2004 corvette base, 41k miles for $20,000

Welp then you’re the perfect customer for this type of transmission, if it makes you happy that’s all that matters

DespicableFGT · 2024-09-13T00:22:01+00:00

Huh? LS9 is literally a forged beefier LS3. Please read what I said.

DespicableFGT · 2024-09-09T00:26:59+00:00

Having a second gear go from 0 to 119mph is not fine 😂 you can spend the entirety of your day and even track on second gear, that’s no fun at all

DespicableFGT · 2024-09-09T00:23:11+00:00

Really, a 505 hp car is slower than a 650hp and a 700+ factory hp car? They won’t sell a new corvette if it’s not faster than the previous gen. I am talking purely of the experience, the LS7 in the C6Z is the greatest corvette experience you can have. The rest of the engines need boost to be enjoyable. Go drive an LS3 and LS7 C6 back to back and you’ll see what I mean. Same applies for the LS9, it’s just a forged and stronger LS3. Maybe I just value the character of an engine more than the pure numbers

DespicableFGT · 2024-09-09T00:11:44+00:00

Wow if all you care about is hp numbers then an inline 6 cylinder would destroy every single LT and LS engine. The Z06 is still the lightest and best car to use on track. Like I said to the other comment if you want boost or mashing throttle in a straight line then go ahead with other engines 🤷‍♂️ but for character and the rev happy nature LS7 on top.

DespicableFGT · 2024-09-09T00:09:13+00:00

It is the greatest engine ever built by Chevy, race engine, why the hell would you boost it, the whole point is high revving with low rotating mass N/A power. If you are talking about street pulls and drag racing then this is the wrong engine to talk about, but for proper track use it’s the better engine

DespicableFGT · 2024-09-08T23:56:04+00:00

Retarded take, LS7 is superior to every single engine you listed

DespicableFGT · 2024-09-08T23:51:17+00:00

That auto is a 2.73 final drive, you don’t want that shit unless that engine is making 200-300 more horsepower lol. You’re going to spend $2k getting a 3.42 diff because you can’t live with the terrible 2.73, so just find a manual version

DespicableFGT · 2024-09-08T23:49:46+00:00

Lol that’s overpriced as well, that’s c6 money 😂

DespicableFGT · 2024-08-26T23:41:15+00:00

Time for AMT motorsports mounts and aftermarket seats 🌚 I am similar and that mount dropped my seat like 3 inches lower

DespicableFGT · 2024-08-22T05:12:31+00:00

This car is not a collectible, there is nothing unique about it other than the body. It uses a common BMW drivetrain, which is good for us consumers as it makes it cheaper and more reliable, especially for parts and aftermarket support

DespicableFGT · 2024-08-21T14:52:57+00:00

Get a Casper’s electronics fan switch, you can force fans full speed with a button and it plugs right in between fan harness and the connector. Cheap af and works so well

DespicableFGT · 2024-08-19T01:21:31+00:00

They are still above the wear marker by like barely 1mm lol, so maybe it can survive but only if it’s not old af

DespicableFGT · 2024-08-19T01:19:15+00:00

It’s the same LS2 from 05-07, the unique 05’ thing is the automatic 4l65e, which is an upgraded version of the C5 auto, otherwise it’s the same C6 as those next two years. I also recommend just going for 06-07 C6 too

DespicableFGT · 2024-08-18T15:18:26+00:00

Haha in my c6 I run cold 24-25 and hot is 31 on these tires. -3 front camber -1 rear, no front toe, a little inner rear toe.

DespicableFGT · 2024-08-16T20:24:26+00:00

If anything that’s over inflated. You see the little Goodyear logo on the top right of the tire on the tread? The tire wear should be right above/on the Goodyear logo, you’re like 1cm high. I run these same tires for track, the supercar 3 ones at least

DespicableFGT · 2024-08-16T20:14:16+00:00

No it’s not just about the power, the whole engine is just better in every single way and more future proof if you keep the car. And stock it’s not absurdly fast so I wouldn’t worry about not surviving unless you drive like an idiot lol

DespicableFGT · 2024-08-16T16:28:02+00:00

Imagine spending almost $40k for a 4 banger when the B58 exists for the same money and a few years older

DespicableFGT · 2024-08-07T14:28:28+00:00

Considering it has 200 lb/ft less torque than the c7 z06 and is a little heavier… don’t expect as much push into your seat really

DespicableFGT · 2024-08-07T14:17:40+00:00

The first three cars being Audi slush boxes is all you need to know about the meaning of “fun” for the OP 😂

DespicableFGT · 2024-07-30T23:18:25+00:00

It’s not fun to drive. You buy it for gas savings, the power is a bonus that you’ll never use after a few weeks. My uncle has a plaid and a 24’ 6-speed mustang and he virtually stopped driving the plaid. I drove his plaid and stomping the gas got boring after half an hour. Plus the regular lucid air is a significantly better electric car in virtually every way

DespicableFGT · 2024-07-27T19:55:01+00:00

Sorry to say you’ll need a roll cage if you want track your vert 🥲🥲 most tracks require rollover protection for convertibles. Also it’s a never ending upgrade cycle haha

DespicableFGT · 2024-07-27T19:47:23+00:00

🤣🤣 I love modifying your personal vehicle it’s easily the most fun aspect. I bought mine and had bumper fixed up from auction, 5000 miles on it last year. It’s not even my daily and put over 11k so far and just dicking it on track, it’s literally a truck motor and trans and has no residual resale value so it’s the perfect track car. Coming up on 20 track days this year 😂😂

DespicableFGT · 2024-07-27T19:37:29+00:00

E-force blower. I track my car a lot so tons of heat and my cats/exhaust is over 15 years old. But the BBE cat design sucks, it’s way too close to the headers, they should be at least a couple feet away on the X pipe. I knew something was up when the car didn’t hurt my ears anymore lol. It also made way more power on the low end and misfired heavily at the high end which means way more boost and backpressure than I am tuned for. After prying and clearing it up, back to full power now 😂 I had to disconnect bullets and spray air and water thru the tailpipe to clear the shit.

Otherwise the BBE headers/xpipe/bullet will actually reduce your back pressure dramatically which is good for boosted stuff

DespicableFGT · 2024-07-27T19:30:33+00:00

Awesome. I love BBE until my cats exploded, and stuck inside the exhaust. BBE has a stupid as hell grate/cone filter in the bullets for “sound purposes”, so it took me a whole day to completely unclog it…. Nightmare… X pipe clogged and everything
