lmao thats typical vette talk. My buddy back when he had a C5 made an exhaust for it. He actually used Cherry bombs. Like actual cherry bombs, just to prove a point. So he made all the tubing, made an x pipe etc etc. He caught so much **** from vette guys about how he was ruining a car and he needs to buy a 2k exhaustm how its an american icon, yada yada. He then posts a video of the final result. One of the best sounding exhausts ive heard on a vette, and it costs him 200 bucks to make, and with cherry bombs at that. Needless to say, everyone shut there mouth.

Like I said very basic weight reduction...rims, suspension..exhaust.
I can drop down to 3600 with driver fairly easy I'm sure. We will see what I will do when the track opens. I'm about to get a nice raise and have been considering turning the 5th gen into a full drag car to try to hit 8s and then buy myself a cts-v or a vette for street fun and keep the ram as my daily.

I'm going to buy up the US Militaries special metals, since they're going to be broke (lolo) and make my car out of lightweight diamond-skin metal. 200lbs car stronger than a tank.

9.5 inch converter (drops around 25-30lbs over a stock 12 incher), 1 piece aluminium driveshaft. Lightened ring and pinion (gearing pending goals), lighter axles. Thats a solid 75-100lbs... all in the drivetrain. Any weight you pull before the pinion gains you quite a bit.

Only thing there I don't have is a converter and the driveshaft.
What type of stall do you guys think would be good to keep the car streetable? I'm having a lot of problems right now, the car is drowning itself when I stop at lights and stuff lol. Keeps turning off and wanting to die because rpms dip to like 200 then back up to 800ish.
