Very nice pics What turbos does he have? Super clean car for sure! Jeff
-
We haven't done the final clean-up yet but I will take quite a few engine-bay shots before it leaves. Just spraying it off quick leaves an insane amount of water spots (From the vents in the hood) on all the polished parts so I didn't take any on purpose. The Engine bay has our IPS Appearance Pkg (Gloss black valve covers and Intake manny with relocated coils), Polished blower housing, Polished IPS Alternator Pkg, Ceramic-coated Kooks headers, and Gloss-black powdercoated pieces. Its pretty much full show-car under the hood as well Jeff

I haven't I am no Hua but I enjoy snapping pics whenever I get a free minute. THe car does look very good (IMO) and will look even better with the flat-black CCW wheels on it. I want to get a few nice rolling shots and dyno pics and some of it all cleaned up before it heads back to Texas. Jeff

I might have been. Just driving around putting miles on it so we can get it on the dyno today/tomorrow. Most of the pics were taken in/around downtown. I forgot all about the car show so it got a good amount of attention lol. I just drove around and stopped whenever something caught my eye. The "Woodsy" bridge pic is right down the street from the shop. Jeff

I was just putting miles on it over the weekend so I figured I would take the camera along and take a few pics. Some of you might have seen it out Saturday night at DynoTune for Kenny's cruise. The nose needs lowered and it actually needs detailed for proper pictures but you get the idea. Cliffs on the build: 1) Vortech "Ysi" supercharger Kit w/IPS CNC Blower Brkt 2) 427 LSX Block w/Forged Internals 3) ETP 6-Bolt Heads 4) RPM / IPS Auto Conversion 5) PFADT Coilovers / Harness Bar / Engine Mounts 6) HRE P43 Wheels -- Gloss Black / Polished Lip 7) IPS Custom Fuel Set-up As you can tell, I didn't spend much time on the pictures other than some quick cropping and lighting tweaks but I will take some nice shots before it leaves this week and post those up I think it will look "Meaner" in pictures with the CCW Wheels anyway http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/CAc6zResize14.jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/CAc6zResize4.jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/CAc6zResize5.jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/CAc6zResize10.jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/CAc6zResize6.jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/CAc6zResize8.jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/CAc6zResize12.jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/CAc6zResize11.jpg

Very very good photography The fact that the "Models" are drop-dead gorgeous certainly doesn't hurt lol. Jeff

Black does look pretty damn good: http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/GRzr1-2.jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/GRzr1-8.jpg Oh, and yes, the brakes are massive: http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures//GRzr1-6.jpg

Not a problem at all

That angle does look a helluva lot better in terms of the launch. We just had another C6Z customer of ours cut a 1.38 60-ft in his auto-swapped Z so I believe it. If we can get this cage installed and tranny swapped out by May 1st hopefully we will see how close we can get to those numbers. Jeff
-
Yeah, I printed all the emails (I think I have about 5 or 6) and put them in a file. I will email everyone when the wrist-bands arrive and get them right out. Jeff

We are very lucky to find ourselves extremely busy in the "Less than stellar" economic times and we are very happy to add AJ to our team. He will be a great addition to the shop and our staff as his prior experience more than speaks for itself. A business is only as good as its people and we are fortunate to have a VERY talented crew right now Jeff
-
Call me today at the shop and I will walk you through what to do from here Jeff
-
We just more than doubled our Square-footage so if you can't find anything else I'm sure we could find a spot over in the "Bull pen" for it. Let me know! Jeff
-
I have no problem shipping to those that are not local. If we send them out USPS it will only be around $4-5 so shipping is not all that bad. If you need one shipped to you please email me at: sales@ipsmotorsports.net and I will take care of it from there. Jeff

Wow, I don't even know what to say. I remember meeting Kenny at Force-Fed wayyyyy back in the day when they had a dyno day out there. He dynoed the El Camino the same day Nick dynoed the T-Type before it was Kenny's a few years later and before I ever helped him get it painted and all the body work done when I was at True2Form. Great guy and he will be missed... RIP Kenny

Here are a couple quick pics of it since there are not a lot of red ones running around: http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/ChrisBc6z%20(4).JPG http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/ChrisBc6z%20(8).JPG

We purchased the 300M axles but they were not the correct length so they never got installed. They have been sitting on the shelf since the middle of last summer. We figured we would hang on to them in case the stocker's ever broke but so far so good. Jeff
-
I know you mean that in the nicest possible way lol. Owner is a local guy that isn't really a "Forum" type. He rides Harley's and apparently his bike-friends told him we built a Z06 or two that trapped 159mph so he decided to stop in. He drove away and called before he even made it 200 yards down the street to say how stupid fast the car felt and that he would be back for more soon Jeff

We didn't do a base-line pull stock but the 460rwhp pull was with a Vararam CAI and 160 T-Stat installed but un-tuned. Tuned the car almost made 500rwhp The car is bone-stock save for the Vararam and SLP T-Stat http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/08%20Z06.jpg

AWD cars typically don't lift the front tires all that often
-
He may have dropped it to the floor for pictures Or, more likely, he probably could care less about road-racing and prefers to drive the car around extremely lowered for the "Look". Jeff
-
It has a set of PFADT fully adjustable coilovers (Same set-up as Mark & Jason's cars) and possibly solid engine/motor mounts. Depending on the tire they can be set-up to handle very well Jeff
-
The C6Z here from TX is only a few days out and I think it will look even better than the "Batman" car IMO-- I will post up pics next week It is essentially another blacked-out C6Z with CF bits and HRE and/or CCW wheels instead of the 360s on that car. Having 900+ HP with a YSi blower is just a bonus We have sold both cars (Batman & Robin) PFADT suspension and other parts and one of them is a wide-body C6 IIRC. Very good-looking car nonetheless! Jeff

Mark's car gains 37.66 for comparison We get our ass-kicked to the 1/8th and then the power difference allows us to walk away on the big-end. Hopefully the cars will get a chance to line-up this summer Jeff
