A Quick Vid
My sister shot this vid with her iPhone 6 plus on the drive back. Nothing crazy, just testing her out on that 1st drive home.
Although this is #terriblefinancialmistake
This is priceless

haha....thanks guys.
Those were all out of gear downshifts. If I downshited into the right gear I would have been in the divider. The supercharger's scream from the front is glorious and I love the sound of the Borla Atak with the LG Headers, and now Catted (but not really catted ) X-pipe.
Just sucks I never got to really enjoy the car before I had to send her back. Oh well...hopefully will be better than ever when I get her back (better be with all the pain my wallet is going through)

Dude.. I think I/we may have a problem. I did too much to the 5.0 too fast and I may be able to sell without losing much if anything AND I have my eyes on a supercharged '07 C6...

You made your 5.0 look perfect for someone looking for a sweet 5.0.
I PM'ed you my email. Let me help you out and make sure you know what to look for, ect......

Well sucks about the above D. PM'd you back.
Another update with my car, turns out ECS found my Torque Tube was "torn apart" and that was causing the clutch issue. Still, they recommend upgrading the clutch to the Mantic with my power level (of course) and a new torque tube now.
Tack on more to the bill.....my rectum hurts at this point

Finally got everything straightened out (new torque tube, Mantic 9000 twin disc race clutch, slave, remote bleed, etc)and the wheels mounted. This car is an absolute MONSTER. It needs to be experienced to be appreciated. The sound and vibration runs through your body. Deep and throaty beyond what the camera can capture. After clearing the ~3 feet of snow we had, I had to take her out at the 1st glimpse of spring (upper 50s today). The traction control system catches in every gear. It is insane. I will mount the GoPro and go for a ride when its nicer (the pops and crackles decelerating bring tears to my eyes and---i'll admit---have made me giggle like a teenager again, they are so beautiful), but here are a few teasers.....
Walk around.....

haha....thanks man. This was a mod I always dreamed about doing
I wish you guys were closer to come for a ride and experience it in person. I can't say enough of how bonkers the car is and how nuts the noises are that makes. I was asking myself whether this upgrade was honestly worth as much as buying a new Honda Civic. My conclusion is.....................YES
Where do you guys want camera mounted?

Personally, I want various angles to try and capture the whole experience. I.e. Right behind you on the driver head rest or similar area, on the dash facing front then back, facing the speedo, definitely a clip of the gopro facing the exhaust.
Shit, I'm excited as if it was my own car. Hahahah

Camera mounted rectally please!
Honestly, I love the vids from the car where you hear it and kinda see how it is accelerating, but to me, having someone standing still from a distance in an open lot or something is where you can REALLY see how fast the mass is moving from a stop!
Anyway, thanks, man...very happy for you.

I wish I could teleport this thing to San Diego and you could enjoy it with me D. The weather during the winter here makes driving this thing impossible (I'm having the traction control catch in 6th--an overdrive gear!) Once it gets nicer out, I'll try to put something together---I can't say how bananas this thing is again. Those vids were nothing
Thanks again guys.

BTW, I let my sister drive the beast in a nearby parking lot and the video is hilarious (my commentary is as I am shi**ing bricks filming). She did an awesome job though and posted "who says girls can't drive stick or supercharged vettes for that matter."

Thanks guys. Andrew, you're going to have to let me know when you guys head out for a cruise, bear mountain, ect. NYTHAWK will have to bring his sweet resto-mod C3 as well NYTHAWK, didn't you have a lemans blue C6 Vert' a while ago?

One of my goals when I first got this car was to make it look as good top up as down. While that is a lofty goal, this is the end result of 6.5 yrs. I'm done!

No, I've only had 80 vettes. Though a newer one would be nice to have.

Anyway, this winter needs to end already! It's too cold/dangerous to put together some vids getting the full insane experience of this car, so an idling vid will have to do for now. The sound is perfect and as good as I could expect for a stock cam. The Borla Atak is an awesome exhaust for the vette. Add full bolt-ons and a supercharger and its even better. This sound vibrates through your body standing outside, if you can imagine that....

^Seriously though, if someone could stuff a Corvette drivetrain into a 3g TL, that would be unbelievably awesome. That would be some epic 3rd gear VTEC yo!!

I especially enjoy hearing the diff crank-startup sounds of diff motors and that nice rumble right when the motor cranks up to life!
Can't even imagine how much time/money would need though. It will be a full RWD conversion plus if any LS motors could fit into the engine bay with all the pumps, wiring, trans, driveshaft, diff, exhaust, etc. etc. May be cheaper to build a custom tube frame that drop a TL body onto it....
But if someone had enough money/time and did it right...could be totally bad ass.

That would be an insane swap....could be an incredible sleeper...(though the motor/exhaust noise would give it away too fast.)

at the end of Nov we took a ride down to the Windmill in Long Branch... but we usually trek it around north NJ, Bear Mtn or the Chatterbox... as long as we can log 200 miles in a day, it's probably the most that my friends put on their vette at one time in the whole year...
link to your C3??? i want to do an '82 restomod... unless i can find a '90 ZR1 for under 20k (yummm quad cam)
