French corvettes need power !
We have to kick *** to german and italian cars all day long here in Europe ...
Ron @ Vengeance has taken care of us
.
I've experienced several vendors in USA ... they aren't generally insterresed to ship in european, don't have the patience to communicate. Ron is definitively the man !
So we have ordered 3 Vengeance Packages for 2 Corvette C5 and 1 Camaro Z28 : VRX5, TFS 215 and a lot of stuff ... stay tuned !
I've received the pallet yesterdat at the CDG Airport, Paris ...

Good to see some friendly French people.. I thought the French hated all Americans.. That was my experience when I went over to France... Have a nice day.. The heads /cam and headers will really wake up that motor!

"Where did the fleur-de-lis come from? At the time, Chevrolet was conducting research on various emblem designs for the 1953 and 1954 passenger cars. They looked at the Louis Chevrolet family history in an attempt to discover a crest or some type of heraldry that they could utilize. Unfortunately, they came up empty, but they did realize that Chevrolet is a French name and the fleur-de-lis (flower of the lily) is a French symbol meaning peace and purity. They decided to use the fleur-de-lis along with the famous blue Chevrolet bow tie on a new flag which replaced the American flag on the Corvette. When the 1953 Corvette first appeared to the public at the Waldorf Historia Hotel, the redesigned emblems were in place."

I can't agree. I lived in France for four years and found the vast majority of French people to be warm, sympathetic, fun loving people. The few people I found rude were big city folk who would likely be rude anywhere in the world.

Interresting information.
I've never noticed the 'flower of lily / Fleur de Lis' on the logo.
In France, the Flower of lily is the symbol of the royalty (which ends up with the famous guillotine).
And camaro comes from the french word 'camarade' : pal, friend

Well actually the fluer-de-lis came to be as noted below as a replacement for the American flag because it was illegal to use the American flag on a commercial product at the time.

+ ported Fast 92 + Ported LS2 TB + Ford 30 SVO injectors + YT Rockers + CR5 timing chain, melling oil pump etc etc ...
Already on the car : Callaway honker, ARH 1-3/4 Headers w/ cats, Borla Stinger.
It's an Mn6 (stock 3.42 rear)
I will yune my car by myself (I'm the most experimented Lsx tuner in France). Do you use hptuners or efilive ?
I have both but I prefer hptuners.
Do you have tuned it in speed density or not ?
