New guy here....pics and 1/4 mile vid
 
Hey guys. My name is David. Newly registered, but I've been lurking. Here's the new ride, got her bone stock for a killer deal from a relative with only 25K miles...

09 1LT A6 C6 Corvette

Mods I've done so far:

LG G6X3 cam package
Circle D 3200 Converter
LG Super Pro long tubes with offroad x
NPP mufflers with exhaust commander
Tuned by Allan at Futral Motorsports

new mods coming soon are an underdrive pulley, ported throttle body and a new air intake (still on the stock one lol)

Car made 460/i think 400 (cant really remember)

Anyway, here are some pics when i first got it and we (Screamin Cobra and myself) did some paint correction...

And here is the final product

Yesterday was a beautiful 70 degree day in south Louisiana so we went to State Capitol Raceway for their first raceday of the year. First pass on drag radials ever in this car, I only stalled to about 2700 because I was worried about traction. Next time I will stall a bit higher.


Car went 10.911 at 126.20 with a 1.628 60'. Nice to be here! :cheers:

Thank ya sir. Feels good to be out of the Cobra's and into the Vettes. Also nice to be in the 10s NA with only 3 real mods. Cam, Stall, and Full exhaust. I guess the tune is a "mod" also... :thumbs:

Still on the stock intake and filter too.

Looks Good!!!!

AORoads 01-21-2013 11:41 AM

very impressive and nicely done!:thumbs:

tucn26 01-21-2013 11:43 AM

nice car and very nice pass.

Never-Enough 01-21-2013 11:48 AM

That is one awesome machine

FordTraitor 01-21-2013 11:59 AM

Thanks guys. Gonna finish up my bolt ons and try for a 10.70 with a stronger launch. I'm just glad the tracks are being more lenient with running 10s with no cage now. If I can get a 10.70 with just bolt ons, I may shoot for a 9 with some nitrous. Not sure if I want to go that far just yet.

Pitufina 01-21-2013 12:04 PM

Really nicely done! Well chosen mods, simple and gets the job done. I'm an ex mustang guy who recently bought my 08. Btw, if you are interested, I have a BNIB SIP (stic it performance) intake that I'll be willing to sell cheap. PM me if interested.

Thanks. I'm actually gonna go with a Vararam. I like the way they perform and are reasonably priced. But I do appreciate the offer and the comment. :cheers:

FordTraitor 01-21-2013 12:13 PM

It's funny....my car seems to run better when there's a Mustang next to it. :P

No problem at all!:cheers: I love the way it runs with simple mods and best of all in n/a fashion! Great job!

Thanks. Havent seen you around BR yet. We go to Twin Peaks a lot. Maybe we will see you out there. Look for my car and a silver Z06 with Black spider wheels. :rock: or i can PM you when we are planning to all go cruise.

Pitufina 01-21-2013 12:27 PM

What size headers?

Sounds good to me. Unfortunately I don't get many opportunities to just go out and drive, but I'd definitely like to. Hopefully my lowly stock coupe will fit in alright :D.

Ceramic coated 1 3/4....we decided since I was gonna stay NA that 1 7/8 was too big. Didn't wanna lose all that torque.

Shouldn't be an issue...we have some friends with modded mustangs that you are still faster than. :rofl:

Cool. I was hopping you were going to say 1 3/4. That's what I want to use. Thanks.
