Default 2008 Z51 LS3 White Knight version 4.0

Here's a few shots of my new ride. Hopefully it will be as good as my C5!

I used the photo bucket thing on this forums and I guess they have to be approved by the moderator first. If that doesn't work, I'll try something else.

Hmm, Chris, that doesn't look like a T1 car. It's *shiny*, with fancy wheels, and (beginning to stammer), and..., and......,




AN INTERIOR!!!!

Have fun with it!

......damn Chris.....you know that is way too pretty for you.
Just go ahead and give it to Michelle, and get yourself a SM where you can on it all day long and not care. Besides.....she'll look a whole lot better in that car then you will!!
Is Phil going to get him a shiny new yellow one?????

Best of luck this year....hope to see you in Sebring in January.

Congrats!

Now that the LS3 is in T1 with more stock hp/tq than the LS6, did the SCCA make any provisions so the guys with the LS6's can still be competitive? Or.. Is this a big reason why you sold the Z06 to get the '08 Coupe?

Chris now don't show ppl over in the C6 General how you car will be gutted, caged and put back together. Don't want to give those folks a heart attack.

Let me know if you need a hand with anything. I have a feeling you will go to Phoenix for your original setup, but I'll have my alignment and setup equipment setup at the new house in January I hope.

btw, there is a great tuner in Moorseville. Don't know if he's doing 08's yet, but it's nice to have some local do it. He spent a TON of time doing our Z06, even though I just wanted a modest setup.

Have fun dealing with the TPS's, keyless everything, torque management etc. Takes a bit more work to get the C6's to "cooperate" at the track!

HAHHA, I once put something about tubbing a car over there. I had one guy agree and the rest wanted to hang me. I even got a nasty phone call about cutting up a Corvette and how I should never do it again. Don't tell anybody to deface the value of a car or suggest it ever again. I told him right before I hung up the phone, "it's just a mass produced chevy".

Do it!

Cutting up a new Corvette is no big deal IMO. They make a ton of them. What pisses me of is when someone like Boyd Coddington cuts up a low number survivor that is in great shape to make a hot rod because he has a tight deadline or is too lazy or cheap to start with something that needs more repair.

It'll go up to Joe in about 2 weeks. I'm actually driving it up there...and flying back home. Hopefully he'll send me the progress pics and I'll be happy to post them.

Yeah Bob, I'm hoping to have everything ready by Sebring...i hope.
