wheres the pics of said mystery car?

 

No great shots yet

 

nice, are the turbos mounted up front or in the back of car? ive seen it both ways on vettes.

how is the power compared to your 996tt?

 

Front. It's been several months since I drove the 996 but even on low boost this vette feels really strong.

Less lag too

 

nice, howz the traction or lack of traction?

 

Not. I got a pair of drag radials with it.

When these tires wear out, may go to something stickier. Not sure what yet and honestly, I'm taking the power little by little.

People have always told me I'd die in a car. Every car they say, this is the one. Well this one has the most potential over anything else I've had.

 

unless your going with full bias ply slicks theres nothing stickier than d/r. what kind are they? m/t ss et streets are great as are the hoosier d/r. anything else is a waste

 

I mean with the car I got a pair of drag radials mounted on z06 wheels. (I have not put them on the car yet)

Once these "daily" tires wear out I will get stickier "daily" tires. I don't want to drive on drag radials all the time.

 

might as well. no street tire will hook at 800 hp. it will just be a spin fest

 

I used to use the Nitto 555R and they were the only thing that would hook my Supra on the street. They sucked when it got cold and would chatter but they actually worked in the rain so I couldn't *****. I'd run them again for sure, they wore decently too. I'd rock that Corvette no problem, looks good. Smart move to take it slowly, that. Icy power can bite you badly if you aren't used to it. Aftermarket EMS? Hopefully it has a good performance oriented traction control... Looks like a great buy, CONGRATS!

 

Looks great should be super fun! I like the tiger shark front end on the c5 also.

 

I see you already made the purchase. Congrats on the new car!

For that price, I was going to recommend getting a well sorted 3rd Gen RX-7 with an LSX swap. If I hadnt moved to NYC, I would still have mine. The chassis was amazing, light and felt perfect with the engine in it. That and I still believe its one of the best looking cars ever made.

 

What does it have for suspension? Call my buddy Aaron Pfadt at AFE he will point you in the correct direction!

 

I drive full time on my MT eT streets. They are Amazing!
