Default 08 z51 M6 A&A T-trim, LS9 cam, headers...

Ok, putting this for sale to just get rid of it. I love it and I have put so much time into it but I am starting to resent it. I put pretty much into it as I paid for my bike and I am semifrustrated that my bike (with the 9,000 rpm rev limiter still on it) is so much faster. I understand the whole, "Bikes will always be faster" argument but still. I am going to be moving soon and I just see trying to move everything in my house plus my 3 vehicles is going to be hard. If everything goes my way I won't be driving it much over the next 2 years. Here is a quick description of it!

2008 Victory red Z51 2LT coupe.
29,3XX miles
No accidents
Body color top only
I am the second owner; purchased it in March, 2011, with 13,000 miles on it and zero mods.

2011 mods:
Kooks coated 1 7/8 long tubes
Kooks catted x-pipe
Corsa Sport rear section exhaust
Vararam SC-1 CAI
Dyno tuned at 412/425

It was garaged in the winter and was put in storage June, 2012 until February, 2013. While in storage it was started weekly.

March, 2013 I took it out of storage and put the following on:
A&A T-Trim LS3 supercharger kit complete with injectors
McLeod RST twin disk clutch and steel flywheel broken in properly.
LS9 cam and springs, hardened pushrods
Aeromotive A1000 stealth fuel system by house of boost in KC, all of the fuel lines are Teflon coated and have the black nomex braiding on them and are brand new. Also has Aeromotive red fuel rails.
CCW C140 wheels with 295/35/18 Nitto Invos up front and 305/30/19 MT Street ET IIs in the back. The Invos have about 4K on them but still look new, the rears have about 2,000 miles on them and have never been smoked (only a 5 hard launches).
Hawks Ceramic pads front and rear.

Those mods have about 2,000 miles on them. I have a cobalt boost gauge and SLP single gauge pod that are not installed yet.

Ok, got my car back on Friday (August 9) after the 3.6 inch pulley install and tune. New numbers are 635/544. Price is still the same, $35,000.

To the folks who asked for pictures, I apologize. I washed and detailed the car today but didn't quite finish. I just didn't have time. I leave tomorrow morning (July 1) to florida on my way to the Bahamas. I will have pictures up on the 15th. I'm sorry! Have a safe and fun Independence Day holiday!

just wondering why you would put so many goodies on the car then decide to turn around and sell it - seems a bit counter-intuitive.

Hey guys! Sorry about the pictures. I had to get back to work sooner than I was supposed to after vacation and don't have time to take pictures after work. This weekend I will have some up. For the guys who tried PM'ing me, I can't figure out how to delete messages from my phone and I can't log onto the forum from my work computer and blah blah blah. I'll get the pics up this weekend!

I am selling it because after I bought and put everything on it just didn't have the feel or thrill I was expecting. It is still very very fast but just not how I was expecting. A buddy bought a new mustang and spent about half what I did in mods and his car feels scary fast! I know it is all gearing and such but still. If I don't get what I want out of it I'll keep it and it won't hurt my feelings; I will just have to make it faster.

I tried adding pics but it isn't the same as it used to be. Hopefully one of those two links helps out.

it is not loud really. I think it is perfect. I have driven it from Kansas to Florida and the noince didn't get to me at all. I haven't used it as a daily driver since about October, 2011. I never had any issues.. The clutch feel very very close to stock and isn't hard to drive with.

Also, I don't know why photobucket sucks and won't let me view my pictures.

Can someone try the link and let me know it it is working? Photo bucket doesn't give me the option for a direct link and I do not know why.
