I drove a 2007 z06 when it was new. It was a monster in factory trim with no modifications at 90 mph in 4th gear it would just break the tires loose it had so much power. I couldn't even begin to imagine one with double the horsepower.

Nicely done, cmr076.
That Corvette has a light flywheel (if it's a manual trans), judging by how quick it goes up and down the rev range.
Music.

It's actually an 8 speed auto.

How do you get the car to hook at all on the street??? Seems like even with drag radials it would just blow out the tires at just about any speed.

Then that's just offensive.
In a good way.

PLEASE tell me you changed out the round tips for angular ones?

I can't tell from the vid.

Or is there a reason the exhaust tips are round while everything but the tires is hard angles?

I still can't fathom why the engineers left them round.


I am with you 100%. I can't stand the look of the factory exhaust on these beauties.


I would imagine that it bothers most mustang owners, in that is the angle you'll see most often Big Grin

Clever!!
Though I bet if I spent the coin on the Mustang they do on a Corvette I could be just as fast if not faster.

Can you make my 2006 Lexus RX330 sound like that? I think I could survive on 500 hp.

Nice build. I have loved Corvettes since I was a kid. I am on my fifth one now. Since you brought up the Corvette subject.... I just sold a '09 Z06 which I loved to drive. They are very light and very fast in stock trim. But some tuning and the right parts can make them crazy fast. Anyway I hope you don't mind me posting my latest. It's a Callaway SC606 2012 Grand Sport Centennial convertible. Just got it and getting used to the torque monster. It's fun though. Quick photo with the top down. Big Grin
