Default Vids of the Vette ;)

Took some vids of the car

Only mods are a Stinger CAI and no mufflers...However, it DID come with the LS6 intake and 241 head castings standard..maybe that's why it runs its ****** *** off. Sorry for the crappy in-car vids.. .hard to drive, shift, and hold a camera

New additions are gonna be 4.10s, Spec Stage III clutch, F-13 112 LSA cam package, LG Motorsports LT headers and X-pipe, and dyno tune at FMS...maybe that'll wake it up

Very cool vids! I have a question for you, did you just replace the mufflers with a piece of pipe? Is the rest of the exhaust still original? My dad is looking to do this on his C5 ('04) but I haven't found anyone who has doe this with an otherwise stock car. Sounds good!

Mind if I ask how much it cost you to have that done (minus the chrome tips)? I think my dad really liked this idea, thanks!

Notice how the women folk are never impressed with gaudy demonstrations of raw horsepower. Very cool vette- sounds great. Try not to make the neighboors too nervous on their little residential street. I was thinking about trading my Z28 in on a C5. It sure is tempting. But I love my Z... maybe one day.

Cutting off mufflers and welding pipe? $100 at the most... that's how much it costed me, but I saw $$$$ in the guy's eyes when I pulled up in a C5

Tips were $85 a piece

Nice vids. I liked the last one. You gotta love women who dont fully understand our passion, but accept it anyway, b/c they love us, and are willing to videotape us. I like how the girl was so nonchalant when your mom said, "he could've ran into you!" She goes, "yeah, I know........" Cool girl. Car sounds really good. Nice job. Dont worry about the nay-sayers. Just dont go nuts on that small street.....go forbid you hit some kid, or something!
