LPE Commemorative TT C6
Looks like LPE has a few pics of their Commemorative Edition C6 TT up on their website - take a peek - what do you think? I like the rear end treatment, and the hood is definitely unique. The HREs are a winner hands down IMO as well. Subtle but effective!

Can I trade my girlfriend for one? She is much lighter and her mouth runs much faster.
It's an awesome looking car, 725hp wow! Is the tranny/output shaft beefed up to handle the power? Also what exactly was done to the brakes? It looks fast yet tasteful, just the way a vette should be. Job well done.

I hope so! Did you sell your 383? Time to step into a commemorative 427 TT C6?

Are you guys going to post any larger pics of the car so we can get a better look at the body modifications?

Jusr re- read the LPE WEB page and see that it CAN BE either a coupe or convertible!!!
Probably need to ask John or Kerri (I keep forgetting to do so), but is there any chance that one (or more) of these special editions could be Verts?

I agree they do look like photoshops, I think I read somewhere that they will start building them in the next couple months.

Hi guys,
Yes you can get them in the Convertible as well. As far as being photoshop modified, I can't answer that for sure. The company doing our body kit, did the renderings for us, and I don't know how they came up with the pics you see. These are only the first renderings, showing mainly what the body components will look like. I would say as the first ones are built, we will have some actual photos to pass along to the forum. I look for them to give a more realistic look of the car, which I think everyone will find a lot more appealing. There are some details to be worked out, and wheels are one of those details. So the wheels you see in the pics may not be the actual wheels used.
Turbo Z06,
It would be cheaper to do the Coupe or convertible in the long run, as the Z06 and most all of the extra features your paying for are going to be changed any way!
I think your only messing with me any way!
Estimated cost of the upgrade is about $75000, but won't know until the first one is finished. It may seem like a bit much, but thats what everyone said about the Yenko, Berger, Motion upgrades 35 year ago as well! 1 of 25 should also make this something for all of us to remember when were bench racing in 2045!

Hey Jeff are any of the driveline, suspension, internal engine components upgraded? Stronger rear, clutch, etc, etc? With that kind of power, combined with that price tag, I would expect a reliable upgrade. Any comment on this?

As everyone can appreciate, if a new killer product comes to market, we want to leave some options open to take advantage of aftermarket products should they become available, and prove their potential. As everyone knows, there is new cool stuff everyday in the Corvette world!
