Nov 13 - Houston - Pantera/Vipers(SRT10)/Vettes(C6)/Supras..

[RC45]

...and other working folks cars... :)

Enough with the Enzo's and CGT's already.. ;) :P

First a little C6 vs C5 show and tell. This is my buddies new C6 (you may remember his wicked Silver slammed C5-Z06 that sounded like Satan on steriods in the video of it idling)

I still don't like the C6 - GM lost the unique Vetteness with this one.. they tried too hard to make it look like something else.

It's a nice car - but it hasn't grown on me yet - and perhaps the performance of the C6-Z06 would let me look passed the ugly face..

Hey mister - I see where that small furry mammal you are trying to find is hiding..

Now an old vs new comparison of the Vette and Viper. Which one do you think does more justice to its predecessor? vette or viper?

More to follow as I get them up onto Imageshack.

[T-Bird]

I'm starting to like the new C6 but I prefer the C5 ass especially.

[ZfrkS62]

i see alot of the C5 in the C6. it looks like they only changed the front end and the ass. It just doesn't look as original as i hoped this generation would
:?

[TT]

I agree with you RC on this one.. the C6 is definitely less Vette and not as nice as the previous model. not so sure for the Viper.. I love the new one :D

[sameerrao]

I love the looks of the Camaro SS ... I saw the 1:32 slot version of it on Saturday and was sorely tempted to buy

[T-Bird]

Is that an Intercooler on that 350 Roadster?

[chest3r]

:o Some excelente photos. I loved the Supras, the 350 Z's , and specially the old SS :shock: :o

[BADMIHAI]

I actually like the C6. It reminds me, and I know it's strange, of a Lotus Elise. The first time I saw it on the road, in June, I liked it. It seems so nimble. 8)

[SilviaEvo]

in the last pic with the Supra's what do you see? some may notice this nice two wheeled vehicle

[T-Bird]

the only bike I can think of that has exhaust like that is Ducati but I don't think it is.

[gigdy]

You know she wouldnt be the first little girl lost in a supra tailpipe.

That one camaro is beautiful.

[SilviaEvo]

the only bike I can think of that has exhaust like that is Ducati but I don't think it is.
Yamaha R1 8) i wish i had it but my friend does

[corvette97]

Nice pics, really nice...

a quick question... ur friend's C6 is lowered or its the stock height?

can u get more pics of his car?

thanks

[TT]

Shit :D for a moment I thought the Supra's muffler could be able to swallow your daughter! :D

[nurbrun]

Man awsome pics. is that 605 hp( :shock: ) GTO sold by pontiac or a tuner company?

[RC45]

Man awsome pics. is that 605 hp( :shock: ) GTO sold by pontiac or a tuner company?

The event was held at MTI - the GTO 455HO is an MTI special.

Funny you should say that - as if I am not mistaken, the gent who owns the GTO also has an F360, and a 550hp+ Corvette Z07 (another MTI special) back at the house.

SO I guess you could say he is hedging his bets... ;)

[sentra_dude]

Great pics RC...I esp like the Vipers and those red Z06s. :twisted:

LOL what are the chances of that. ive noticed every single corvette that has been tuned sound like angels on harps.....but a bit on the twisted side DEVIL :twisted:

[corvette97]

thanks for answering my question :cry:

[SPEEDKILLAR]

http://img115.exs.cx/img115/2658/patti1.th.jpg

LMAO...

If my memory is good, I think that is your daughter :) thank god she doesn't have your looks...

I think the new Vette and Viper estethically didn't improve, maybe I need to get used to them, but they sure improved technically ( just a little bit of course :wink: )

[FPVPSI]

Okay im gonna make a bold statement...i thing the C6 looks better then the C5...i prefer the more sharper aggressive lines and cuts...more modern too... :lol:

[RC45]

thanks for answering my question :cry:

No problem.. ;) :P

His car is lowered and hear are some more pics... (I didn't take them)

Is that orange Corvette by any chance Tuan Le's Vette ? He has a 2000 Pearl Metallic Orange Corvette. MTI 408 Iron Block Stroker, built specifically for nitrous.
NA Dyno = 450rwhp/457rwtq, with Nitrous Dyno 100-shot = 556rwhp/631rwtq.

His site -> http://www.houstonstreetscene.com (at least that's in his signature over at another forum I frequent.)

BTW, the 350z vert is a TT car... :)

Oh - and you will also see why there are a lot of guys in Houston that really have no fear of Enzos or CGT's on the hiway... ;) :lol:

[BADMIHAI]

Fucking nuts! Especially the 800+ RWHP Viper and Supra. :shock:
