Punk'd a GTO
I was coming back from Eurosunday in Woodland hills (which you locals should check out, btw, great place to see cars, awesome roads nearby, I met a fellow S2ki'er there last weekend with a GPW F20 car with an intake and some suspension stuff).
Anyway, get on the freeway, tooling along in the third lane, and a youngish kid comes up behind me in a newer GTO (hoodscoops, so Im guessing the 400hp LS2). I move over to give him space, he comes along side, grins at me, and then hammers it. 400hp vs....well, a lot more. Lol. Im in 4th at 70 (didnt think I'd need third) and I catch him in the span of a second, wave byebye and pull a couple of carlengths on him quickly.
I didnt expect to walk away so hard, I havent raced anyone lately, forgot how hard this sumbitch pulls. And now with the NT01s on it, I can actually stand on the throttle all the way through second gear and stay hooked up. Its so damn fast in the upper rpms that I get nauseous, cant imagine riding passenger!

modification to the trans that makes for a very smooth shift.
No More Click, Click between shifts
(some feel the tremec has excessive 'click')
s2kmaniac81, the Z06 is an awesome car. Just think S2000 + more hp and higher limits.
I will be picking up another Z06 soon, but this time going for C6Z06 variant. Reason why I didn't jump an another C5 Z06 was I am getting tired with spending so much $$ modding AND i got tired of the C5 interior.
No doubt you can do alot with the C5... sky is the limit.
Pakisho, what exhaust do you have? Dude, the SLP Loudmouths I just sold.......are 10x louder than the S2000 Invidia. YES........TEN TIMES!!!!!!!!!! (Straight Pipes for the S2K folk.) Sold the X-Pipe too.....omg talk about exhaust pulses. Straight up Nascar.
I've heard X cammed + LGs + SLPs and it may even have been louder than Nascar lol.
I still offer my experience and help to the Z06 folk, so if you need help let me know.
