i did clean my garage (in photoshop) - didn't you see my wallpaper post on the next page?? :nod:

And for the folks asking about the sound clip ... it does sound nasty but I used the F1 supercar iteration just to make a point that it is too loud right now ... not that it actually sounds like an F1 supercar... still want sound clips??? It has a borla stinger exhaust with long tubes, and the massive TRaK cam ... gotta be loud right?!

Oh, I hear that - I was NEVER a fan of red. Until I saw this Corvette. It really, really popped. I dunno what it was, but it caught my eye unlike any other red car had been able to do!

That's a lot of power for those mods.

No scanner, but I have the dyno sheet right next to me. check around though, that is pretty plain jane hp for what I have done. Don't confuse horsepower with rear wheel horsepower though I just did the usual 387rwhp (what it dynoed at to the wheels) and did the 20% calculation to it. It ran 11.6 @ 118mph with a 1.7 60 ft time. Yes, have the time slip but still ... no scanner!

It is a 2005 and just has the supercharged L67 - I'd like to mod it up, but promised my wife I wouldn't do anything to it to change the sound/loudness so I'll just do some minor mods to get it to the 13's

Thanks for clarifying the hp numbers.

I thought you were claiming RWHP and wondered how you could do so well.

for the most part, i have ditched quoting rwhp #'s (for now) mainly because people who don't know cars don't understand.
