Obligatory C5 Thread

All of this "Grand Sport Beater" talk from Chris. If you put down over 400 RWHP I will drive to A&A, get a blower and rule on you forever like Sauron.

I want in on this... if you get a blower I will put a sticker on the back window of my vette that says Small Dick, Fast Car!

That sounds like a challenge.

One that has been accepted. He's fucked.

I may get heads as a result of this to guarantee victory.

Not worried. There's no chance in hell Desertbreh will even put aftermarket brake pads on his whip let alone a blower.

And this is how the Horsepower Arms Race has begun!

I guess if he's a bitch and doesn't keep his word, then yea.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

All I need is a set of $400 243 heads and it's over.

The hunt is on.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

I should hit 410 with 243s and cam. With 4.10 gears, I'd dub the car "410"

Sig updated to keep him honest. He will regret this.

So this is what Lou Maiuri feels like. I probably should have thrown a few "phaggots" in there too.

A few thoughts:

1. I really do want to follow through with my bold statement, but concede it was meant more for lolz and to goad Chris into spending money more than anything. It won't happen in 2017, since we're blowing mad cash on a Bimmer in February (new delivery month, LOL).
And I would have to pay off the car first, I still owe about $8K on it.
2. 2018 though, is a real possibility.
3. @ Captain Canada: I'm driving this car, I'll have 20K on it by the end of January, and it is starting to lose (in my mind, if not in reality) some of its pristine luster. Also, IMHO, an A&A installation AT A&A in Oxnard is recognized by the
Corvette community as pretty legit in terms of a mod that won't screw up value. I do plan on keeping the car for a while.
4. I think Chris' car is great, and if I lived in Michigan I would do all of that stuff....no emissions cops ftw.
5. I think it will happen, just not in immediate response to Chris' mods. His car is jacked up, and he needs to not just make repairs, but make that thing strong like bull.
6. I can make some more power through a few things Troy mentioned, but it's a lot easier (and totally CARB approved) to add the blower. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, I would need a radiator and clutch too. 8 grand? Ouch.

It is that the A&A supercharger is CARB legal, doe.
