To take a C5..and make it look like that? BLASPHEMYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Dad just put a supercharger in his miata... It just about keeps up with his Z06 now :)

Gray Eagle
just do it. I double dog in a snare dare ya. :devil
-
It's my opinion that a Vette come pretty much perfect right from the factory...
-
Agreed, the C5 is pretty enough as it is, don't need a mullet 6-71...leave that for the Camaro drivers.
-
My friend has a stock 2002 Z06 with a Vortech with alchool cooling giving 614RWHP. Only mod necessary is tubing the rear wheels to provide the traction. http://www.aacorvette.com did a great clean job installing it, but they r pretty pricy :t
... but sure is a lot of fun to drive.
-
I bet they had to change out the IRS for that kind of torque as well. You should post some pics, Frenchy.

No wonder yanks are always crashing, can't see anything over the freaking engine :)

Goes back to our lust for too much horsepower as displayed in the F4U. Was a beotch looking over the nose of that one, too.

-grin- .. when I make enough I'll do the deed.
I know there are some real nice underhood blower and turbo setups available that will push 600+ to the rear wheels.
And still look pretty much 'stock' .. we have a few runnin around in our club that just embarrass the *crap* outta various people that like to think Vette's are 'slow' or just don't realize what they have gotten into.
-evil grin-
For me tho .. if I am gonna spend 8-9k on a blower ..I want it polished and stickin in to the breeze ala 6-71 from BDS.
(their setup uses injection, not carbs, so it sits a bit lower overall compared to the photoshop chop I did above ..ie: no carbs, just an injector plate, then the Enderle butterfly type scoop).
And once you reach 600hp territory .. them lil o-rings they like to refer to as tires out back just don't do it for hook'em ups.
Ima need a Dana 60, 4:88's, and big stickies.
I want it all.
But .. that's just me :)
-Frank (I mean, sleeper image is fun, dont get me wrong .. but I like the idea of just plain ol lookin bad to the bone even before ya fire that beast up :)

That's the only ones I have Diablo. We don't like stuff that sticks out, no offense GreyE, but are opposite of you. The stock appearance is perfect, except the guages on the pilar. Even the Vortech whine is barely audible. We don't have a need to onkey with the IRS/trany/brakes/engine not even the driveshaft we did put Borla exausts. That's why newer vettes are so great I think, ready to handle anything.
The boost can be set from the cockpit, I thing we are runing 12 currently. The traction is the issue on 1/4 miles type of thing. We are thinking of tubbing the car to still keep the "stock look" but gain in traction for redlight blastoffs.

Gran Torino, 1972 I think, 73 and up smurfy, 72 last year they looked any good.

I always thought drivers were watching the cars ahead, not the planes overhead. ;)

Worked the IHRA races this past weekend in Tulsa. Saw lots of horsepower and money go down the track. My new favorite are the Nitro cars. Well, except the Nitro-Methane is like pepper spray when the exhaust hits your eyes and lungs.....

The Tomato came back from the dead. It was Boby's dad and was abandoned in the desert in SoCal for almost 20 years. To our surprise, nobody took her when we decided to resto her up. :pray We stroked the 302 to a 347, got 400 something HP out of her, and we installed a 200 shot of nitrus for kicks and giggles. We installed a detroit locker, and replaced all bushings with polurhetane. Fun driver, launches like a sailor on a hooker for such a Heavy/Low HP car.

wrong year, but I can see a camaro guy for not remembering... Starsky and Hutch was probably responsible for selling more Gran Torinos than polyester pants...
