Project:No replacment for displacment.

I'm guessing something happened that was a little un-nerving??

I'm guessing its to fit in a certain class for auto-x.

Is the stock exhaust a big restriction compared to what it has now? I know it came with a titanium muffler and tailpipe assembly to save weight (like 18lbs vs the standard C5 exhaust).

Maybe, but I'm sure we've all had close calls on the road.

The C5 Z06 is extremely competitive in stock form in autocross. Throw on some R-compound tires and go have fun.

Ryan, what are you going to do for brakes?

[niterydr]

Good call Ryan.

It's for AutoX. The one corvette guy I talked to said I would be giving up about 40HP, between the intake and exhaust.

I support the demodding.

I'm sorry, I really don't like demodding to fit into autoX rules. I hope its either temporary (for nationals or something?) or you have some different parts in mind. Modding is fun, more power is fun, going back to stock stuff is not aweful, but not on my list of fun things in life.

You and I have already had this talk. There is no need for discussion this in this thread.

Yes, you are hating. He wants to compete and rules are rules. He has to follow them. It's unfortunate that you think every street car should be modified to your liking regardless of the owner's intentions.

I'd vote try to compete for a bit, if it still aint happening, like still getting stomped, screw it and make a fun street car. I see both sides of this argument, but before resorting to Scheides' methods I would say try the class out and see if you like it.

How is a stock C5 Z06 not a fun street car?
His joy in cars is competing, you guys obviously like to mod for some other reason.

Wait wait, you guys are right if you aren't throwing money at cars its not really that cool though.

I hope you rock it stock in the stock class and move up as you see fit.
If you wanna join in the fun night action, get a switchable tune and 150 shot.
