$29,000 seems like a lot for wheels and a supercharger? I guess everything I see doesn't compare to the 427 CID LS2 Twin Turbo... even though it cost quite a bit more.

srika

worst wheels in the universe.

synth19

those wheels are absolutely horrid.

njzprettyboy

the wheels suck on that car...but on others they actually look really hot...i **think** they are work euroline LS' with different center caps...the look really nice on 2gen TLs...

Wheels = :ugh. That is too much $$$$ for wheels and a SC IMO.

Yumcha

So, the lesson here is that: Germans need to turn German cars...?

The wheels and bodykit totally screws up the looks.

I think it's a fair price.... How much is a Supercharger for lets say Acura TL? You then add 20" rims (most of which are expensive) and a very good set of tires. On top of that you add the labour costs and tunning of the SC and $29,000 doesn't seem that bad anymore.

Lowered by more than two inches with 20's? Was the Vette that high before?

Let the Germans stick with tuning German cars. The C6 can have an intercooled Procharger, fuel upgrades, a forced induction cam, valve train, and head back exhaust, along with wheels for about 10 grand, maybe less. And it will have much more power.

really looks like a C5 from the back...

Could the price be because of what the corvette and parts cost in europe compared to here?

Atleast that could explain a little. I don't really care for it.

SSMTL01

the wheels arent bad- just bad on this car The body kit doesnt match the lines of the car at all either.

aaronnn

youre.. not thinking right?

the supercharger on the TL will only cost 2500-3500.. plus labor another grand. wheels and tires will be lets say another 3 grands.

which gives you a total of 7,000 altogether..

nowhere near 29,000!!!

Or you could keep the C6 stock (no shame there, as its still a rocket) and pickup a Honda Accord EX V6 w/Navi for use as a daily driver.

The blower looks nice, but the wheels and the body kit are horrible.

stick with good ol' Lingenfelter: link

some of the stats according to the latest Road and Track mag:
Twin Turbo 7.0 liter ohv V8
725 bhp @ 5400 rpm
730 lb-ft @ 4200 rpm
forged alloy wheels, 19x9f, 19x12r

Lingenfelter Gen-2 427-cu.-in. V-8 twin-turbo package with w/high efficiency heat exchanger and charge cooler.

0-60mph 3.9 sec
0-100mph 7.3 sec

0-150mph 13.8 sec

80-0 mph 202ft
60-0 mph 116ft

That same 427 in a 2002 Corvette went 0-60 in 1.9. According to the magazine this car could've gone faster if they didn't spin the tires through 1, 2, and 3 gear.

I'm aware that they also have a 'Vette that has over 1000hp, but I'm just posting the stats from the mag I just read on the can.

A tuned Z06 by these folks:

And one more:

Nicky Pass

Its to "Fast and Furious" looking.

Chemmech

202 mph? The C-6 tops out at 186 mph, who the hell is gonna notice the difference?

Edr0e

People at the drag strip?

kurt_bradley

Just as an example: Ever gone 140? Then 160? You definately notice the difference. Imagine the difference between speeds 40 mph faster. I've been one who has gone over 180 in a car and let's just say it is plenty different than going 160.
