Night an day from my modded. Vette Barn Z06 vert. I loved that car an will have many memories of the great times making it what it be came with Gary, Brian, Casey, Rich an the rest of the Vette Barn crüe (miss u guys) but with that said, yes mods to come. Come to find out I have long tubes installed an confermed it today. I also have the M2W switch which I left on today an I love the sound. Tinted windows are done, as is the black outs. My great buddy Ray is sending me a hurricane intake. ( thanks brother)
Mods to come... Black Spyder wheels with nittos are on there way an I going to get the calipers painted Atomic Orange. Then down the road an nice cam an Katech valve covers ( orange ofcourse) an relocation kit to clean it up under
the hood. Other then that I'm in heaven an the little guy loves to be my copilot.

So mods... Just a few

Munch 03-05-2011 5:54pm

Very cool.:cool: Congrats on the new ride.

Y2Kvert4me 03-05-2011 6:41pm

Sweet ride Mike!

Not much of an orange guy either, but that car looks quite sinister all blacked out. :cool1:


:cheers:

illmac77 03-05-2011 7:46pm

Thanks Guys!!!, since i Sold the Vert in December its been on my mind to drive again. This just happened out of the blue... some bonus's i found when i got back to the house and checked it out a little more were the fact that its got long tube headers, a mild to wild switch and the Z06 stock exhaust mod. this thing sounds wicked, cant wait to hear it with a cam in it... now im just awaiting the Spider wheels i bought and need to get these calipers painted orange... A quick pick after I cleaned her up a tad...

Will do!!

Cobra4B 03-08-2011 11:42pm

I love it... really like AO, much better than the new inferno Orange and better than the original '06 DSOM. You figure out which headers it has? Have cats? Oh and how'd you figure out it has the OEM muffler mod? Are there welds on the muffler cans?

Love the spyder wheels, but I'd have to go chrome on AO. Choose your powdercoater for the calipers carefully. I've yet to see someone do AO properly, but I haven't browsed the C6 forums in a long time. Most of the ones I saw were all too light and looked more creamcicle than AO.

oyealiz 03-09-2011 3:33am

Awesome! Congrats! :cheers:

illmac77 03-09-2011 7:19am

Yes def need to find the rIght powder coated to match the AO. I seen a picture from mike the powder coater on the other forum an looked right on. I'm not sure about the headers but they do have the band clamps like my LGs had. An they do have cats. Yes the mufflers have the welds on the cans. The M2W switch was wired up to a spare selective ride switch an stuffed in the glOve box. I'm like WTF. So I rewIredell it an made it right.
Did u tell those GT3 drivers it not all about the car but seat time?

Toque 03-09-2011 8:23am

Nice !

Finally sold the Twin huh ? Hope you found a good owner for her.

Hope to see you around this year sometime ! :cheers:

Toque

illmac77 03-09-2011 8:40am

Yep sold her in December. Been tieing up some things the past few months. Yes you should see me this summer. Can't wait to hang out Mark. It's been awhile

DoingOK 03-18-2011 6:06pm

Congrats Mike.....you'll love that car. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I'm picking up a 2011 CTS-V Coupe on Monday. I already have Kooks headers and a Corsa exhaust standing by. A few other goodies are lined up also. You and your family take care.
