Got my *** handed to me by this blown/cammed c7 on the way home from some friendly runs with some friends leaving cars and coffee.

The c7 made me temporarily deaf and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Where dat v-dee-O at home skillet?

Atta boy!

Gotta keep them warranty folkes happy....

Thats a sweet vette. Minus the gay hash marks. Been marinating the idea of switching over to that. My dirty mexican ratchet is all about the c7 vettes.

We shall see what develops...

I'm not a fan of the hash marks either. In fact, I won't buy a c6 GS that has one. I know they are nostalgic, but I find them ricer and ugly.

No video. Left Chinese knockoff gopro at home as I wasn't expecting any runs today.

Wasn't much of a race, happened last second in the moment, was a quick run as traffic was so bad I had to switch lanes to even keep the run going much past a couple seconds, and to be quite frank I'm ok with not reminding myself of the gappage that was had on myself in that short amount of time.

You need a cammed c7 if considering that route. It sounded like absolute sex. It was so brash and I loved it.

It had me researching them on all of the automotive classifieds when I got home.

C6 is LBO. But does have driver mod like a ************. He is a much better driver than me.
That sounds right. Good job man and good video. Keep them coming.

I honestly hope you get a c7 after you sell the gt100 for a house. Much easier to get a car loan after a home loan.

That experience had me considering c7s more in all honestly. They are so much more comfortable than all of the corvettes before them too.

Dollar General is actually overpriced for the quantity on many small everyday items. You mean the Dollar Tree where you walk in and it smells like poverty?

It is definitely a great platform to start with. I would just recommend you find some drag radials for your street tires. They can be quite the handful from a low roll with the stockers.

Not another mullet!

Nice vid

I was really impressed with a stock ls2 manual vette at 131 a few weeks back at my track. Well it did have a cat back. So I guess not totally stock. Guy could drive. Was running 12.4@115-116 all night with 1.9 60ft. Cut a fast light every time. Little faster than I expected honestly given the DA was 2400. Thought it was an ls3 before I looked it over and talked to him. Guy was misinformed though. Had no plan for headers or any bolt ons as someone had convinced him they did nothing lol

12.2@115 is the fastest a stock Ls2 c6 has been, so that guy is running very hard for whatever minimal mods he has for sure

Ls2 cars run good. A buddy bought one last summer and i was pleasantly surprised at how it ran.

Unless he was hiding a tune the car was totally stock besides the cat back. Seen it with the hood open and talked to him for about 20 minutes while waiting for our lanes to run.

Perhaps he bought it that way too. I will say the stock ls2/ls3s benefit a lot from just a tune. Lots of TM.

Either way, strong running car for minimal mods and good 60's for what I'm presuming are run flats

Add a good intake manifold and cam(it has the 01 Z06 cam) and the LS2 along with a tune really comes alive

As expected. Put some gear in it with a decent tire and it would be rape from start to finish. Should keep the shelbro. With the type of racing you like to do it would lay waste to most cars with minimum mods.

If I keep the hundo, it will get some very very light mods and a great tune hopefully.

I dont get to crazy mod wise / power wise. I just have fun racing in my "bracket".
