Nice vette! You are helping to break the stereotype that vettes are for those carrying AARP membership cards.

This makes me hate you even more than before ;) Awesome ride :tup:

Nice review, get some more pics up and a video when you get a sec :tup:

I rode in a coworkers vette once and the thing pulled hard. I was surprised how firm and planted the suspension felt.

sick car dude... I roll with the same car in red to meets in cap tree park out here on long island. And he has LTH, Exhaust, and some type of intake/manifold work. The car is downright ludacris...

His car beat a 700+ hp supra from a roll, embaressed a 2005ish viper, than ran a gt3 right after, sponsored by some PPE race shop, there is a pic of the gt3 in my album somewhere and they were about even... the vette got off of it first and the porshe guy came back all gung ho about winning but in reality it was dead even... You litteraly can hear his car from miles away if he is getting on it... By my house there are also a few guys with blowers on their z06s.. I had a video of an orange one with a charger hitting it from about 25 yards behind me when I was flooring my car, you see his car FLY past like I was standing still and disapear within 5 seconds but you hear it for about 2 minutes..

That car doesnt need a thing to be a performance freak but here by me on long island we have a fair share of them done up VERY nicely, they are very impressive..


congrats dude... money well spent BUT i still woulda got a 2012 GTR :p

As to the gearing, I am glad it is so tall. The thing winds out first gear so fast that if it weren't so tall, I would smack the rev-limiter before I knew it.

The 325's out back do help a lot!

Those brakes? They are insane. The dust they produce is insane, too. If you own one of these without the comp-gray rims, you are in for some serious work to keep it looking presentable.

Wax the rims, it will help keep that dust off.

BTW...Nice ZO6...great looking car

The LSX engine series is sick from a roll. Tons of power under the curve, and they just don't give up. I remember back when I had my WS6, I killed Z4M's, an NSX, and was dead even with a full bolt-on w/cams 02 GT from a roll, stomed a Challenger R/t, etc. This LS7 feels like my LS1, except...MOAR! 4th gear doesn't give up until 160+mph. I have not taken it there, but this is from what I have read and looking at the rpms, I believe it. The car scares me. It has a LOT of power.

The flip-side is that in traffic and normal driving, it is as docile as my G20. Very tractable. You floor it, and it will scare you. My Dad was literally screaming (has owned modded Harley's, a 'vette, and was building a 289 powered trike with 3 deuces up top). The kid his wife sortof adopted (15) took a ride in the car and was shaking when we got out (Just a quick first-gear blast from a low roll--street-start is supposedly 4.1 seconds 5-60. I don't know. I just know that the thing squatted and the scenery blurred and I looked down and the needle was whipping forward like a watch-hand on crack. All I could think was "I think it's time to shift..." and nailed 2nd and the exhaust popped once between gears and it squatted back down and continued it's manic pursuit of triple-digits.)

Thanks! I was actually told at the factory to wax the barrels as well. I admit I did not pull the rims off and do that, I will do that when we change tires at some point later, but I have coated the rims in Rejex, the car has 30% F1 ceramic tint, and the entire front-clip, mirrors, and rockers/brake ducts have been wrapped in Venture Shield Ultra.

I love it! You can't even tell it's been wrapped unless you REALLY inspect it. Rejex goes on easy, shines great, and comes off just as easy. I just converted my former roommate from Zaino with it.

i'm sure its awesome. i was actually just making fun of supras... because its always 'lets race from a roll' :p

Ballin'!!! I don't know you, but I hate you.... j/k. I really like that the headlamp housing is not white, adds contrast.

Awesome cars. I've been looking into them a lot. I would have to get a gently used '08ish, though. Next in line is the 370, of course, and the Boss 302.
