Your car is perfection in my book 
!!!
I'd give my car and my right nut, no make that my left nut (it hangs too damn low anyways) for your car
I love that color (Whistler painted my old 1994 Z that color):
and you just made a bad *** Z06 even MORE BAD *** with that hood

It would look even better if you could get some type of lip spoiler on the rear, kind of like the Dick Harrell Camaro ones, but not as big....just a thought

Thanks for the compliments everybody!!
The trophy was for best in class for the show. The class wasn't all that competitive though. There were 2 different C5 pace cars and then a few C3's and C4's in it. I was still kinda surprised we won, since the stock wheels are all curbed up, plus we spent about 25 minutes detailling the car since we woke up at 11:20
Definitely no spoiler for the rear, I've NEVER seen a spoiler I liked on a Corvette. They're just not built for one IMO.
I haven't bought wheels yet because I'm still on the fence about them. I've narrowed it down to Fikse FM5's or FM10's, IForged Aero's, CCW 505a's... or more likely C6 Z06's (4 options there too.. hyperblack, chrome, motorsports and competition gray ). There are things I'd much rather spend $4k on than wheels.
I can't lower in right now because the driveway from my garage comes out of an alley and I'm damn close to dragging as it is. Sucks too, cuz I'd love to lower it.
They're posted elsewhere 
No dyno numbers yet. It's 100% stock other than the blower (KB 2.6L at 7#). Identical setups have put down 480ish rwhp in C5's and 500-510ish in Z06's, so I'm expecting somewhere in the 500rwhp range. I'm not going to dyno it until we get some things reinforced and probably also get at least the headers on there.
