That makes sense. I made 290 whp on Shane's dyno on pump, and if I remember right, the RWD's make closer to Dynojet numbers on a DD compared to AWD's. Now if I can make 400 whp with the Green on pump at Shane's, I'll be a happy man.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

For comparison, C7's are putting down around 420whp Dynojet in stock form.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

The C6 is now safely in MN! My dad flew down Friday and we drove it up Sunday. The cruise was set between 80-85 MPH the whole way and it averaged 26 MPG so pretty impressive in my opinion.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Top up or down?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Up for the cross-country trip, but was down plenty Friday & Saturday :cool:

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Awesome sauce.
What are your thoughts on C6 vs C7, now that you have some time in both? (Just curious)

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Sort of like comparing an Evo IX to Evo X; the 7 is more refined and overall improved/better with more technology packed into it, but the 6 is still a very fun car and more of a raw sports car (no where near as raw as a IX though, still can be a comfortable touring car). The C6 does have a slightly roomier cabin than the C7 too. The engines are very strong in both and the cornering grip impressive.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Nice, thanks for that.
Did you see the article about the "final 638" Chevy is going to bring back a few C6 ZR1 cars that weigh 29xxlbs and make a bit more power.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

I did not! Got a link?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Thanks, that's really badass!

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

yeah, I need to get into some C6s and FDs this summer to figure out what I want.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

After bombing around in my dad's C6 I was thought, "Damn, why didn't I buy a used one of these instead of the Evo X back in 2010?!"

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Just what I wanted to hear.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Did a quick photoshoot before taking the C6 to MN!

PlanoEvo's father recently passed and in his will gave his Corvette, with only 12k miles on it, to Andrew.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Wow, crappy to hear about Andrew's dad, my condolences. :(

Great photoshoot though, red/white/blue, murican in Texas!

Is it just me or does the C6 look quite a bit narrower than the c5/c7? Also, the c5 still doesn't look as dated as the c4 (i hate the c4) but its started to look less sexy unfortunately, just because the c6/c7 look solid. All great cars though.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Likely just the angle, but let me dig into the dimensions...I do know the C6 is 5" shorter than the C5 though.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Length/Width/Height
C5: 180 x 74 x 48"
C6: 175 x 73 x 49"
C7: 177 x 74 x 49"

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Ha, so I was RIGHT! 1"!
