Npp is just their optional exhaust. They used ti rate the car different or they did the vette anyway. Now it seems it make no more power tgan the regular exhaust it's just louder at wot.

It's the small details that count. Although I may give me street tires/wheels a try sometime since we are not that far from each other.



Is Mappin Fappin to da' Blue?



V8 has more mods than me Hio... so his car should be faster than mine. It stands to reason that the Camaro guy was telling the truth on his mods.

Also... NPP exhaust is kind of like my catback... a sound mod... no appreciable or worthy power from it.



Thanks man! They were fun. I am sure we are going to try to get together for more runs sometime. Would like to get them both to the 1/4 mile track and make some runs too before I do my next round of mods.

No....npp exhaust is stock. That means it's not like aftermarket exhaust.

Guessing they made hyper an extra cost color this year because it sold so well. The other blue available this year looks decent but not for me. Hyper is much better. I'll go with white, red or blue. Black is probably my favorite but too much work. Not doing it again.

1st Gear (mph): 45mph

2nd Gear (mph): 80mph

3rd Gear (mph): 123mph

4th Gear (mph): 163mph

5th Gear (mph): 217mph NOT!

6th Gear (mph): 270mph


So it looks like I would go into 4th gear around 125mph. Mine falls to about 5200rpm on the shifts, so it would be in the meat of the curve. Would be interesting to try some runs to 140-150 though.

Only reason i would ever change is for Performance.
