It has been 20 days since FactoryRaceCar left my place and new owner drove it off into the sunset. I have been missing my car since then. I had to immediately start a new project (a very expensive one) as I was having withdrawls.

I am not used to driving my Corvettes in stock form at all. I have been a F/I junkie since 1993. Have owned countless supercharged and turbocharged sports cars since then. I have to have all my toy cars forced inducted. Of course, the new project was no exception.

Goals for this car are entirely different from my last one. It is quiet. Quieter than any stock C5 or C6 that I have EVER driven just like how I wanted my next car to be. No lopey cam, no loud exhaust, no headers nothing. Defy it and instant annihilation! This car is the ultimate sleeper and yet reliable enough to take cross country trip anytime I want and can smoke 99% of anything out there. Liter bikes do not even come close.

So guys even though it is C5 forum, most of my friends hang out here and I still lurk and help people out with their questions as much as I can. I just thought I would share some pictures of my new beast in the making with my C5 family! I have long ways to go but will keep you guys updated if moderators left this thread in C5 General.

Without further ado, here are the pics of another dream in the making and to answer all the questions in PMs from my friends about my next project!

Notice the size of that monster Intercooler!

















All GM inner wheel well liners too! I do everything the RIGHT way!



Good bye C6 look.......





As usual, I still hate bling. Red spoiler and licese plate frame had to go immediately.....









Of course, need braking power.........













Glimpse of some of the most important components of the one and only TTiX Twin Turbo Kit!!!





Till next time



So guys do you honestly think this new project will help take the pain away of letting my C5 go???

 

I think the FRC will be a fond memory, Noumie. I think it's a more than adequate replacement. I can't quite figure out if it's a C6 or a C6 Z06...kinda looks like a C6 to me.

Have lots of fun with your new project, my friend!

It kind of reminds me of a project car that Xtreme recently finished - and since many of you probably don't venture over to the C6 Z06 General Discussion forum, I thought I'd share this thread that I posted over there.....

should do the trick

 

No. It's a C6

Why would you be happy?

 

I have a perfect answer for you but you are not worth it since you edited your original post. Move on to the next thread before I rip you a new one noob.

 

VERY build Nouman! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with the C6 as well. Looking forward to the build progress threads. Sounds like a beast.

 

you may knock Joshua but he's a Corvette guy he works at an ALL Vette dealer and deals with them all the time. just a FYI. Love the look on the new ride man

 

Are you kidding..... not only will that help, it just might cure whatever is ailing you. I have a sneaky suspicion that you already know that, though. Love goes out to all the C's.

 

Should help alot - NICE

 

Hey Nouman...can I watch ??

 

HEY!!!!.........That license plate sure looks familiar!!

 

Nouman, I missed the post saying your C5 had gone

Looks like you have something to keep your mind off things. But lets face it, nothing can ever replace the C5

Congrats on the new ride and I hope you hang out here even though you've moved on

 

keep us updated!

 

Now this looks like fun Nouman, Looking forward to the finished pics

Chuck

 

While the FactoryRaceCar may never be out of your memory, I'd say you are well on your way to building a very worthy replacement for her. Keep us updated as you go along - looks like a very interesting project.

 

Very nice. Love the sleepers More to come ?...

 

Nice pics! Looks like its going to be another awesome build. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

Its C5 Gen....what did you expect? take it to C6
