Wink My Next Project



2005 Corvette C6 Z51 6-spd

MTI 402 Stroker w/175 TNT kit

Spec 3 Clutch

Kooks 1 7/8 with offroad X-pipe equipped with Corsa Muffler's. (No more dumps to friggin loud)

Built 3.42 Rear-End

Custom MTI DevilRay wheels (19x11 19x10)

Lowered 2in

Z06 "rear" Spoiler

Wider Fender Flares in the back from Caravaggio

5% Limo Tint




My car is pending right now with a buyer. So wish me luck, and this will be my next step in the corvette world. I am either going to try to find a used Black C6 Z51 or get a good deal on a new Black C6 Z51 they are going like 4-5k off MSRP right now new.




*Hope you dont mind Tony me tweaking your ride a little, couldnt find a side picture of a Black C6 for the life of me.



Cheers
G
