Windows will get tinted immediately, then probably get some satin black wheels for it and a few interior goodies.



Brought one of my old plates out of retirement.



Two-tone Ebony and Titanium, looks really nice.




Carbon Fiber!!

Beautiful and I am sure awesome performance as well. Did you at least give your right foot a bit of an aggressive push during your 26 hour journey.

Nice choice on the interior colors.

Few, if any cooler vehicles exist on the planet
