Very nice car, Ive become quite the Vette fan and the new C6 just adds to it.

I want to say something though, andthis is no means a negative comment about your fathers car, because I think it looks nice. Dont you find it funny how the domestic guys will rag on import cars for having wild paint jobs, even if they have the performance to back it up? But on a domestic, anything goes? I just wish everyone could get along and like cars for being cars. Ok theres my tree hugging quote of the day. Nice job on the car.

I would have to agree with you 100%. My father is a pretty cool and not your typical corvette owner i should say. He came here from Greece when he was a kid and started with nothing, so he understands and respects anyones approach to building a fun car whatever it may be.

Nice vette! I'm a big fan of Corvettes, especially C3's and C5's. Let us know how that beast drives...

Well I finally got some decent pictures, but the damn thing still isn't finished yet. The car is still not holding boost so after narrowing it down they think it could be the superchager itself.
So now we are just waiting on a new one. Come this May I think it will have been a year since we dropped the car off. Man if it were mine I'd have gone crazy by now.

Thanks. The funny part is if I were him there is no way I'd let me drive it, but he's a little nicer than me I suppose.

For me, though, no matter what I drive, no one else can drive it.

Excellent ride,. Love the scheme.

Got the supercharger back and when they tested it I guess it held 18lbs pretty steady so we are back to square one again. Tomorrow we will try a diffrent wastegate and see what happens. We've also decided to stay with the 18lb pulley so when it actually holds boost this should be really interesting.
