Default It's time....I'm coming BACK bitches.....

The bikes are sold, i'm done racing bikes. Was a lot of fun, and *knock on wood* i've never been down but it's time to go back to my roots. LOTS better off financially, no more debt and plenty of money coming in. Good time to get back into the hobby.

Havent decided wether I wanna plunk down a bunch of money on a C5 and/or Z06, or just buy a nicely well kept SS again and build a nice lil street car. Either, I will be back. And plan on breaking/setting some more records for you 346 bitches to chase around for a while....(speaking of that, anybody else top my #'s yet with 5.3 heads, LS6 intake and 230/232 cam??? )

-Stay tuned...

Glad to see you back in the game. If I had to start over again I'd go with C5 for sure. F-bodies are nice, but I've done so much to my Firehawk to wanna start over again. You might as well track down an '02 Zo6 for the right price...

Just got my Incon TT dialed in last night using a wideband/hptuners (Thanks Mike) That car is friggin insane right now. It's the meanest car I've ever driven. I'm still using the 236/236 cam with the twins.

I'll hit the dyno this week or next to tell you what it makes. it did 421 rwhp N/A a couple months back.

Those are Georgia #'s. Not below sea-level 50/50 nitrous combo in the air like Texas.


Josh I bet your car is insane. I rode in Jerry's heavy vert and that thing scared the living **** out of me. If yours is any lighter and makes anywhere near the same power it's going to be F'in nasty. You MUST bring it by the shop one day when you get it dialed in, I work with a bunch of Ford dumbass's who dont know any better

^^ Jerry's running some serious boost, I'm not. Mine had 421 rwhp with the same cam N/A; I'd expect a solid 130+ extra rwhp out of the twins as is.

I think Jerry is around 800 currently.


My car has the ac removed and some other stuff to compensate for the turbo weight. I'll bring it by sometime. I'm sure I'll be driving the car much more now.

The question is... what do you want to buy?

I originally was going to buy a used Viper, like a 98-99 GTS. But i'm about to start buying/fixing houses so I need to save some capitol for now.

My choices - 01-02 SS, 01-02 Z06, or 99 FRC (if I could find one).

I'll take either one I see first that I like.

Why not both??

Nice C5 for cruising & getting ***, and then an f-body on the side to make your track *****.

You can have nice C5's for $15k-$20k and get you an f-body for under $10k!

I dont need two money pits, one is enough . Although that scenario without money as an object would be fantastic..

I like my 03 Z06, I wish I would have saved all of that $ I put in my F-body and just bought one of these in the first place! 12.05 @ 114.5 bone stock is an excellent starting point for any weekend car.

Cheers.

i've got a .230/.230 and 5.3 heads, but i've still got my LS1 intake on - it made 417/393. i have a weiand intake waiting for install, we'll see how the numbers change when it goes on.

why not find a firehawk or Ws6?? they look 10 times better than any LS1 camaro ever could...
