Re: Representing 3rd Gens On Power Tour 2011

Wrong kind of track. It does road courses and auto crosses, with the 9 inch installed it may get to the strip now, but not competitively.



The stereo sounds excellent. Quite a stretch from what it was stock. I need to set up some quick disconnects to remove the box for this fall when I go to some tracks. Definetly a good experience on Power Tour. Now if I could just figure out how to avoid rock chips and road construction my life would be zen :-)

Re: Representing 3rd Gens On Power Tour 2011

The vette is an easy driver but it had the air deleted in the name of speed years ago. It has been on tour before and did real well. THe milage is not great for a vette. It is lucky to knock down high teens. It also could use some new seats, whole interior for that matter. THe automatic and engine though are about as docile as it gets if you don't lean on it to hard which would be nice in traffic.

Has this engine and a 200R4. It can make it down the highway pretty quick.

Re: Representing 3rd Gens On Power Tour 2011

Made a little improvement. I was not digging the pregnant looking radio pod. FLRTN said this was a bolt in piece. I will club him later. It took me the better part of a day rerouting HVAC ducting and carefully grinding away plastic to get it all to look right. I like how it turned out. I swear my car does not look that dusty in person. :-)
