now all you need is a SC

 

Nice picture in front of the BUFF.

 

congrats carlos.... thats a good way to spend that money! hahaha

 

I drove a red one and they are unreal!!

 

so driving impressions? Gie us a write up. Man thats awesome.

 

Should have waited for a GTR @ msrp. It's cool you can just hide the Z06 when you see them. Hahaha just kidding man.

 

very nice, living someware ware theres no snow youll love it

 

GM is getting better with interiors, but they still look like they buy plastic from K-mart. All the knobs and buttons look like they belong in a pick-up truck.

 

Congrats Carlos! I know you Military officer types make more than you let on...

 

The interior is noisy due to the deep rumble of the V8. The center console gets hot indeed, it has something to do with the transmision mounted beneath.

I had to make 2 round trips to Phoenix-Tucson and the gas mileage wasn't bad, it cruises at 75mph at only 1600rpm in 6th gear.

The engine screams, the torque is available instantly and you can actually go all the way down to 750rpm in 5th gear and start pulling without having the engine hesitating..

The dealer which I purchase the car(Brown&Brown) is mod friendly and they also encourage modding the car. They actually will provide you a route of mods to choose from. They offered me today to put long tube headers, vararam air filter and a basani exhaust and they also break it down on labor cost.

The servic manager told me today that he expected me to do burnt outs and to not worry about mechanical issues. It seems to me that they honor warranties regardless. Also the parts department offered me a 3 year warranty if they do a supercharger on my car.

None of that would happend any time soon though.... I will post any dyno numbers whenever I go to the dyno and also 1/4 miler times if I take it to the track.

wow! that must be a great dealer. mod the hell out of it but keep it NA, if you do go forced though. super charger ftw.

you can get so much power outta these ls7s its crazy.

 

Beast!!!

 

Congrats carlos...its a beast of a car...

 

congrats, so did you trade in the 335i?

 

^^^I was impressed to say the least with the people at this dealer. It is perhaps the first dealer that I had experience in which they actually encourage you to mod it"under their modding path", I just can't forget the quotes they told me: here is my car and whenever you are ready to put some headers, exhaust and air filter give us a call....


I don't see spending money in a supercharger now but here are my 3 power options:

1) Lingenfelter stage I for $4995 (labor included) puts the car in 600hp
2) Long tube header,air filter, cam,exhaust, tune 600hp and also about $5000(labor included)
3) Supercharger($6000-$7000) 600-625hp

I am trying to dominate the driving style on this car first. 505hp on a rear wheel drive car is already a challenge, I want to become familiar with the existing power then add some mods later.
