Default Striped the vet

Been busy play'n with the vet, custom powder coated the wheels black, and accented it with yellow pin stripe. Also painted center caps and calipers to match. Now I did the Classic1 striping kit. Plus I ordered the A&A supercharger kit and American Racing headers. My wife thinks that since I bought the vet the SRT-6 will be her's....... SILLY GIRL

So does that mean the Vet is hers?

Actually she has her own sports car, but she does like the SRT-6 better

Thanks I originally was going to buy a black vet, but didn't want all the hassle of keeping it clean, so I went the yellow route with the hopes of hardening up the looks.

Looks great. You did the right thing picking another color other than black. For some reason, I keep torturing myself as I had many black vehicles and each time, I say, not another one, not another one but keep going back. Guess the old saying is somewhat true........ I may make this one my last black car.... but then again.

Looks awesome, I like the fact that you played off the striping scheme of the old (early 90s) ZR1. I think the stripe would have looked better coming all the way down the back and accenting the exhaust, but overall, that is one great looking car.

I going A&A corvette supercharger and American Racing Headers with high flow cats and X-pipe. With a conservative tune of about 17* I'll be at 590-610 whp or I can go more agressive to 650whp. Dragon Racing just finished their M-1000 maggie kit where you can keep the stock hood.

If I did that it would have messed with my black lettering on the rear bumper

I use the Dyno @ A&A Corvettes from time to time.

His supercharger kits are the bomb. He always has quite a few vets in his bays getting modded everytime I'm there.

Watching Andy tune a Vette up to 650+ RWHP is always a kick.

You have some work to do with that installation - but it will be well worth the time. Get used to wheel spin @ 50MPH

Who's going to do your tuning?

Brian,
Andy at A&A recommends the Vet Dr's for tuning. Once I install the kit I will have Andy give me a flash tune so I can drive over to the Vet Dr's, they are only 45 minutes away.

American Racing headers are quality pieces. We just got done installing a set on a new SS Camaro and have a set to replace the Kooks currently on our C6 Z06.

For tuning, look into HP tuners. It uses the stock ecu and is entirely end user adjustable, plus a license for the software is only like 500 bucks. Its more than paid for itself with our vette.
