Dad's New 08' Convertible My dad picked up his new vette from the Corvette Museum on Wednesday. He said that was a great experience. I took it for a ride yesterday and it sure is nice. He got the crystal red color, which looks so similar to his 02' with the mag red.
The car goes in Tuesday for a set of LG longtubes, intake and tune. He sure didn't wait long to start modding. Kinda hard not to with me prompting him. I'll be posting Mustang dyno numbers next week. All we've seen so far are dynojet numbers.
Here's a few pics.

Very nice!!!!
I have heard that going to the plant and museum is a great time and fun experience. Definitely post up the dyno numbers. Did your dad get the upgraded exhaust?

Are we talking about the NPP option code ?? At any rate Dennis, your Dad would do just fine with another cat back system and it will probably cost less then GM's.
At any rate thanks for sending me those pics the other day. Pops car looks cool. He's going to look pimp rolling around the suburbs in his 08 Vert.
Any guesses as to what she's going to dyno before the mods then after ??
How many miles ??
I'll guess she makes with a tune, headers, and K&N 408 rwhp 397 rwtq. I hope thats not low balling, she is an auto correct ??

How about that Dennis ?? You'll be rolling along and all of a sudden your dad floors it and you try to catch up but what you don't know is that he's spraying a 200 shot and running with it. LOL. I wouldn't advise spraying it, but it is nice to imagine.
Revising my guess on dyno, forgot it was Kirk's shop with a MUSTANG
Hmm 375/368 Not sure, just guessing. And thanks for providing some before and after mods dyno numbers (coming soon) from a MUSTANG DYNO.

I can't wait to take it to the track. The headers and intake will be on before that.
