Detailed a Twin Turbo C5R Z06! The owner of the cars is a member of this site. His user name is Stry.
I just got done cleaning up his vette. He is heading down to the LSX Shootout tommrow and will be running it there. I'm pretty sure they detuned it and it made 930rwhp today, but made over 1000rwhp at one point. I didnt go tooo crazy with it, but just cleaned it up. I put 2 coats of polish and 2 coats of wax on it tonight.
Here are the pictures!

The pictures do not do it justice though.. It looks much better in person. If you are heading down to the LSX shootout, you will not want to miss this car. Its running in the "true street" class or something like that. It will be in the New Era Performance booth/area too.

No. I never drove it, I'd be way too scared to.
I've been for a ride in it though. Stry (the owner) took it to the track for the first time over the summer after the build was completed, and its about a 50 mile trip each way. Shawn @ New Era (thats his user name on here) went with him on the ride up, and I went with Stry on the way back.
Just with regular driving, it put you back in your seat. The car is truely sick. I think it was getting like 10-12mpg average for the trip too including 5 half track passes (it was a 1/4 mile track, but he didnt have his roll cage in at the time, so he was only working on his launches and would hit the brakes at about the 1/8). On the way home, on the highway, he floored it at about 60, and it was insane.
Way off topic, but worthy of posting.
