To be honest, it's all just too dark for me - no contrast between the body and any other component. Best pic is the dyno sheet. Now that looks very good....

[tastelessmode] Do they do one in red with bling wheels like mine? [\tastelessmode]

[Mello]

Nice pics. I especially like 1,4,5,8,12.

understandable but however i think it give's it that even more stealth look...

Welcome

Lovely images and thanks for the link.

Agreed 100% - very, very nice, brilliantly executed, but a little extreme for me.

I would probably lose the all black wheels to get a little light and shade going on - maybe brushed rims with black centres or something - but then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that Z06, even of not quite to my taste is beautiful and would be ansolutely perfect to many.

He was obviously copying the Yumobile (which is even nicknamed The Beast, because it is an '06, C6 Z06):



Even the fuel rail covers look familiar:



(Of course it is entirely possible his was done before mine! )

BTW, that is a twin turbo Lingenfelter C6, not a Z06.

Hit the nail on the head there Godzilla I though that id seen something similar before just couldnt put my finger on it.... how is The Beast if you dont mind me asking? I saw it from some pics at brunters VMAX a while ago my cousin took, he was in a Ron Fellows i think u know him quite well but i dont fancy name dropping or anything?


PS you being a Lingenfelter man looking at the photos in that forum i cant understand where the hell you put 1 let alone 2 turbos under the bonnet with all the associatied pipework.... does yours not run close the bhp of this one without the buckets fitted?

beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Indeed. and what a beauty you have too looks like you spend a good amount of love on it, i bet the rain is scared to touch it if you ever get court out in it.

wasn't that the car that was sale on corvette forum a while back
$60k or something ?

For me - that's the best looking C6 around - love it. Almost makes me think about getting one

Lingenfelter claim 616bhp for my cam conversion but that has not yet been achieved on a UK dyno.
More news on my car soon.

As for James, he is already a well-known celebrity on this forum (ParkLane) so name dropping wouldn't really apply!

[Happy-Snapper]

yes I am aware that a lot of your guys know him well, had some fun times when he brought the vettes home for the weekend...

one day there will be one in my garage.

look forward to hearing more news on the beast.

Good spot. My usual quick way to check out as Z06 is to look for the scoops and flares on the rear wings - end this one has them - threw me. The front wings among other things (like it says C6 in the pics - DOH) give it away.

Like the look of the Beast BTW - comparing the two, yours still has a little contrast around the wheels which really helps to my eye. Awaits flaming..... - yes I know, all Vettes are nice, especialy these two - okay, okay
