Welcome to the forum

And before you ask, yes a CIA and Tune will wake up an S197Mustang[8D]

 

+1 What are you guys doing to those C6's

 

My uncle has that midnight blue color C6 with the glass panoramic roof. I love it. Him and I go for a drive together through Pennsylvania every now and then. We will probably be going in a week or so for another. We live in New York so we don't really get to drive the cars much the way they should be. But everyone stops us and admires our cars. He's got a good amount of speed on me LOL but he is bone stock as he doesn't care too much for the after market. My exhaust is louder though. Borla Stingers sound great and soon my prochamber or catted x pipe will make them sound better. Welcome to the Board

 

welcome aboard. I love the c6s myself. I ran against one this weekend that had a procharger running 8psiand a 2800 stall. it was quick, but just not quite quick enough. hewas running 11.60s and I was running 11.30s, but the tables turned in the final eliminations, we were both off our dial by a tenth, and he had a better reaction time by .0014 of a second. talk about a close race

 

Come, come from the dark side, young Luke! Just kidding guy - welcome!

 

Thanks for all the replies Gang ... A couple folks have asked about the common mods and discussion topics we have going on over at CORVETTEFORUM.COM (which is where I hang) .... I JUST did LG Longtube Headers with a ram air intake and a tune ... stock CAT BACK (muffflers ... ) ... picked up about 40 BHP over stock - quite a diff in Seat of the pants ... this is a real common lite duty mod set C6 folks are doing ... of course plenty of those that are doing what some of you Stang guys are - cams, heads, Superchargers, etc .... the hot new topic on Corvetteforum is the new LS3 ... this thing has come out of the factory much more wicked and tunable than many have thought ... there are folks already hitting 500 hp with that motor and some fairly simple mods ... I am happy with my 05 really although one can always use more power ...

Last year in Feb I went to Spring Mountain Driving school in Las Vegas for a 3 day HP driving course. I am now high speed certified ... I have done a few HPDE / track days at BIR here in MN ... I didn't this year because of A). My demanding job and B) the wear and tear on my machine (tires about shot after 15K but I flog it hard ....

I like to hang out on the back roads of Western Wisconsin near Lake Pepin ... GREAT hi perf driving in those areas ...

I imagine some of you look at us C6 guys the way some of us look at the Porsche gang ... a little uppity ... actually, most of my C6 pals are not like that - we are CAR GUYS and the CARS we happen to have are VETTES ... but me and my gang like em all ... if it is a cool ride then we like them .... I can certainly afford a pricier ride than what I have but I happen to like the regular C6 ( although I lust still for a Z06 but no removable roof keeps me away). I like GT3s a lot too but I am a bigger guy and the C6 is nice and accomodating and comfy for me ...

Enjoying reading what some of you all are doing to your RUSTANGS (oops ... did I say that ?? ) .... ;-)
