Nice story from Vette Magazine:

BTW, look closely and you'll see Lipstik's Callaway SC757 Z06 in there...

Chris nice read. My 16 Z is here in SW Florida, if I chose one of your packages how is shipping worked out, Do you provide this? Also where does it have to be shipped to and a ballpark of time frame from ship day to return back to me 1 month 2 months? Also do I get to keep all the parts you remove? and can I use my CAI Halltech or not? Thank you,

Nice read, however the performance seems to be lacking. Only 131 mph in the quarter as stock cars are running 128, and a car that just had an intake and tune recently posted here ran 135 mph.

Our advertised times are achievable, and can be compared to the factory stock M7 times of 11.2 at 127 MPH. Our performance is on point. A good example of this, was our 2010 SC606 Grand Sport Corvette which ran 10.8@128. That car, we advertised at 11.0@125. That was when our car had 118,000 miles, and was driven to/from the track

I am sure if we put a superstar driver in our SC757 Z06 on a cool night, with an exceptional DA, on a super prepped track, we'd cut the time and pick up MPH. But now we're bench racing

Default Chris, very impressive!!!

A great article and I am beginning to like the supercharger poking up through the hood. At first I didn't like it but I do like the resultant performance. It will interfere with my planned stripe down the hood.
Oh well, I will call you when I am ready to pull the trigger.
I met you through Mike Furman.
Awesome car.
VR,
Gordy
