explain pease.......... sweet... but no comprehend..

Oh, I was just being picky about my paint and the existing parts had some flaws. So I bought a new hood and deck lid and shot new paint on the hood, front fascia and deck lid. The hood was spider web cracked as my carbon fiber double reinforced air bridge blew up under about 18 psi boost and damaged the hood. Just being anal retentive about my twin turbo turd.

On another note, my ZR1 was supposedly on the transport Sept 17th according to my dealership. But still no car today.

Got a calendar shoot this Sunday with both my cars. I'll post up some pics next week.

Nice, Norm!

Hope to see the shots of the ZR1 soon.

Hey Norm, Question. Have you ever run the TT Vette or the ZO6 vette at the track?

Hey Norm, Question. Have you ever run the TT Vette or the ZO6 vette at the track?

Nope and to be honest, I never have finished the car completely. When it was being dyno'd it was blowing the tires away. So they cinched the car down, threw some guys in the back and put on my big drag radials. When they finally got it to stop spinning, they found the clutch to be the weak link. So, he just threw 7 pounds of boost at it and 12 degrees of timing. It is making about 730 RWHP. On the initial run, it made 680 RWTQ at 3000 rpm before it lifted the head. I ended up installing Cometic Fuzion gas impregnated head gaskets on the car.

Right now I'm just enjoying being able to drive the car. The tires are the weak link on the street. I was coming home from a cruise night on Saturday and showed a little Porsche what it looks like to spin the tires at 85 mph in 5th gear. Man, you never really get used to that. Still kinda makes me pucker a little.

I'll have to install a twin disk clutch down the road when I want my real world numbers.

So the new ZR1 will be slower than the TT right?

Yuppers. The ZR1s are dynoing around 530 to 545 RWHP.

My C6Z06 is making 483 RWHP with just a tune and CAI. That isn't much less than the ZR1. Sure makes someone think before spending $117,000 on a car.

if u got your zr1 for 117......then you made out dude...... they are going for 130k+ around the east coast.

That was without the stealership markup. $117k is just sticker. I may tell the stealership to stick the car up his BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!

Man, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around 730 RWHP on the street- is that with pump gas, or av gas, with 'additives'? That has to be seriously sick, and fun- you need an adult behind the wheel of that, somebody that thinks they are invulnerable is going to find out pretty quickly that they are wrong-

Yeah, if your ZO6 is putting down 483 HP, that last 50 HP for the ZR1 is coming at a pretty price- then again, it is all factory stock, and under warranty- wonder what that will do with minor bolt-ons- I am sure you will find out-

Must be nice....

It is an absolute handful with only 7 psi/730 RWHP. That's why I don't turn up the wick. It's already overkill as it sits. I run 92 octane pump gas and dual nozzle boost variable methanol injection.

Norm, I think the only time you'll be able to turn it up is in the Silver State Classic. On the street or a drag strip it would be useless.

Enough torque to spin the rim and not the tire, huh?
