bought a C6
Put a deposit down on a orange 06 C6. It is imported from the states to here in the U.K. It has the Z51 sports handling pack, ZL 465 performance pack of blackwing induction system, long tube ceramic headers, high flow cat converters, 1.85 rocker arm package, powerflow crossover pipes, powerflow sports exhaust, quad tips and ZL 465 badges.
Has any body fitted the above kit on their c6 and does it uprate the bhp to the 465bhp. I have'nt drove the standard C6 so I would'nt know the difference.
Is there a marked difference in performance after the kit was fitted?
Appreciate any info.
thanks. Jamie

Thanks for that Mau. Noticed that ecklers specify for off road use, why would that be as it's not a massive increase in bhp over standard. Do they mean only for track? The car I'm getting is Orange and I notice that there are'nt many that colour for sale on the forum. Is it an undesirable colour or is it a limited colour.
Thanks. Jamie

Try looking at Mid America Corvette. Also do a search at Corvette Fever Magazine. I saw the SLP package in Corvette Fever about a year ago and in did a nice job of adding power.
And welcome to the group. Have fun with your new toy Jamie.

Thanks for that gents. Looks like I'm getting a good un with the 465 package and the orange colour. It's got the z51 sports handling pak and the guy I'm buying it off has'nt got any info.on it. What exactly does this do? You don't see many vettes at all in the part of U.K. I live and my c6 will be the only one as I know of in the district I live in so it's smiles all round.
