Default My New Corvette C6 - Tastefully Modified

Hey guys,

Just picked up this 2007 Corvette C6 from a corvette forum member and thought I would share a few pictures after the detail. (Original FS Thread Here).

The previous owner had some very tasteful modifications that I have been thoroughly enjoying. I've also had the car tinted, professionally detailed by ScottWax and flushed every fluid in it by TrueStreet Motorsports here in Dallas.

I had it Dyno'd last Saturday, putting down 424 WHP. It was a very muggy, humid day but I'm happy with those numbers.


This car was also in this LS1Tech article from right before the previous owner sold it

Thanks gentlemen! And agree on the wide booty part. The stock C6 rear is definitely lacking but the wide booty really finishes out the car nicely.

I'm with you bud. I almost bought a front Z06 conversation last week but need to tell myself to slow down and save some monies. It's high up on my to do list, along with FAST intake

Awesome man I say do it - best decision I made! Not many cars will get you this performance, looks, reliability and daily drivability all for under $30k used.
