Hey there guys, its been a while. Figured I would post a new thread since its been years since i have been on SVTP to show you guys what I've been up to since I sold my white 04 Cobra...

Here's the new ride, got her bone stock for a killer deal from a relative with only 25K miles...

09 1LT A6 C6 Corvette

Mods I've done so far:

LG G6X3 cam package
Circle D 3200 Converter
LG Super Pro long tubes with offroad x
NPP mufflers with exhaust commander
Tuned by Allan at Futral Motorsports

new mods coming soon are an underdrive pulley, ported throttle body and a new air intake (still on the stock one lol)

Car made 460/i think 400 (cant really remember)

Anyway, here are some pics when i first got it and we (Screamin Cobra and myself) did some paint correction...

Yesterday was a beautiful 70 degree day in south Louisiana so we went to State Capitol Raceway for their first raceday of the year. First pass on drag radials ever in this car, I only stalled to about 2700 because I was worried about traction. Next time I will stall a bit higher.

Good to see you all again and good to be back! :beer:

Welcome back David. Your Vette sounds awesome. Those before and after compounding photos really show what can be done to paint that looks abused. Especially with black paint. Great looking car. Enjoy it!

Thanks Bob! yea it was just brush washed with the previous owner so it had lots of swirls but it DID sleep in a garage. We spent about 8 hours taping off and removing trim and compounding. got it looking great. Then it rained... :bash:

Thanks!

It's a Vantage...very nice car. Sounds great too.

shoulda kept the cobra

I had 2 Terminators. They were both broken at least once a month. Had my vette for a few months now. I beat the shit out of it everyday and have yet to even have a burnt bulb. 34K miles and not so much as a tire pressure sensor malfunction. Also, when I go anywhere with my Mustang friends, people dont even notice them around. Too busy standing behind my car listening to the cam. Don't get me wrong, I loved my Cobra's, but it was high time for an upgrade. Also I put thousands and thousands in my Cobra's and never saw a 10 second pass, even powershifting with a 1.65 60'. My vette I did 4 little mods, one of them being the tune, and first pass was a 10.91. I can't really complain about that. ;-)

You can't beat the sound of a cammed LS motor. Sounds amazing. Impressive numbers for sure as well. Welcome back :beer:

Anyways welcome back
