2K2SilverTL-S' Corvette C6 Vert Thread



Finally found a place that new what they were doing with Corvette's in Houston. It sounds awesome in person. I dont think my Blackberry video really captures how good it sounds, but here's a teaser anyway.

Definitely sounds even better in person. If you were around the Houston area, I'd let you take it for a spin

DarkSithCL--hope to see you there and best of luck with the merc.

They're running a special for an A&A Vortech Supercharger with install and dyno tune with your graphs for $6,500 right now. Soooo f-in tempting.

A small cam isn't going to be any worse than trying to go the FI route.

You don't have to get a big ass cam like this.

Rick, I'll hopefully have more in store for the future for her. Right now, I'm just going to enjoy it as is, till that urge for more comes on. This thing is already really quick for me and im eating tires like nothing. These F***&%& runflats are $2200 for 4 new tires. I just replaced them 8K miles ago, and I need new tires already.

New Interior/Radar/Audio Set-up In The Corvette

Disclaimer: In reference to another thread, I am not associated with any company and I'm not trying to sell you any parts.

Anyway, swapped a bunch of parts out for genuine leather w/ red stitching/Monaco carbon (I installed all the parts myself as a little side-hobby----except the audio system which was a huge project with many bumps in the road). Tried not to go to overboard with the materials and NO solid "pimp daddy red" leather. Had the Kenwood 9980HD unit swapped for the just released 9990HD (much faster and better setup; thing kicks a**). Also pulled out and sold the K40 and installed the 2012 Race Edition Passport 9500iX radar (installed the corvette "blendmount" and "wiretap" to give it a clean look). Some pics.

Don't like CF, but the new head unit is great. Clean install on the radar detector, too .

Nice Bob. The V and the Vette must have a similar mirror/mirror power supply setup. Super easy install. Definitely beats tapping into the fuse box!
