I will post some better pics of the car when the weather clears up and I get a chance to actually drive it some. Current condition is 525whp with plans for a healthy cam this winter and an upgraded 102 Fast Intake and 102 TB. Hoping to see close to 580whp with the car in it's current trim plus a cam.

Nice car.

That young boy already has the practiced look on his face he'll need when he gets older.

Ya know the one. . . ."Gee officer, is there a problem. . . ."

MS - best color! I'm really liking those stripes on the fenders, compliments the car very nicely and thinking about them for my MS Z, any idea where they came from and color?

Thanks.

Vince - How did your final numbers turn out? We need to hook up later this week if you're around. Would love to check her out.

Hard to say. It's pulling 3 degrees of timing because of the heat and IAT. 552/509 SAE in the current weather conditions.

I was right, though. Traction is going to be a big problem even before it cools down outside.

Still getting used to the clutch. Did a couple of dig runs at WOT through third (just myself on a closed course), and it pulls real strong. That's one thing nice about the hot asphalt. It's sticky and heats the tires very fast. But even with that, I can still break them loose in first and second. Invos are definitely maxed with this setup.

Are you on stock run flats? I hated mine. They would not hook worth a crap and were noisy as hell.

Do those stripes really stop halfway up the fender - and don't continue to/into the gap at the hood? Were the older GS Vettes striped in the same manner? If my tired eyes are seeing it correctly, it looks like those stripes are too short.

Owned the car for less than 24 hours....and now I need the roof recall done. I guess we drive faster in TX than they do in CA. Waiting for the dealership to get a new roof painted and ready to replace my now missing roof recall. Pretty amazing, had no idea what the hell that sound was until I got out and noticed that my silver roof was no longer attached.

OK - that's a cool shot!

Be sure to include him in the experience because he will look back upon it fondly when he is a lot older.
