Nice ride there Josh.

She's a pretty low key car too. Not to flashy. You're going to be blowing the doors off some unsuspecting people with that ride. Almost sleeper like.

What's up with the Vette?

Thank you. Low key except for the fact that it's unbelievably loud.;) You can hear it from a LONG way away.


Vette - $44,000 650hp Lingenfelter TT kit. Built bottom end. It says 650bhp, but it makes 640-650 on 6psi. On 9psi and race fuel it makes over 800. Build # 021. $11,000 for the HRE's and tires. He has over $85,000 invested in it. Doesn't even have a closed garage. More of a car port built into his house.:odd: It's all brick, like a garage, minus the huge door. Poor cars.:(
 
If you want to see the pics in their original size, just copy the adress of the picture, and add ".orig.jpg" at the end. Voila!

Looks pretty damned nice!

That is a shame. He/she should invest in a decent garage for such a nice car. Jeesh, he spent the big bucks for rims, the least he could do is buy a garage to house it. :D

Thanks, I didn't know that.👍


And thanks.;)
 
Very awesome. I always thought they looked better without spoilers so keep the look. :lol: I'm sure it was a good buy whatever price you got it at, considering as far as I know, even new it's considered the second best bang-for-the-buck sports car there is.

It's time for you to head over the www.gmvsford.com if they get their site back up soon! :irked: :mad:
 
Give wildlife a chance.

I liked the old Tahoe Z71 a lot more than I like the new one.

Once again, thanks for the compliments everyone.

More pictures to come tomorrow. I took a few today during its oil change, and a few after my Dad and I took her for a quick run down 17.
 
Your Cobra looks great, Josh, but I don't like those rims. Something about them, they don't match with the body well.

I like them better than regular Cobra wheels.:confused:

It turns out the other wheels that came with the car aren't stock '03 wheels, they're AFS '03 Cobra wheels in 18x9 and 18x10.5.👍 Apparently he(guy I bought it from) wanted to put 295's out back.

Meh. I already thought about that. I'll probably just end up selling them, and sticking with the 275's.

And, yes, that's rain.:( I made the mistake of driving it to work tonight when there was only like a 20% chance of PRECIPITATION! Pffft. It ****ing poured like there was no tomorrow.:rolleyes: I don't know which was worse - driving a 500hp rwd car in the rain, or the fact that my baby was getting rained on.:(

You better stay out of the gas if you're gonna use 275's. With the kind of power you're puttin down you really do need those 295's. Wider if they fit.

Deep dish wheels Josh. Deep dish wheels.

I know. Tonight I took two kids(actually 24/25 years old, but whatever) for a ride, and she got sideways at 65-70. Impressive, but somewhat scary. I haven't powershifted any gears yet, but I can imagine there'd be some nice loss of traction going from 2 to 3rd, and from 3rd to 4th.:nervous:

Those are 335's on an 11 inch wheel. So I could probably squeeze some 315's or something on a 10 incher.

I want the same wheels he has. CCW's. I think they look awesome, and they have a decent lip.
