Went and picked up my new toy in Dallas today. Its a 99 Corvette M6, black with the targa top on 20 inch chrome rims in the back and 18s in the front. I actualy hate the rims and selling them as quick as possible for some Z06's. Its got a complety forged bottom end and a mild cam. Everything else is completley stock, even the exhaust. So i raced my buddies 98 GT with a 01 motor will full bolt-ons, exhaust and 4.10s. For first through second he hung withing3 cars of me than after i hit third i started pulling hard, the top end on the vette is insane. I think if i raced my cobra i could take it from a very high roll. Ill get some pics up tommorow

Now you and Quick_Shift02GT or whoever the other Vette traitor is can go hang out and be old cronies together thinking you're better than everyone else

How much slower than the GT does it feel? off the line i mean, im sure up high it feels comperable..EDIT: cobra

It feels so sloooooww of the line, the cobra would destroy it off the line, the gears are gd long. i think my buddy shifted twice before i even shifted into second. The first things i am doing is 4.10s and full exhaust

and a pulley swapped cobra is good for what, mid to low 12s?

im not familiar enough with the newer vettes to know what it takes to put an LS1 vette into the low 12s...but i would venture to say that it doesnt take more than a cam and some head work?

Lifting the valve covers is not neccessary, just some choice bolt-ons.

i know, but i was comparing mod costs. a pulley is cheaper than a cam

an 03 cobra with just a K&N filter and catback put down 425RWHP. at the end of the day though, the vette gets em wette
