I believe the red one has an LPE 427 no turbos and the black one is modified with cam, headers and bolt ons. Either way great collection of cars and always interesting to see his latest addition to his stable.

The Red one actually no longer has a LPE 427.. but it does have a 427 in it..
Never was turbo.The black C6 Z06 has LPE cam and AR headers, it made 511rwhp..

FWIW when he got the red car he said it was from the guys at LPE... they re-freshened the 427 for him and installed all the necessary coolers for HPDEs, coil overs, and BBK.
Car never was TT... the black one just has bolt-ons... but yes he does have nice cars.

You guys are too kind, except Ryan . Eventhough I post in the C6 Z section, I still lurk around here. I still love my C5 Z, it's my track car. I have driven John Page's (21st MC) '06 Z at TWS and still feel my C5 Z is more stable on the high speed turns. His car is fast and has coilovers/brakes ect. but I feel more confident in the C5, maybe because I have more seat time in a C5. For the record, my C5Z was a LPE 427 until it lost a timing chain, now it's been refreshed here locally and tuned by Patrick Sparks. It made 519rwh before, now it makes 551rwh/500rwt through 3:73s. My '06 has headers, small cam and makes 519. I'm getting ready to have ported heads and a real cam put in the '06. Thanks for all the kind words,
