My C7.R Edition
 
1 Attachment(s)
hey guys, i've been on here for over a year- but never posted pics of my z06. I was a 911 turbo guy, had a couple of them before I got the Z. Never ever did I think I would be a corvette guy, but now... I cant imagine not even having a vette in my garage. I bought this car primarily based on the technical statistics. I love everything about this car EXCEPT for the unbearably loud tires (MPSS) but thats ok.

My list of mods are:
GM Performance Filter
Ported SC
Pulley
JTM Tune
OEM E85 kit
Mighty Mouse catch can
Kooks headers and xpipe w/ green cats
LG lowering spindles
Hurst shortshifter (modified)
Carbon fiber Center console and CF steering wheel trim piece
Entire car (excpt doors) has been Xpel'd and Titanium Ceramic Coated.
k40 hardwire laser jammer/ radar detector w/ integrated remote control
30% tints all around, 60% windshield
19x10.5 and 20x12.5 3 piece wheels

I don't plan on ever letting go of her, especially since its the final front engine manual transmission vette.
Hope to meet some fellow enthusiasts and check out eachothers cars. im an nyc local but i spend quite a bit of time in miami.

Thanks for looking.

P.S. i drive the car.. alot. like, a lot a lot. I've got some cool videos of mexico runs that I might post later.

Great looking ride...keep on driving!

Thanks Steve.

Looks great! Yellow calipers also look killer on a black car.

DevilDog II 05-03-2019 08:25 AM

Gorgeous car, but those shorts have to go. ;) :thumbs:

Trackhawkz06 05-03-2019 08:35 AM

I think i have your exact car in red.... getting e85... (Got ARH Headers with a Akro Ti exhuast) But everything else..... We went the same route! I might copy those wheels... i fell in love pretty quick! Where did you get them! What tires are you running?

There is a classic Porsche Corvette Rivalry. As I have said before on this site I had a 991 911S and the two cars on my radar were a 911 Turbo or the Z06 perhaps moving on to the C8.
There was something with the Porsche I did not like. It was too clinical? It just did not get the juices flowing, it was not visceral enough.

Anyway, they are both great cars and they have their place.

Great car, enjoy.

tomtoro 05-03-2019 03:59 PM

Very nice car, and looks like you are having some fun with it. Noticed the Pennsylvania tags and inspection stickers - is that so you don't have to put one of those NY front license plates on it?

howdigethere 05-04-2019 10:34 PM

mmhmmm
cops are merciless on cars w/ out front plates in ny. theyre starting to get crazy with tints now too

Mikec7z 05-05-2019 01:24 AM

howdigethere 05-05-2019 07:21 AM

After they push everybody down to Florida then what will they do? Nice Z.

Beautiful car. I've got a couple questions: The CF center console, is that an adhesive overlay, or real CF? Where did you source it? And, what is that cluster of buttons next to the HUD controls? :rock:

howdigethere 05-16-2019 01:16 PM

thanks man!
the CF center console is real cf. I purchased it from https://www.westcoastcorvette.com/p-...y-z51-z06.aspx


the cluster next to the HUD is my wired remote control for my k40 laser/radar system.
