What did it cost for the supercharger?

Frankdel

I don't plan on much highway driving except for my first drive in it from Atlanta to Lafyaette Louisiana. I'll be taking delivery at my son's house in Atlanta and the leaving for Lafayette on January 5. Once she's home I'll drive it to my office (6 miles each way in city traffic). Will have fun with it on weekends. Since this is my first ever Vette, any suggestions on what I should do with it next? Will a coating that protects the front end impact the look of the strips? What about car care products? Do I need an alignment that is different from factory specs as I have read on the forum that GSs tend to go through tires at a fast rate? Any suggestions?

Very nice. Actually picked up mine last month (traded in my modded 2008). It has a Hennessy package using the same eforce supercharger. Not quite as much power as yours given no cam change, etc. Looking at the cup wheels as well, but may go with something different.

Notice you are local, as I'm in McKinney. Let me know if you hangout at any of the normal spots as would love to see another CENTENNIAL.

GS M6 3LT

Does anybody know how many M6 GS's (non-vert) were made?

I think it was 996 or something like that. It was barely below 1,000, which is cool

Edit: Sorry I was referring to the 2012 GS CEs

I like that vette but that sure is a sweeeeeet Monte Carlo you got there!

I believe that is the Buick Grand National.

Go back to my post and click on the link to the Lingenfelter website. The details of the work and cost is there.

I purchased the car with all the work already done, except I added headers and had it retuned by the trusted local shop.

Total number of2012 grand sport coupes produced were 5056. Automatic transmissions were 3428. Therefore manual transmissions were 1628.

My manual trans CE coupe is one of 365 4LTs.

Thanks for info. If not mistaken, the total number of GS CE coupes was 1040. That's all comers, auto and manual. A call to the museum couldn't tell me the AT:MT ratio. Would be nice to know how few MT's of the CE GS were made.

OldZ51Racer

Assuming the AT:MT ratio is about the same, the number of manuals would be about 333.

BTW, that means my 4LT MT coupe is probably one of 120.

sarcasm does not come through in the message but I figure it would be clear with my Grand national sitting next to my GS.

Someone mentioned it was a Monte Carlo.

If you use a non matte protection it will make the stripes a bit glossier. I used expel ultimate on the hood painted section and had the installer piece matte expel on the stripes. Other guys have just done it all w one regular clear bra.

As for alignment- I keep the stock specs on mine. Tire wear depends on brand, driving style and how aggressive the alignment is.

Personally I like Michelins and Nittos

Those are close to the numbers I was estimating. Maybe some day we'll have a true number!

Thanks for the input and enjoy the 4LT! Happy Holidays!

Latest pics of my CE leaving the shop

Frankdel

Looks great! Fabulous shine! I've had my CE for 3 days now. Looks good coming from the dealer but nothing like yours. Looks like I've got some work to do. Will post some before and after pictures after I detail it.

By the way, what did you have done at the shop?

I see you added a ZR1 front splitter Look Great

Bump for the registry. Next pic will come when I install all my Christmas stuff
