I can't stop driving the bloody thing. Its so addictive. Having cut the back boxes off my Borla system and added the new Lingenfelter plenum thang from Keith at Eurovettes it sounds madder than ever. Even the peeing rain couldn't put me off this morning







I wish I'd known how good Corvettes were before I went through that whole wasted Italian car phase.

Hope to finally meet some of you down at the Virginia Water meet thumbup

Thanks for posting the pics - sometimes gets a bit dull around here without them! Have you just got pipes at the back now and no boxes?

Yep thats right. Sounds fantastic although there's a headbanging resonance around 80mph on the mway. Small price to pay for the grin factor it gives me.

Cutting those back boxes off have shaved a bit a weight off too. Its all good thumbup

Now just need to replace the sport seats with some Cobra Evolutions and harnesses and I think we're almost done.

Still don't think the handling is as good as it could be and was thinking of going for some KW coilovers? Anyone else uprated their suspension who could give me some tips / advice?

Which specification is your original suspension?
If you're still on runflats just changing the tyres makes a big difference to handling (and ride).
VHR has coilovers on his car.
