Default She finished....for now.

First off, I would like to offer some thanks to Midnite902 for some "Spy Shots" from 21CMC he managed to get on Friday. I will be flying to Dallas to retrieve her this week for the journey back to the Big Easy.

Mods completed this time include: Some LPE Engine work, LPE MAF, Polished Procharger, 60lb Motrons, Carbon Fiber Interior, Dual Autometer Gauges, Chrome covers not pictured, along with MCM Carbon Fiber Hood, Chrome Hoops. Once I get her home and cleaned up...I will post some additional pics.

Default Yellow C6

Good luck on the mods. On another note, I have seen that yellow C6 in the background out at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson,TX and that car & driver is fast! I talked to him and at the time he had shocks and full exhaust. The vipers, C6Z06s, porsches and M5s couldn't touch him.

Thank you sir...can't speak for Jeremy, however, I told John I wanted to err on the side on lower numbers and increased reliability. The car will be destined for the car show circuit vs the track circuit...thus, I am happy with what I have

Looks awesome and impressive dyno's. I'm envious. Did you do anything to reinforce the rear end or suspension?

Looks great, and so do the numbers. I've got the Procharger D1SC on order and should be in in about 2 weeks. Will add it to heads, cam, headers and Corsa's. Looking for numbers in the same range, maybe as high as 570/490.
