I don't care for that kind of mods but that car looks Sick. I love the interior color and mix of different leathers. Not a hugh fan of the DVD's and things but there is a lot of money sitting there, good or bad, a lot of $$$.

Did anyone see the numbers he said that car puts down? Something seems wrong with those numbers, very low with that much boost. 497rwhp @ 8.2 psi? Yeah, very strange.

I agree. PLUS...why the hell buy a Z06 if you can't use the freakin' trunk?? lol If I couldn't fit a rack, Marshall 50 watt head, twin 12 cab, and two Strats in the trunk of my 2003 Z06, I wouldn't have bought the damned thing. Look...the Z06 is fast enough without adding another 200 hp to it. What are these guys looking for? lol
Nice car....it's "too much" though. "Too much" is Pamela Anderson getting ANOTHER larger breast implant. "Too much" is....uh......never mind.

I don't care for it at all. About the only thing I would do if I had the kind of $$$ is the fender flares in the back and the coil overs. However I'd go with LG's kit or the one from Callaway. Nothing from Specter Werks will ever go on my car!!!! Period!


That being said, to each his own. If the owner likes it, power to him, and far be it from any of us to tell him what's cool and what's not. Of course we are all allowed to have our opinions as well.

My opinion personally is I don't care for it.

I don't care for the color but to each his own.
This car seems built for standing around and looking at! Not racing!

Don't care for the interior but those fenders flares are crazy.

With the same driver using the same lane on the same day within the same hour? Ya, I'll cover your bet. I'm sure the NOS alone can cover your bet too.
