New and looking for 12 second 1/4
Hello all,
I just purchased my first Vette yesterday. She is a 2004 Coupe 6 speed. Tiptop condition with only 30k miles, bone stock.
My Question is what is the quickest mod for the best price that I could use to get into the Mid/High 12's in this car.
Thank you all in Advance-
Mike

Seat time=lower ET's
Your right at the high 12's in stock condition. Throw a 390 or 410 in the rear and your good to go. Have fun and Good luck.

Long tube headers, Vararam and tuning plus some practice will get your 6 speed deep into the 12s.

Several do, but with an M6 and no mods, you're not looking to gain much for the price.... collect your add-on goodies and pay once for a road tune with someone good...

Just buy drag radials and practice, quite a few guys have done it bone stock. Power wise a vararam alone should put u there if ur a good driver.
