I'm baaaaaaack!
Hey guys,
Well after just 10mos without a Corvette I couldn't take it anymore. I sold my C6 and bought a G8 GXP. Great car, but it's not a vette. I recently sold it and replaced it with an 08 JSB C6 Z06. Feels great to be back part of the community. I should have some mod info shortly as I've gone nuts already:
20" 360 forged wheels
LG LT's
Halltech KB II
Formato tb
Formato ported intake
Dropping the car off next week to get it all done.

GXP was pretty cool. Loved the bluetooth, but slow compared to any vette. It put down 355whp stock and 415 with an intake, pulley,header, tune combo. Comes with 3.70 rear gear and has the t6060 tranny. It moves out off the line, but at speed was a bit slower. 113-114mph trap speed car with the mods.
The C6Z reminds me why I love vettes do much. Thanks for the pic Joe!

Your old LMB on black ride was one of my favorites. It helped spur my decision to follow the same scheme.... then I see Joe G's car in new guise with the GS conversion, also LMB on black. Man, we're going to have to sell out and keep biting your style.

Thanks Joe! Jeremy Formato just installed the ported intake manifold and ported tb. Just drove it with those 2 mods. Wow, what a difference already.
Guy, Thanks by the way
The car is tuned and should have some more stuff this week.
