Bought this 05 C6 A and stone stock this summer it did a best of 13.0.
Vararam, x, lgcats LG headers and a tune later it did a 12.065 at 115.06 yesterday. ...1.845 60'. ....and with hockey puck 20" tires. Need to stiffen up shifts (2nd to 3rd was ba.....wa) and put in a converter......11's?
Hats off to all Corvette owners. Best sport car value on the planet.

Thanx guys for the kudos..
They are AVUS rims.
Son beside car. He luvs driving it.



Yes I am happy kObun.....just did not buy this car for quarter miles but am pleasantly surprised how quick and easily the vette did 12.0's.
My Chevelle does 10.0's so I think....for now anyway....that performance upgrades on the vette will stall...just minor adjustments...everything is working good and changes sometimes make ya go slower.

AFR heads too, nice! (I'm debating to slap some AFR on my BBC) you should post a pics of the chevelle side by side with the vette...just because we all need a little bit of internet "****" once in a while!
