Default Project Wife's Car II" makes it debut at NPR!!

Well Jessica and I went NPR last with her new Corvette. It a 2001 Quick Silver Corvette Coupe A4. Car was in 100% stock form w/ about 3/4 of a tank of gas. Best pass of the night was a 13.13 @ 105.44 w/ a 1.95 60'. It was a little traction limited by barely turning them over for about the first 40 feet or so. I haven't looked at many stock C5 track times but that doesn't seem to shabby to me.

Now time for the modding to begin. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Planned mods are another set of front 17" wheels w/ BFG drag radials (for the rear <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> ), VaraRam intake system, FLP long tube headers, and a Corsa Touring Catback. To start with anyway. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Paul, you gotta quit letting the wife make the mods decisions. Or is that the other way around? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Back or front--which is it. OH well, I will try the back. Good luck with the new car. I know that the times will be falling. Kent. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
