E55 KEV

the key word is "coupe". That sounds like the last generation C5 Z06. The regular C5 Corvette have a fast back hatch back rear window. This is the C5 Z06 with 405HP:



The current generation Vette has the hatch back rear for both models. The C6 Z06:

A member on Corvette Forum has a similar looking C6 with the LPE hood and simple bolt-ons so he claims, the particular LPE hood on the video is a commemorative piece and cannot be utilize on their boosted applications...clearance issues. Posting kill stories/street racing on CF will get you a warning (as I have been given) or the mods will shut down the thread, if in fact a member did run against a E60 M5 he might be hush about it.

These are the LPE hoods to watch out for.

sorry guys for not replying, was out for the weekend..(weekend= friday saturday over here).

the vette was a C6 not a Z06, never seen him again but i will! his car was ideling clean, maybe a baby cam not sure. no NOS, i wouldve noticed. I raced him from 20 MPH he jumped one car ahead then we stayed the same untill around 100 MPH. took my car to service, maybe my car wasnt running well, i doubt it though.

merc655

please do find out what all he had done, because it was not a regular C6 unless you're supercharger decided not to work...

k4 loses to a modified c6? That C6 most have been heavily modded, more than what he claims. If it was a C6 z06, it too would also have to be modded to destroy a k4. K2s run with stock C6 z06s.

The vette guy must be sandbagging

Was playing with a C6 couple on a "closed course" here in town. He was in back of me on an entrance ramp to the freeway and came around me in 2nd (most likely) and stepped on it and went on ahead.

I did about 80 to catch back up behind him (in the fastlane) and he downshifted again and hit it (I was in "M" mode and went to 2nd as well) and kept right behind him and moved over the the right lane next to him -- from 80-100 kept pace and went from directly behind him to the back of his door at 110 and I finally shut it down (I would have passed him if we kept going). He probably didn't know what the hell just happened to him and got all the way over from the fast lane to the slow lane and exited the highway.

A friend of mine just bought a new Z06 a month or so ago and has already done exhaust & headers. He made 460rwhp stock and is hoping for close to 500rwhp with the headers. Obviously, he'd destroy my stock E55...but my Viper would give him a run for his money (I'm at 550rwhp in the Viper).

PS-I'm running the the stock 18" AMG Wheels with Conti's right now for the winter (yeah, I know they have no traction, are loud, and just plain suck!). So, I could only imagine how bad I would have raped him if I had the 19" HRE's with the S03's.
