Its rated at 430 hp so im guessing it puts down around 390 stock?
Lucky dog Id love to have a Vette. Especially a C6

Not bad at all.


His car makes the same power as mine though. Those MS4's are monsters up top.

First thing I noticed is the clutch catches, what feels to be an inch off the floor board lol. That is going to take some getting use to. The gears also feel closer together than the F bodies, which I didn't think was even possible.

The ride has a tighter feel than my Fire bird. You can also feel the weight difference. I wont miss the back seat. I hate cramming my friends back there.

Lastly, and most important. The car is really fast. Faster than I expected. It has the NPP exhaust like I said. Its pretty awesome. The car sounds stock until about 4 grand, then the baffles open up and it sounds mean. Its not loud by any means but I like it. I was happy to get one while im still in my 20's since I usually only see retired dudes around here driving them.

I was pumped when I found out this car came with the Z51 package. Now I can keep the stock NPP exhaust and do long tubes w/ cut outs.

Full bolt on's make 405-425rwhp here.

Screw all that. Put on a A+A blower setup and make 540-560rwhp while keeping stock drivability.

That sounds like a better idea than going cam only. My neighbors are starting to talk to me again.
