They've been doing that a lot lately, but I've gotten round trip tix to dallas for $200 before.

[Spoolin_Turbo]

but my box of super retardly expensive headstuds are here.

[Kracka]

Maybe they lost your parts like they lost my car for about a week.

[Spoolin_Turbo]

Sounds about right.

So nice, color combo is amazing. Must be nice having LG right there, one of the top vette shops in the country. Dual mode exhaust is also sweet.

What do headers/intake/tune gain on these motors? 30-40whp?

From the looks of things, about 40whp for intake + tune, then another 20whp for headers. The dual-mode exhaust is basically straight through when all 4 valves are open so no need for a catback.

That was one of my favorite things about the C6, the Z06 dual mode exhaust. Quiet or straight pipes.
So, anything about the X that you miss or wish this car had?
Can't believe you are already happy with 4500rpm, the NA motors keep getting faster until redline.

Depends on your definition of cheap I suppose. I would not classify my modded X as cheap...but it was a ton of fun

~800 mile update:

I miss three things about the X: The Rockford Fosgate stereo system, the manual parking brake lever, and the roominess of it.

The C7 does have a fairly small interior, comparable to a S2000 but with more storage space and two cup holders It is very comfortable though and was fine for my 6 hour drive on Saturday besides for my foot getting sore since I couldn't use cruise control during engine break-in. The exhaust is no louder than a regular car and the suspension very compliant for a sports car while in Touring Mode. The Bose 9-speaker system is good, it just sounds a little flat compared to the Evo's Rockford system. The electronic parking brake switch is irritating vs. an actual lever, but it works, and the nice part is it auto-disengages when you put the car in gear and release the clutch.

Other than these minor complaints, the car is absolutely amazing and is deserving of all the praise and reviews it's received since coming out! The engine is a powerhouse, the clutch is light and smooth (twin-disc), and the shifter/transmission is smooth, tight, and short! It's no S2k shifter, but its damn good. The handling seems super human, where the Evo would start getting jittering and making my nervous this just keeps on gripping and hanging on seemingly always wanting to be pushed faster.

One feature I am really loving is how everything is integrated together between the dash gauge display and the navigation/radio screen. The turn-by-turn nav prompts show up in the dash display when needed...same with the radio stations, song title, artist, etc. when you're changing or selecting them.

Texas toll roads. :drool:

[SlowWhite]

Very nice Ive only seen one of these in person it was parked outside of chili's restaurant was black and chrome. Was absolutely beautiful and looked really aggressive.

Nice purchase look forward to hearing your reviews /experiences with it.

Not yet...Don Herring Mitsu is actually supposed to call me this fall when lease return iMievs start coming back though. Otherwise, until then, this is my daily since it's the X replacement

[JET]

So nice! Gratz on the purchase and I think you made a wise choice. Enjoy!

[evotuner]

So much win here, really love the car man. Congrats and enjoy the shit out of it!

[1G_DSM]

Damn that's nice.
