Got any pics of the Raptor and Z06?

Why not the S10, LOL? Here's a couple pics. I need to get a pic of them together next spring. Actually, what would be awesome would be to get a pic of these two, plus my wife's white Fusion Sport, in front of that flag/barn. Red, white, and blue vehicles!

I'm a big guy. I've always had to put the seat back to see out the windshield of the car. Now, its more comfortable on the back for the long drives.

When I was looking around for a new sporty car, the Vettes I looked at were like the ones I grew up with. Back goes straight up, doesn't lean back. This version looks like it has some room to put the seat back. True?

I had a C3 vette a few cars ago and they definitely were made for smaller people. When I got this C7 I was 254 lbs (now at 209) and I'm 6' tall. I've had no issues fitting in the car.

Anyone interested in a 5-Head Antilaser Priority system, with external speaker and laser testing remote? I paid $1600 for this and never installed it. I'd like to get $1100.00. I just opened two of the six boxes to look at what's inside. The other four boxes are still sealed in the factory plastic. Please don't ask me technical questions about this "multipurpose parking system". Google is your friend.

Been awhile since i've posted in this, so im giving an update to anyone who cares. If you recall, i showed some pictures of a Twin-Turbo Coyote 5.0 Build we're doing in a '66 Mustang Coupe.

The car was transferred to us by the customer from the shop he started the project with.

A lot of fabrication was already done, however a lot of it wasn't real well thought out for a street car application. The placement of the Turbos didn't allow for any air intake piping, they were placed waaay too close to the floor pans, and the exhaust, turbo piping and rear suspension left little to no ground clearance.

Our goal was to not only make the car run, but fix all the technical issues that would've prevented this car from A. Running, and B. actually being usable on the street.

We completely modified the floor pan, firewall and transmission tunnel. If you recall, we turned to the Frame Rails into actual intake piping, and we've spent a large amount of time making sure everything was tucked under the car nicely.

I big draw back to classic muscle cars with aftermarket parts is that the shit hangs way low. Oil pans hang low, rear suspension trailing arm brackets hang way too low, exhaust even lower etc.

So there's a lot of fabrication involved in making a car appear flat at the bottom.

With that said....

Well. .. Im waiting.

We got the car running. Fired up on our first attempt. (These new Coyotes are so easy to make run. A True "Plug 'N Play").

We took it in for a tune and found that the Turbos weren't draining the oil fast enough. In most Turbo applications the pump is mounted below the Turbos. Due to clearance issues and the placement of the Turbos, mounting the pump below the Turbos wasn't feasible.

So, we replaced them with Water Cooled Turbos. Sadly, they're completely ****ing different compared to the originals, which meant we had to re-fabricate damn near all the tubing. Major PIA......

Pics incoming...

Here you can see the new turbos, headers and piping. Remember, these Turbos are mounted next to the bellhousing, between the Trans and the Frame Rails.
