I'm Doug, and I live in Heath,Ohio (Go to Newark, turn south). I am currently employed as Technical Support Engineer for a small computer firm, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise.
I drive a Dodge minivan, but CRUISE (i.e. "style and profile) in a 2013 C6 Vette (Coupe 1LT). My Little Monster doesn't do cloudy or wet days. I've probably already voided my warranty, but, hey, it's a Vette and is meant to be personalized.
So far, I have these mods:
Body Work (Installed/Paint by Abe’s Body Shop): Supervettes WaterFall Extreme Hood. (Installed/Paint by Abe’s Body Shop) Body Kit - LOMA GT2 Body Kit OEM Corvette Z06 Bumper & Installation Kit PFADT Tow Hooks (Rear)
Wheels & Tires:
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP (Zero Pressure) Front: P285/30ZR19 Rear: P335/30ZR20
Suspension:
LG MOtorsports GT2 Heavy Sway Bars w/QUiet Endlinks EIBACH MultiPro R2 Coilover Shocks.
ENGINE:
Pfadt Tri-Y Long Tube Headers w/cat backs Pfadt PCM Tune
Next mods will be:
Breathless Performance Roll Bar (SCCA Approved) Caravaggio Daytona Race Seats BRAKES: Either Brembo or Baer Pro+ Front/Rear Aeromotion R Series Dynamic Wing Edelbrock E-Series Supercharger (599HP) Dry Sump Oiling System
On paper, I should be about 530+/-HP, but could be wrong. Need to get to a dyno and check.
I found out about this site while reading LS1Tech doing some research.
I am looking for anything racing or any other car events in the area. While I've not yet had my car on the track, I'm about to start with some SCCA Autocross events and some HPDE on some road courses. I caught the road course bug after attending the Ron Fellows Driving School 6 months after buying my Vette. It was definitely a Bucket List vacation and changed my views on driving.
Pics of my ride can be seen here.
