Project Large Caliber - Cam's NEW 2009 Bullitt Build Thread

[Grabber5.sl0w]

Rotiforms are most likely going to it. Airlift... not 100% on ALP system. It's between KW V3's or ALP 3H system

The 3H is pretty bad ass. Finished the install up on Alvin's car on Tuesday and the app is pretty cool. We decided not to tackle the sensors until later this winter because they are going to be a PITA to figure out where to mount.

Z06's are cool cars, a buddy has one, bought it modded to the max, 593 rwhp, drove it 140mph everywhere (or so he said) ... recently blew the engine.
Replaced it with an LSX, 454ci I think, with nitrous.
The thing sounds nasty.

This is a video of the original "cam-only" engine that recently blew:

You must not have very long legs, Cam. I drove a couple C6's, and I just don't fit. The C7 was worse.

 

[Boaisy]

I can enjoy a Vette at the track or on the highway, but when you start going down back roads and around the city, it rides like crap. The C7 is supposed to be better, but I haven't been in one yet.

Sweet car congrats!

 

[GallopingFord]

Very cool, Cam. Any plans for it or just planning to leave it and enjoy it as is?

Will do a couple small things - lower the suspension bolts, and mild to wild switch for dual mode exhaust. I want to do HCI but my mod money is going toward the Bullitt first.

I'm tempted but I'm so OCD, I hate drilling more holes and mounting stuff.

Nice. Cam really wants a cam.

I do actually. I'm 6' 2". I'm comfortable in the C6, but as you said the C7 is worse. The center stack is too wide.

 

[LS1EATINPONY]

I never had an issue in my friends C6 and im 6'6". Cram yourself in an S2000 once and everything else seems quite roomy! LOL

 

[cbass]

My knees were hitting the plastic surrounding the steering wheel. I had no problem with the two s2k's I've driven

 

[rednek01]

Try fitting in a damn Viper!

That makes no logical sense.... Im genuinely impressed how you managed to not fit in a C6 but had no issue in an S2k... Im gonna have to think on that one.

 

[cbass]

I can't explain it. I went on a road trip in the AP2, too. So it's not like it was just bearable. Plus neither of us on that trip owned it, so we smoked cigars in it and did all of the burnouts.

 

[GallopingFord]

Deal is done. Heading back to VA now

Car number #35 of 252 made total.

 

[cbass]

So it's not car number 11?

Burnouts? You had to do a 5K clutch dump in those torqueless wonders just to get the tires to chirp. Seriously though, I owned an 01 AP1, and it was a great car. I still miss it.

The kind of person who lets two 22 year olds borrow their S2000 for a road trip is also the kind of person who says "gimme the cheapest tires you can get" when it has to get new ones to pass inspection.

Awesome Cam...good luck with her...just don't get stuck in some geriatric Vette club...You'd look a little out of place.

How does one put a baby seat in a corvette? Cam will need to know.

I'm thinking he can rig up something in the hatch. The kid will have a great 360 degree view through the back glass.

Stands for 2011 IIRC. Kind of confusing, the car is a 50th anniversary car for Corvettes first win at Le Mans back in 1961.

The decal is removable, but I will buy another decal set before I remove them. A little too race car for me to be rolling around town.

Stick it on the roof.

I'm not even part of a Mustang club. I can't stand any car clubs.
