Default 2007 C6 Vert

Well my Dad got his vette back the other day from ECS. He had them put their Paxton kit on it with Meth.....the car put down 551/500. I was pretty impressed. Just thought I'd let everyone know. Maybe some vette owners that want some power will consider this kit.....Here are some pics...

I am sure that car feels great on the street, but arent those numbers a littls low for a supercharger? Dont get me wrong, about 90whp aint bad but there is deff some room to grow if he wants more in the future, which he prob will

Do you get to drive it at all?

What are you basing a 90whp jump from? 551-90? The car didn't baseline 460....it's well over a 100whp increase...and I only got to drive it once so far....I didn't even bring it into full boost and she pull hard as hell....

Haha I think he was thinking of a C6 Z06. Most stock C6's put down 350-380 rwhp depending on LS2/LS3. Figure thats about a 170-200 rwhp jump, not too shabby!

Yea...it's an LS2...nothing that sepcial about it stock...but when it comes to the Paxton...now those are some impressive numbers...he's thinking about putting a ECS's blower cam in it like he has in his GTO....he just likes buying **** for his cars...and when I say cars...I mean cars....he's got a 02 Vette A4 H/C(447/410), 05 GTO M6 Maggy Meth Cam (489/550), and an 06 GTO M6 w/ bolt ons....

Good choice. ECS's kits, brackets, etc. put ProCharger and Vortech's stuff to shame. I'm running an ECS ProCharger bracket.

It's too bad ECS doesn't make custom kits for the f-body guys.

Yes I was. Thanks for clearing that up. I was trying to say in a nice way that a blown 427 should be making a little more than 550whp but for an LS2 thats great!

Again that thing must be fun

They don't even like working on F-Body car anymore...let alone make a kit for one...I'm lucky that they said they'd do the work on my car...lol
