Talking White and Cobalt Blue GT3

Mine arrived last Tuesday, I was supposed to take delivery today but they discovered a small transmission fluid leak, so I will be able to get it early next week. I went over as soon as it was off the truck and snapped a few pictures with all it's protective film on, and then I was over today seeing it with the stripes on for the first time.

I am also having a clear bra installed, clear side markers, track alignment is finished, and the cup car front grills.

I am not sure what caused it yet, but they discovered it doing the track alignment.

Jim, the blue on the car looks great. I was at the dealer earlier this week but unfortunately I didn't see your car. It must have been in back/service. I hope to see it on the street/track soon.

Yes, Shawn hooked me up.

Our Z06's were at L.G. Motorsports in Texas.
My C5 Z06 now has coil overs, T1 swaybars, was aligned and cornerbalanced to their race specs. Wilwood brakes that can still use the stock rotors at $20 a shot. The top end of the motor was rebuilt with AFR 205 heads, a G5X3 cam, FAST 90mm intake with a LS2 throttle body. A lightweight dual disk clutch coupled with a carbon drive shaft, the engine has been setup and tuned to rev fast, puts down 484.3rwhp and 435.3rwtq on the dyno.

Can't wait for LAPS full circuit Autobahn CC on Monday, you bet, see you there.

Thanks, it's been in back their since Tuesday afternoon. Since I will be at the track on Monday, hopefully I'll be able to swing by Tuesday and pick it up.

She's a cutie Jim. I almost went by there today but found something else to do with an afternoon.

See ya Monday. I'll be the other Velocity Yellow.
