    2012 - 11k miles - 6spd - Black Raven - Black Interior - Recaro Package - Black wheels - Yellow Calipers



    After the drive home from Jersey:



    The Previous DD Is for sale. PM for details or see my Classified Ad

    Plans for the car include a Modified intake, 160 stat, K&N, pulley & tune. This should be good for anywhere from 620-640hp. If i sell my Turbo hayabusa this year It is probably gonna get a Lingenfelter 700hp+ Pack, Livernois S2 HC Pack, or a Vengeance Racing Stage 4/5.

    I'd stay tuned. as soon as the roads clear there will be plenty of pics and video.

    I think the calipers would look better as bronze or gold. Gnarly car - 600+hp seems more than enough.

    I'd drive it, but no black wheels as they look small.

    And a 160 thermostat sounds overkill, you arent hot rodding the thing all the time. Do they make a 180º?

    Should be a cool car to have fun with.

    Awesome ride. My pops almost bought one with 6k or so from the local dealer but wanted to think it over for a few days. For the price I told him it wouldn't be there sure enough it sold a few days later and he's still kicking himself for not pulling the trigger but, can't blame him for wanting to think it's over since he says this is the last car he's buying.

    To get into a new C7 was about 55k. I love the looks but would need to find a 2014 as that was the only year for that dark green color and that was HER choice.

    This was 41995 - so i think i did ok on the deal. This one was MY call. told her by the end of the year i'd be in a V coupe regardless of job or home. she resisted but caved in the end. not like she had a choice anyways.

    Thats the spirit. Haven't been in the new c7 but my brother works at a chevy dealer and he said the interiors are amazing. As is every aspect of the car.

    556/551 factory. replace the intake pipe, filter, cut the airbox and tune it and there's another 40-50 alone without touching the pulleys yet. swap tstat, plugs, upper and lower and thats 630-650hp. add injectors for more.

    Your world's most powerful stock shortblock LSA just out down 4 digits at Vengeance Racing.

    The sky is the limit with these cars...
