It had a chip, exhaust, and some suspension upgrades. It was his dedicated track machine with R compounds and everything. He was quick in it. Quicker than me, anyways, and my ride prob weighed 500lbs less at least.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220297440183919487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-51351965868263268322010-09-15T00:06:45.082-04:002010-09-15T00:06:45.082-04:00you can defiantly hear that its turbo. this should...you can defiantly hear that its turbo. this should be cool for tuners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-59908666248911513482010-09-14T17:46:14.591-04:002010-09-14T17:46:14.591-04:00I couldn't watch it.

It can weigh in @ 3,660 with about 3/4 of a tank of gas.<br /><br />Colin Chapman grade nut-jobs still cringe, but I have never driven any other heavy fast car (in anger) that hides its mass to well. Modern fast cars (with few exceptions) are full of stuff that makes them heavy and IT CAN NOT BE AVOIDED. If you want light, it ain't gonna be cheap. <br /><br />If you are so OCD about this topic that you can't stand it, then buy your Lotus Exige and then STFU. Team Corvette did an admirable job making the C6 Z06 somewhat light and somewhat affordable.Dave Flogaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00865246209308841013noreply@blogger.com
