Kinda tarded that some *** clown comes to a thread where a guy simply wanted input from people that actually mods their cars.

I guess all of LMR's, VR's, Lingenfelter's, Katech's, Redline's, SAM's, and every other performance shops customer's are all tarded.

You don't want to mod your car for whatever reason..more power to ya, this thread was not for you to argue your reason that it is "Tarded.

You feel that way, go to another section.

Imagine what this clown thinks of people putting TT's on a Lambo, which seems to be the hot ticket now for the top speed guys.

Awesome!

Looking forward to your results....

I would also research the cooling plates from Fasterproms, but the E85 should keep you running cool too!!

With bolt-ons alone consisting of an intake, tune, E85, pulley, and +/- headers you can net 100-150 HP and not even have to break into the motor. Pretty low risk assuming you get a good tune.

I've been thinking about doing headers intake pulley cams and a tune. My car hasn't even started the building process and I'm already planning on how to make it faster and louder!!

Now that we know what a child thinks. Here's what a grownup would follow up with.

How do you know they don't already own 'better cars'? Who's to say there isn't an Ashton Martin, 911 Turbo S, or Ferrari sitting in the same garage as the Z06?

What exactly do you own compared to anyone here? A Corolla? Accord? Mazda 3?

Tarded? What do you mean? Oh......you mean RETARDED, like, stupid, less advanced, foolish. You mean not smart , like you.

Well some us "tards" like to personalize our stuff by modifying it to make it look exactly how we want it, or sound exactly how we want it or make it run exactly how we want it.

Some of the smartest, most creative people on earth do tarded stuff like that all the time. Some people just aren't afraid. It must suck to go through life being so smart yet so scared.

I'm taking my time with my modifications. I enjoyed the car stock for the first 5,000 miles but curiosity got the better of me so I installed the Halltech CAI. These cars run so rich from the factory, the additional air was helpful - I can't believe how black my exhaust tips get. I'll probably drive it like this for a while because I'm looking for a good tuner in my area. When I'm ready, I'll probably go with headers, pulley, cam, meth and tune. My C6 had a blower, headers, cam, meth, and I never regretted any of it. Everything I did made the car better, faster, sexier and more fun to drive.

Enjoy your car or just curl up and snuggle your warranty. Stock is great if you want to have the same car as everybody else. To each his own but I'm proud to be a tard!

I ran the percentage once, and added like 5 extra for what we don't know and it came out to like .0025 percent of Z's have blown! It's a very small percentage.

He's a troll who's been clowning on the C7 for 3 years now. I thought he would have given up by now, but apparently the C7 stole his lunch money, took his dog, and his wife, and he can't let it go.

I decided to go with a ProCharger F1-A and American Racing headers with Akrapovic exhaust. I should be be around 750rwhp. If I want more power I can add Meth and turn the boost a little. I went this route because I wanted mid and upper power and didn't want more stress on the stock supercharger and extra heat. One very important thing to remember is you got to have a GOOD tuner. All I know it is going to be a bad *** car and I'm not worried about it breaking down because I know Fran at Race Proven Motorsports knows what he is doing. Again that's the key.
