Cost+25% - salvage value


Because it will be totaled when you are done with it as far as I'm concerned lol.

Go lower haha.


I'm trying to find another one. Mine isn't anywhere close to enough anymore. Especially considering that grand national when its sorted will have atleast 600 whp and I can't let me dad's car be faster than mine. I was looking at this http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/calgary/2002-chevrolet-corvette-convertible/1129959123?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true but I really don't want a convertible and I have no real desire to complete a full drivetrain swap into mine.

I'm good where it is. I don't want the underside of my car looking like yours lol. I haven't even scraped the exhaust yet. The intercooler air dam will scrape on steep driveways but it's surprisingly usable. I'd like to.keep it that way.


No verts. A friend of mine will sell you his 9.50 07 coupe for $30k. Twin 70mm turbo, 3 step, boost leash, RPM triple disc carbon/carbon/carbon clutch, RPM lvl 5 cryotreated ZR1 trans and diff, alkycontrol... makes about 800whp on the stock LS2. With a forged engine the rest of it will support 1200whp. We cammed it last weekend and I retuned it. The car is perfect at that power level.

The underside of my car is pretty clean aside from the longtubes which are pretty banged up lol. I am probably close to 2 inches lower than you though, you don't have to go that low.

A $30000 car in the US with how bad our dollar is $41715 Canadian. Add tax and you're at $47137.95. Fuck that. If I'm spending that much its either a C6Z or a 911 turbo. That vert is $30000 Canadian with a forged, stroked and blown LS3, and an RPM stage 5 TR6060. Even just for the drivetrain its pretty good value up here.

His trans, diff, and clutch were $16,000. The turbo kit is $8k. Electronics $4k. Add a $4000 forged short block and you can go from 800whp to 1100+whp. At that price you are buying the parts at retail value and getting the car for free.

Pneumatic, always go for Ingersoll Rand

I'm heading to "Mexico" saturday night with 2 other vettes I've tuned . There is a group from savannah that looks like a slower version of 1320 with a few runs lined up for us. Their YouTube channel is

There are a couple cars in the 700-800whp range for me to play with.
