Default Went with a new form of forced induction

It came with a new everything else too.

2014 ZL1 with a manual trans. Only option was the carbon center piece on the hood. No more C6. It's quick, but it's no 750rwhp Vette.

Nice car. I think the black will be even hotter inside the cabin now. Do you plan on wrapping it also? Enjoy the new ride.

Went from ghetto vented hood to OEM vented hood. Most expensive vented hood upgrade ever.

I think this is a great choice. Having something OEM to beat on daily in the heat. Modded vettes are great but I couldn't imagine one as an only car out here.

If I wouldn't lose my *** on my car I would consider doing the same (not a zl1 thought, gt500, boss302, etc).

If I thought for a second I would be happy with the HP and not start modding again the C7s are looking real good now that I've had a look at a few in person.

I don't think it makes much difference when it's 110F+ outside. Yes, it's going to be Avery matte purple metallic.

Just do it. It's only money and you can't take it with you.

I'm waiting on the C7 Z06 to be out for a couple of years first. Then I'll get one.

Rotofab will be here on Tuesday. BMR 1" lowering springs also. After that I'm going to put an x-pipe in. Also a bigger reservoir for the heat exhanger as well as the bigger heat exchanger pump Lingenfelter sells.

Also thinking about doing JBA catless mids since I have HP Tuners and can monitor the codes it throws.

That's called a CTS-V.

They are fun cars, they just feel heavy vs my Vette.

We have a fully custom 2010 2Ss/Rs with over 500hp NA and 100% DSV leather interior

Nice car! I just wish they were lighter, a lot lighter. I would be scared to own one and a '13+ GT500 comes next to me. I would even pray that it's not moded, they are beasts! That's why I joined the corvette club. I'm a mustang guy at heart, but they are getting heavier and expensive! The base '15 mustang gt will start at $32k+.

I was looking at GT500's too. I just liked the ZL1 better.
