Well, I finally did it. After running my H/C C6 Vert @ the Texas Mile in Oct (176.6 MPH). I realized FI is where it's at for the really extreme speeds. Sooooo, I purchased a 2004 Z06 today with 2100 miles (looks showroom new) that is equipped with an APS TT kit, BBK intake and aftermarket clutch.
The car was delivered to my mechanic today, for installation of a Snow Meth kit. A pillar 3 guage setup including boost, fuel psi & AFR gauges. And of course a custom tune by my mechanic. The car will get many more mods in the near future, as I intend to build it for the standing mile events. I'm hooked !!!!
