Default My First Corvette - 2006 Z06 LeMans Blue

I just put money down on my first corvette and it will be shipped to my house within the next 2 weeks.
This thing is a beast!!! Supposedly it puts 689 to the ground. It's mods include Kooks® Headers with X-pipe. Tranzilla® Magnum 6-speed transmission with the lube option. Mantic® 9000+ twin clutch kit. Quick Time® bell housing. Innovators West® Harmonic Balancer. ECS® differential brace. Aeromotive® return style fuel system.
The car was built by East Coast Performance (Mike Yeager) and another person who I don't know. I can't wait to have this in my garage.

But be careful, that's a lot of horses to control.

The other person is probably Joey Cartee.
He did most if not all of Mike's work.

We went to his parents house to look at it. They had tons of pictures from all of the stuff he has done. Very nice people. Thanks for the info!

I agree! The boost is at 9psi so I will need to commence some open road testing out in the country.

His dad had the white stripe taken off because he said it peeled off in one area.

$39,990
I thought it was fair based off of what else I had seen on the market for the last few months.

Z06 LS7 Compression ratio is 11:00 and running boost besides I'd put the highest Octane pump gas you can find in it 93 or higher if you can find it.
