GT500 BUILD THREAD! 'vert is being replaced!

[TenSpeed]

Car looks amazing, but loved the Vossens on there. Why did you sell those? And your car sounds so sick in that video. It's so aggressive, while that Camaro just looks like a toy.

the car is sick! nice work you've done, I like the videos

Thanks man! More videos to come!

Just in case you don't know.....racestar lugs are junk!...lol

Bahaha, I have never been so pissed off as when they snapped.

Your car looks great and is definitely putting the power down.

Thanks man! I need to practice my launch some more. I need to get that 60' ft down into the 1.6x at least.

I got 2 sets of wheels out of selling them.

Yep, it was 3M.

 

[calispecial08]

Ok good that's what I was looking at and had assumed it would be good with it being 3m but wanted to be sure

Planning on vinyl wrapping your car??

A little update to this thread!

Parts that just arrived:

DSS Driveshaft
BMR Tubular K member
BMR Tubular radiator support-sway bar delete

Trying to sell the TVS blower to fund a Whipple!
Also looking for some LT headers if anyone knows of any for a good price.
....and I need a built rear end, mine has an unbearable howl after the last trip to the track.

 

[calispecial08]

Sure am thinking about it. I'm thinking a matte grabber blue color..

 

[Downstream5.0]

where can you buy the wrap at?

 

[AbdullaGT500]

A small update here!
Finished up a red LED conversion, thanks to Ron(RH)! Every light inside the car is now red!
Ron does awesome work, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out!

Rear end is still hurt, I haven't even thought about digging into it, but I have a "built" rear on the way from Steve Poe. Moser 31 spline axles, Detroit True Trac and 3.73 gears. Should be fun once it's back together!

Dude.... why are you thinking about selling the TVS?? You haven't even begun to tap into what that thing can do!!!

 

[3vstang]

Looks real good man, love what you've done to the car.

Eh, I've decided not to sell it. I found a deal on a Whipple and wanted to sell the TVS so I could scoop it up. I'm pretty much done with performance mods on this one. I'm going to do headers, 3" exhaust, BMR K member, FRPP throttle body and that's it.

Thanks man!

Wise choice IMO. That will be pretty much the same setup I am running. After the clutch,headers, and new tune it was like I was in a different car at the track.

TVS still lags behind by about 30-40hp but still has a nice lower end punch. Only way the TVS cannot keep up is when the Whipple 2.9's add lower pulleys to smaller uppers.
