Throw a stall in the mix and watch your tires LOL.

2wd is pretty much pointless now. I have pretty good throttle control but the urge to stomp on it when someone want's to play doesn't work anymore. I have had a couple WAY slower cars start pulling on me cause all I am doing is laying rubber 50 yards at a time LOL


DS is on my list eventually.

HP is addicting. Boost is addicting.

You can never have enough HP. I was happy with just a tune at first. Then I got just the Procharger and was blown away.. then got bored. Then stall, cam and everything else and was happy again.


I'm very use to the power now and want more. It's a bad cycle I tell ya

Oh I want more, for sure, but I have been spending the money on other things (quad, guns, ammo, motorcycle) and if I kept modding the truck too we would have some money problems now we're looking at new cars for the wife.

It's ok, the bike is quicker than the truck will probably ever be, so that will do for now. My plan has been to get a Z06 for quite a while now and that still won't happen for a few years, but this beast might get force-fed yet

I hear ya. I had a stree bike for quite a while. Tons of fun, tons of mods but the riding season sucks up here. To short, shitty roads etc. I do miss riding though.

FF is just plain fun but like I said its addicting. I can't drive my wife's rig cause I get pissed off lol.

My father has an 04 lemans Vette. I hope he sells it some day, will grab that in a heart beat and have a new project

See for me the bike made sense; it never ever rains here at all (less than 30 times a year, at most) so I ride to work every day. The truck was supposed to be a used C6 Z06 but the wife talked me into a truck, and now I have the quad (and I love my truck) so the truck isn't going anywhere so my bike is both my daily beater and my acceleration fix I just started riding last month because I finally convinced her that the fuel savings would more than pay for the cost of the bike.

Now I just need to pay off everything and maybe shave off a couple bucks towards a Trick turbo kit or something

Although we might have a fun car on its way into the driveway anyway: I talked my wife (who was planning on getting a 2008-2010 Beetle convertible 2.5 because she thinks those years are the cutest) into test-driving a Boxster, and now she's pretty hooked on getting one of those we're not done test-driving yet, but I wouldn't mind having a sports car in the driveway at all.
