]]> Chris Vette
When you think of corvettes, you think of the C6.R and ZR1’s, Z06’s and coupes… not many people associate performance with convertibles… well this car may change that as it blows past your race car.

If you saw this silver ‘vert roll up at the stoplight you might think to yourself, “self, why would someone bother modding a ‘vert?” and then you’d probably think “why is this ‘vette next to me quietly pounding the ground” and then as it pulls off you hear it sit on the converter and the turbos spool and you think to yourself “ZOMG MUZT HAZ CAR!”

C6Turbo Profile

For a car that is comparably quiet and looks completely freaking stock this is the baddest car i’ve ever seen and it STILL gets 27mpg on the highway… It’s got a twin turbo kit and built everything… Friggin’ thing makes 861 on pump gas… to me that is effin’ baaaaaddd.

And if any of you out there have a few dollars burning a hole in your pocket you can own this rocketship…Buy it on eBay!

If you’re in the market for a vette, or anything sporty for that matter, you seriously need to look at this thing… You’re missing out if you dont.

C6Turbo Engine

And just as a side story, while following the owner to take these photos he would gas it every now and then just long enough to spool the turbos and lay down about 10ft of rubber. This meant I had to go from cruising in 5th to winding out 2nd, powershifting 3rd and finally catching back up about 10 seconds later. Apparently, 17lbs in the SS/TC isn’t enough to keep up with the ‘vette! Now i know how StunnaBEN is gonna feel after he sees my tail lights when we bump off :P

Danny's Turbo Cobra

Ford brought the game up a notch when they released the 2003 Mustang Cobra. The damn near 1400hp capable stock internals, the strong 6speed, and the supercharger to move the goods. Was Ford trying to dominate? A bud of mine named Danny was all over these cars. I mean to date, the dude has had 3 of them. I don’t know why he cant stay away, but I can tell you his newest one is 11 months in the making, and has the potential to be a killer from its rebirth!

Danny's Turbo Cobra

When Danny got this car from Nebraska it had a Whipple, 60lb injectors, an aftermarket clutch, and a few other mods on it. Not too long though after getting the car Danny got the news that the compression on the motor was lower than normal, it was time to go into the block and fix the problem. But like all of us, when Danny decided to fix the problem, it was not an easy “back to stock” fix, but more or less a chance to go a different route with the power adders. After calling up Rick Erdman of Amazon Tuning Solutions in Anderson, Danny planned his choice of actions. A few weeks later, the motor was being pulled and a different type of boost was being mentioned!

Danny's Turbo Cobra

The 76mm Hellion kit was the choice they went with, and being mated with a stiff ass clutch and a 99 Cobra intake manifold, Danny was ready to reassemble. But like I said before ,this was no stock fixing, and it also did not go by like a stock build. This thing took 9 months to complete, being worked on mostly at nights and the weekends. I am sure there was some waiting on parts thrown in, mixed with the changing of minds on parts a few times!

Danny's Turbo Cobra

Fast forward a little bit! Danny calls me up early on Saturday morning and tells me that he is headed to the dyno to fix a boost problem and get some 17-18lb pulls. Kyle and myself bounced out of the house and go down to Amazon Tuning to chill with Danny, KB, and Rick and to see how the car does.

Danny's Turbo Cobra

When we get there, the car is having a problem and wont go over 11lbs. The spring was the problem, and before you know it Rick and Danny are up under the car taking the wastegate off!

Danny's Turbo Cobra

After the spring change, the car goes up in boost fast! In fact, so fast that the piping blows off the Throttle Body, but we see an instant 17lbs and we know that the change was a success!

Danny's Turbo Cobra

While still on pump gas, we manage to pull out an uncorrected 573hp/588tq on 93 octane. Not bad at all on a mustang dyno, but the car has tons of power left in it! More to come on this car, so stay tuned to GreasyBlocks!

  1. H2o 2010: Wet Wheel Expo
]]> E's Jetta

When you sit as wide as Eric’s GLI you can pretty much say forget everything else. Motor, no needs for any power besides the little bit you need to move the wheels. Interior, please! All you need is 4 seats, an Ipod, and air in the compressor! As the Prince said on that track SUMERTIME… “2mph, so everybody sees you!”

eajetta200111s

Eric’s Jetta is sex. That’s how I always seem to tell people about it when I try and describe it to them. When I tell them that those BBS on the back are 17×11 with a 225 on it, that’s probably when I get either continuous talk and hate about why people shouldn’t stretch tires, or something along the lines of that’s the baddest shit I have seen son!

E's Jetta

While I give Eric and I mix it up back and forth about his Mexican heritage, on my daily trips to his restaurant, we always talk about the new mods in store for the car, along with what Eric is seeing online. We check out all of the sites, and its all about the stance in Monterrey’s! That’s the name of Eric’s family restaurant here in the upstate. They have a chain, and without a doubt they are some of the best Mexican food in the upstate. Possibly, my fav that I have ever tasted. (Leave it fair, since I have not been to every Mexican join in the us!)

E's Jetta

This car is never finished, never ready, never right. It is always going through some kind of construction. There are always details changed. But the part about this car that we all can get down with no matter if we like it or not is the fact that its a daily driven car! Sometimes hundreds of miles per day, and sometimes just to go get supplies for work, either way, you’ll see it on the ground!

E's Jetta

The Anodized lips are ill. I miss the polished lips with purple spokes though (Pics coming!)
