Default High rpm Corvettes: World Challenege Series

I have always liked the sound of the C6 Corvette, but this to me is what I would like a Corvette to sound like. Those high RPMs sound amazing!

I think everyone could always hear our W.C. Corvette coming down the straights.



What most don't know though, is that the car ran off the shelf LG 1 3/4 Super Pro's for a very very long time.

They were limited to a 7400 RPM limiter so it isn't as high as most thought it was, but we did run a Y pipe into a single side exhaust running out of the passenger side of the car which did play a big role into how the car sounded, and why it put out that high pitched scream down the straights.

to the OP I think Anthony and Louis could build you a WC if you like.

Now that WC engine, could be 30 Large by itself.

The cops don't like the sound of 7400 rpm on the chassis dyno at 2am

I'm sure the neighbors wouldn't either.

He heard it from the cop shop during a shift change. One would think someone was out on the highway having too much fun. He came flying in our parking lot. I was like .

Within two minutes he was holding on to a carbon fiber door thinking it was pretty trick. We made one more pull and were done anyways.

He was pretty cool overall.
