Belt is rite, vettes are so common, i mean u really cant distinguish a z06 from a c5 other than color, but i see atleast 3-5 corvettes a day during reasonable weather in the winter, and at 8-10 day during the summer

you dont see the Z06 emblem? the non-hatchbacked design? or the little black psuedo vents near the rear wheels?

im not buying a Vette to turn heads. i dont care about being common or original. vipers exceed the point of overindulgence IMO, id rather look common than look like a flake with too much money to spend and not enough taste.

i honestly have to disagree, atleast with me. when i see a vette, i do the scan. front to back. and one of 2 things pops in my head, "C5" or "Z06".... the true enthusiast always knows

9 out of 10 times though im disappointed when i think to myself "just another C5"

100k to spend? well id probably get a run of the mill C5 leaving me with 50k. get 20 thousand dollars from mommy or my wifey (ill take it out of her salary), count up my 70k dollars, run over to Lingenfelter and get the 427 TT package.

What is so great about a 427 you may ask?

- Street legal
- 802 hp with 866 torque
- Stock looking Vette... Sleeper as hell
- 0-60 in 1.98 with a 1/4 of 8.97@156mph

Im not a fan of american technolgy.

How the gas mileage on that Lingenfelter vette? :o Nice daily driver that is.


SC m5 anyday for me. I'd even take the M3 over any vette/z06. I perfer comfort over performance since im sitting in traffic more than i am at the drag strip or road course.

theyre r34 based. so i assume after 99. not really too sure, theyre pretty exclusive cars. theyve got 2.5 inline 6s with the nissan TTs. theyre excellent drifting cars, given that theyre all wheel drive but you can still mess with the torque transfers. i think the cheaper RWD sedan is the 25GT.

NEVER call BS on a 16 year old with no life other than his GF and his passion for cars. youll never win. hahah. youre talking about the 427 Z06 which is naturally aspirated.

here is the TT

wait wait, yea thats WITH street tires. with drag radials you get the times i was talking about, but those HP and torque ratings are still fucked up. its 802 hp and 866 tq. and how can it be an "LS1, Z06"

the Z06 is LS6 based. always was.

are you kidding me?

yea you COULD. but then again you could also save up 150 bucks and go over to pep boys in the market for underbody neons and plastic spinning hubcaps and get just as much respect as you would with a maxima conversion
