I noticed that you used a Cusco RS diff, not a Carbonetics or Quaife.

How do you like it? How noisy is it?

If you had it to do over again, would you still get the Cusco RS?

its the single best mod I've ever done

Not noisy or intrusive at all (it's all in the setup and fluid). We sell Quaife and Carbonetics too, but at the time I got my Cusco, neither was on the market.

i know his z would take a c6

a C6 is way different from a z06 frame.

therefore making it a bit slower given same hp ratings..


i myself have raced more than enough goats and i say pretty close.

with that extra 40 hp and longer pulling powerband

any goat would see his tails lights pulling away,,

so. c6. is nothing,

i call bs on a c6 having 370 rwhp

here are a few pics of the car from last weekends NorthEast Mountain Run up to Stratton, Vermont. I don't know who's pics they are, but thank you for taking them

We're planning on taking some nice high res shots shortly, just have to find some time. The guy doing the pics is also going to help me with some videos too, so I promise...soon guys!!

For now, hope you like the pics







This is the first car I can truly say we did every bit of work to (aside from the tune) in house! Everything from the engine build to suspension setup, even the FULL repaint, all done right here. It took forever to do the body work especially (136 hours in total!) but it was very self satisfying knowing it was done correctly

I think you guys will love the videos when we post em - we've raised the rev limiter a bit more now (8400 now), and believe me, it sounds absolutely fantastic as the revs climb! I don't even remember what my stereo sounds like anymore, I haven't been using it much
