Here are some recent ones. I'm thinking of painting the LS6 intake cyber grey or else dipping it in carbon-fiber.
another cool shot from cali generalz meet...
Got a 3.5 inch QTP cut-out to by pass my exhaust at the touch of a button. Should free up some extra ponies for the track as well.

I hear that a lot.
No, it was an inside joke on thirdgen.org lol. I got into the SBC v. LSx debate and some old dude said he had a 600rwhp sbc in his 80's corvette with off the shelf bolt-ons. So I was sarcastic when I said I was going to replicate his set-up
Thanks. A lot easier to keep clean.

Really nice job dude! That is one of the nicest exhaust setups I've seen. Especially how tight the dual tips are to the body, looks awesome. Really nice job, can't wait to start mine

love your car man, the color is sick!! You should reclear those corvette covers bro. Just my opinion tho. looks great tho.
by any chance have you thought of painting your bowtie grill same blue? and making sick emblem for the rear bumper with that blue also?

Thanks guys!
I've had the exhaust tips aligned at least 4-5 different times, I ended up going with adjustable clamps because I can't stand crooked tips.
I was in disbelief when he said he went 9's and drove it to pick up his kids at school... oh and this was in the 80's lmao 
Whats up man, that yellow WS6 is sexy as hell!!!
yeah, when I did the FRC i had just bought the spray gun kit and was getting use to laying down paint. They need another layer of base and 2 of clear.
The bowtie would look sick in the zr1 blue, haven't had a chance to do it though. That'll be one of the summer projects. The back bumper as well, i was going to get a custom emblem like the ZR1 replicas I have on the side when they were on sale but I was too late on the sale.

You're making me fall in love with 3rd gens all over again lol. I kind of want one again.
and i saw what you said about the TPI cult on TGO. They are pretty brutal and definitely purists, where anything other than stock is bastardizing. (Though IIRC they don't mind cam swaps and such). One of the few reasons why i don't hang around there much anymore.
anyways very clean car, i love it.

It was sexy lol have u seen the pics of it on the thread? It got pretty fucked up!! Lol and just scotchbrite them and lay down another coat of paint and throw down 3 coats off clear should look sick!!!
And honestly what i wanted to do in my third gen front grill was to fill in the bowtie and paint it.. that way it wasn't just the outline..would look cool i think lol so did your bro finish fixing your car? He said u broke some stuff lol.
You should put a hybrid emblem on the rear to **** with people lol but would look sick with that emblem.

At least it'll find a nice new home in your 3rd gen.
I broke the firewall(clutch master cylinder) when I hit low 12's granny shifting @ Fontana. Should have gone 11's
Got it running then broke the torque arm
Then I tried to paint a hood and I'm guessing I ran too much pressure because it wouldn't lay the paint down the same
What PSI do you use?
