Ive been wanting to get into a C6 since my dad got his in 2004. Always loved the looks and ride/handling of the car from day 1, and with the LS3/7s they are starting to get REAL fast...

Got lucky and found a good deal on here with this one. It's a 2008 AO 1LT/Base car, 16,600 miles when I got it on 10/23 (17,1XX now), large custom grind Comp cam, kooks LTs and X pipe w/o cats, Corsa cat back (had B and B Bullets but I sold it Saturday), Vararam, and a 150 plate kit with controller and window/warmer...

Car made 501 NA and 622 on a 150 hit. I havent re dynoed it yet as I am out of town till Christmas time, but the car will be re dynoed in Dec and I will post the numbers up.

Here are some pics I took last week and a vid the night after I got it messing around for a friend who wanted a ride. I was soft on the 1-2 because when I power/speed shifted it right before this vid, it hopped and slid all over the road and we almost went into a ditch at about 70.

Time for stereo soon!

I always wanted a copper metallic C4 ZR1. Good looking ride. I think the C5-current vettes have some of the nicest car asses out there.

Do you have the Z51 package?

I love C6es... the base model is so damn good for so cheap, and they look amazing! I am a sucker for LS engines too

Now knowing you, you're probably going for more power right?

no its got a good nitrous setup, it makes 622 at the wheels which is over 700 crank hp... thats good enough really for a 3100 lb car. should run mid 10s at 137 mph or so, and if u have been in a car that fast on the street, it is plenty.

I have my 86 I am still working on that will run about 180 in the 1/4, so I dont really need to add any power to this one... it's just a looker and cruiser, and I will probably drive it almost every day.

Not sure on the tunes, I am leaning towards using my Off Roads, just gotta measure to see if there is room on each side of the bottle.

Already have a 10W3 v 3 in a JL stealthbox, and speakers with be Focal Utopias, Alpine touch screen double din radio, Sirius, i Pod, DVD-V/A, changers, etc.

System I bought and designed for my Cobra, that I never ended up installing because I knew I wanted a Vette.

btw, the STS turbo company in general is crap, and their products are crap. Bad build quality, over charge prices, terrible reliability and power etc. Know a LOT of people in Dallas that have scrapped entire kits and wasted near 10 grand to rebuild their f ups.

If I do any more mods to it the way it sits, it will be a stroker motor and a large procharger supercharger kit.

And no, this is not a Z51 car, I want the brakes and sway bars, but not the stiff springs and shocks... I plan to buy Konis for it in the near future and keep my nicer ride.

Love the black out treatment. My F-I-L has a C5 that I get to drive rarely. And I detail this '07 occasionally:
