NICE! Badass car dude. My friends dad and I stripped an 04 vette, added exhaust, cam, and intake and a nice tune and the thing runs low 10s all day!

BTW, the fucking bitch I brought back with me from Minnesota left me about 7-8 weeks ago. I'm currently accepting applications and I might have to head back up there an export another one.
Can't say I haven't heard of that before. :blind:

Nice looking vette... Gotta love 500 factory hp.
Hey, did you find the dip-stick yet? :p
Yeah, I found it. It was right behind the steering wheel...and it was full.
:smile:
Saturday night I made a pass out the local street race spot. With a soft launch it went across the line at 125+ and it was almost 90* outside, plus high humidity. This car should be a keeper if it's trapping like that bone stock with only 400 miles on it.
My neighbor is a Texas State Trooper. The first words out of his words when he saw the Z-oh were, "I'd sure hate to try to chase that thing." My reply, "Yeah, I'd hate to have you chase me too."
Matt, these are my famous last words to my Minnesota woman...
"You ain't the first whore I've ever been with, and you're not going to be the last."
Just like Captain McCall told Agustus in the movie Lonesome Dove.... "Well Gus....you always have your whores."
I'm such a hopeless romantic.

But isn't the Dipstick over on the passenger side? If I recall my wifes GA's Dipstick handle is also yellow. Oh and that power steering pump reservoir sure has not changed at all. Same look on the 3.1 v6's.
Also does that have the HUD that was in the GTP's? Trying to figure out what that opening on the dashboard behind the steering wheel.

Technically they do not have a "dip stick" due to dry sump. I was just giving him shit...
Its a oil tank on the drivers side as mentioned earlier.
Yes it does have HUD... Most, if not all of the newer vettes came with them if I can remember correct.

The Kook's headers and 3" catted X-pipe finally showed up Tuesday. Wednesday morning I took it for a spin and it sounds pretty good. There's no rasp to it down low and up high it has that exotic car sound. The factory dual mode exhaust is pretty cool. Basically each muffler has two outlets, one flows through the normal baffles to give it a mellow sound and the other runs straight through with a cutout right at the tip that opens at anything over 3,000 rpm's. Nifty stuff. SOTP meter says it picked up power all the way across, especially up top. The tuning software/hardware should be here by the end of this coming week so I can lean it out a little and add a little timing. It looks like the cold air kit will be here around the same time. If all goes well the bottle will be on it and tuned as soon as the CAI is in, which could be as early as next weekend.
Who doesn't like a 3,100lb car with a six speed and 630+ to the wheels?

Most people just don't believe someone as cool as myself could be a dipstick.
Yes, the big aluminum dry sump tank on the passenger side rear of the engine bay has a level indicator with hash marks and everything. It's kinda handy.

After EclipseGST cleared every thing up. I figured it out on my own. Granted I am like this some times: :blind: But I also did this :search: and answered the rest of my questions. Thank you and good day.
