  1. Nothing else black as an accent (especially matte/flat) will look good against that glossy black rear fascia treatment.

     

    If your talking about the emblems hese go on the side.

  2. Can I get CR's opinion on 2 things?

     

    1) Black wheels. Assume plasti dip matte black

     

    2) flat black Z06 side badges. I loved the badge on stock cars- I think a flat black bade would look good on this. Not thats its drab now, I think it may just need a little somthin'

  3. Better cough up $1k+, sorry man it's not 1999 anymore. I haven't seen anything under $800 that didn't need some real work in a long time.

     

    $500 will get you complete crap.

     

    This is accurate.

     

    I took the RTA (public transit) to school for 3.5 years. I worked 7 days a week in the summer so I could by a car when I was 16.

     

    Everyone's situation is different, but I have found the best way to help someone "get back on their feet" is not to offer a hand and pull them up, but to cheer them on while they stand up on their own.

  4. Same color as mine before I did the camo. C6Z is always a great buy. Throw in a flex fuel sensor and add some E85. Enjoy mid 600 whp NA.

    Really that much of a gain being NA?

     

    I'm still stuck on the fact that you sold the VR4 :/

     

    Dude hit my "Buy it now" price. Nothing I could do but accept!

  5. Trade you a G8 and $10k for it! Lol

    I LOVE your car- If I didnt have (and still love) the 535i or could sell it quick I would absolutely buy it.

     

    On that note- want to trade for a 535i that traps near 120mph? :)

     

    nice pickup. with those mods, should be a mid 10 second car @ upper 130's, without the sauce....... provided you can manage a manual trans car on the track:lolguy:

     

    I'm regretting selling my z.

     

     

    Yeah I am surprised to see how hard they run with these mods- but as rowdy as this thing is, I believe it. Hard to describe, it comes into the power band LIKE it has notous! Feel like the power never stops climbing as it goes through the RPMs. I am assuming the monster cam is the factor there.

     

    Rowing the gears wont be the issue. Buying a sticky tire and being willing to hammer it on the 60 foot will be. Seems like you need a 17' and a DR to get the 60-330 you need for a 10. Not many doing on a true street tire on the stock 19. I highly doubt I will do either before the Colt is done, tuned, and makes some test passes.

  6. Damn nice wheels. What's the difference between these and a gen 2 CTS-V sedan other than the supercharger or maybe the gen 1 LS6 version??

     

    Its a Ls2 I believe (IMO better than Ls6) but should still have a 6l80e which is VERY stout if so. Many going 10's on stock 6L80s

     

    There's a guy from the Cleveland area that wants to look at it Friday. One of yours?

    95% chance yes :)

  7. Awesome acquisition, car looks great. Congratulations - hope you've been well, JP. Look me up the next time you're in town.

    I would have sent this in a PM, but I'm exhibitionistic and want everyone to know we know each other.

     

    You as well old friend! And will do!

    I knew him first.

     

    Indeed #teamtercel4lyfe

     

     

    She hawt. So is it a black car underneath too? Or is the ass wrapped black?

     

    Black paint. Here is actual pics of the car prior to wrap (no I didn't get those rear wheels in the deal)

    Was it box?

     

    They are the ones who built the first car that blew up. This is just the car the kid got in trade for his. Its never been modded by anyone up here. Vengeance racing did the original build/tune

  8. Shit that's a nice list! Now I'm curious what you paid for it lol

     

    He listed it for 27k ONLY on an FB group. Basically zero exposure. One week later dropped to 23k. Terrible listing is the only reason it didn't sell at 27k, but the sharks where in the water at that point. I came in under ;) He is a mom-n-dad motorsports kid and I knew the backstory.

     

    Cliffs- he had a 100k+ Z06 build- talked shit to all the locals while it was being built. Gets a bad rep pretty quickly. Car gets finished- car blows up- Dad pays for new engine- that goes public- kid gets shamed- kid runs from cops in a different car-gets arrested- looses license fro 3 years. Kid SELLS 100k build Vette-dad takes a bath- he gets cash and THIS CAR which he cant legally drive (LOL). Vette gets parked. Few months later, Sherrif comes a knock'n. Kid needs cash ASAP. ZipTie racing closes the deal. ;)

  9. I do love that gloss black tail panel. I'm shocked I don't see that on more cars with how good it looks.

     

    Just a thought, if you are committed to LSR with the colt eventually, the C6Z might be a good reliable car to do your licensing runs in before had so that when the colt is eventually ready you can just aim and fire and not worry about Keith Turk or someone else denying your license and invalidating your run because you went 10mph over the target speed he asked you to hold.

     

    Thats a pretty good idea.

     

    How funny would it to be to qual with a c6z the go 200+ in a POS colt LOL

  10. green calipers? :barf:

     

    Still, nice score.

     

    Is that wrapped matte silver?

     

     

    They have grown on me, but either way I wont be paying to powder coat them a different color!

     

    Yes, full 2k 3m wrap. Also got pics of the paint underneath. Looks good under-lots of swirls would need a correction/detail. But I like the wrap-its going to stay as-is unless I find a deal on wheels

  11. Got offered a crackhead deal on a C6z. Modded- about 570whp NA w a progressive 250 shot on tap. Kid needed cash literally that day. Convenient timing since I just sold the Galant. So, I went from not really looking at Vettes, to owning one in 3 hours. :p

    Tentative plans are to take off all the fancy nitrous parts- sell it, and just pimp it as a Friday car for a while. The Colt will still be the speed focus. Its plenty fast as is. I should have it on the dyno in a few weeks to clean up the tune and set it up for a "non nitorus" calibration. Its pretty rich right now.

  12. Same offer I made to Vinny for CR, $9k as it sits, no more negotiating/dropping. It's going to CarMax as soon as I get time.

    Whole lotta car for $9,000 and a few parts. Could probably flip even.

    With the wheels?

     

    I 1000% would buy if I didn't just make a "cant pass it up" purchase. LMK I will wore out the add up north.

  13. I found 2 very decent examples both clean title one hovering around 100k and one with around 80k clean titles and nothing major needed. One had paint fading but they were asking low teens cash.

     

    Both ads are gone so I'm assuming they sold but will find out have to scroll back through texts.

     

     

    edit:

     

    1994 with 97k paint fading but nice car, title held by credit union asking 15k think I got him to 13k

     

    1993 with 78k motor built by Atkins and professionally installed asking 14k think I got him to 12k

     

    Will see if they respond to my texts

     

    Nice guy!

  14. another possible route would be find public park that has a decent sized lot, have food/coffee trucks pay a permit fee to parks and recreation, and see if the parking lot can be reserved for those few hours with parks and recreation. The food/coffee truck permit fee would pay for any reservation fee of the parking lot and then some.

     

    No truck I am aware of will pay to be at an event like this. Any truck I have seen requires YOU to pay for them to show up.
