[QUOTE=MTPZ06;1575503824]Judging by the flared fenders, you're running widened rear stock rims??[

I dont think those fender flares look right.The tires are to big.So are the flares.It kind of reminds me of like a? Reckneck old school z28 or something with like mud flap tires on the back...Or a funny car with those marshmallow wheels on it..... rockn out banging a maullet!! late

This is a good thread for cheap intertainment. Hey and I use to own a few of those redneck cars back in the day . Never had a mullet though, very important for me to point that out. Some of you are to serious on here. Hey its the internet man or should I say Bro.

I dent thunk ure anglush luuks rite eever.

That would be mullet, and the "too big" 335/30/18's out back and 305/30/18's in front are needed to tame the close to 600rwhp the car puts down.

MPTZ06, on the street I run 12"x18" House of Wheels reproduciton rear wheels and stock C5 Z06 10.5"x18" in front. On the road course I run stock C5 Z05 rears in the front and CCW Classic 12"x18"'s out back.

josh, this is what the car looks like, sounds like and goes like - so if thats redneck Z28 I guess I love me some Redneck Z28.







BTW, for what its worth, some of us that have been around and weekend tinkering with minimal budgets on the C5 Z06 for near on a decade now are just trying to offer you a little different perspective and advice.

My first bit of advice (which is free so take if at face value) is try communicate in english, it sort of elevates the exchange above gutter-trash to semi-human and solicits better information, second bit is don't slam your car on the stock suspension and miss out on learning to use/drive/enjoy its full potential before saving up and then switching to some bargain (under $2000) coil over shocks that will give you best of all worlds.

I just watched your track video above . That track has a lot of turn and not many straight aways. Looks like a good time. . Softer tires and coil overs are my next upgrade. Nice set up you have.

I just had to watch your video again.The pictures you had up top doesn't really match up to the video.Plus you had the spoiler on and could see the hood.Did you build your bottom end?(have it forged). Are you getting those kind of hp's with just a cam.I would like to say.I would like to know were you got your hood,what cam your running,were you got your spoiler. Your video sets that car off!! I gotta say sorry man.Looks like you were having fun in the video!

no one is bashing you.

it is just that this has all been covered many times and if you used search you would have been rewarded.

seems like you like to post just to post seeing as you have three posts in a row and a bit off topic for this thread anyway.

The power comes from a forged LS7 427ci. The car is the last Z07 that MTI Houston built.

The hood is a carbon fibre heat extractor hood from ACP. Front splitter is also fom ACP, wing is fom APR.

I have been known the run the car with and without the large ricer wing.

did not say to not talk about your 'new' car just start a new thread when it goes so far off topic.

the search suggestion is for new and old forum members and saves a lot of time for most.

So basically this thread can be summed up as:

"Only old white men are permitted to own corvettes, so if we think you are something other than that, we will point it out with racial slurs and ageist comments"

"import scene" is just a word for young and/or non-white car enthusiasts. Using mocking 'hood slang' is just mocking hip-hop culture i.e. urban culture i.e. black culture (perfectly fine in united states, where racism is normal and accepted)

Ban me. I'm bored with this board. I prefer my C63 anyway.

Honestly, this is the only thing I don't like about driving a corvette.. is the old-white-guy culture.

Forget giving "Corvette Owners" a bad name, the OP gives all semi-literate and semi-educated Americans a bad name... yo bro... if this nitwit's driving and car handling skillz are anything close to his speaking and communications skillz then God help us all.

BTW, his ultra rare C06 should remain bone stock for collectors value


Party on yo...
I really hope you aren't above age 25. If you are, GROW UP.

And he is over it (yet you aren't) and we have all moved on... and are on our way to forging forum "friendships" and comraderies - I really hope you aren't above age 25(sic). If you are, GROW UP.
