@@bigblahhhhhh Hey man, is it a base model? The biggest thing on the C6 corvette in terms of wheel size is making sure the front and rear tire size is between .5 and 1.5 inches of each other to prevent the computer from throwing an error. On my C6 I have 305 35 18 in the rear with 245 40 19s in the front. I’m running a Holley ÉCU so don’t have to worry about tire size diameter.
@@Nudragoste thank you! Honestly, it’s probably worth upgrading to the F90 just because of the AWD alone and slightly better reliability. If they are too pricey, or AWD isn’t a big deal, nothing wrong with buying an F10 M5 and building it. (What I’m doing)
@@habibimonster5218 I use a local tuner near Atlanta. There’s a few different options- you can tune it yourself, have it tuned remotely from a tuner, or take it to a shop and have it dyno-tuned. The first option is the cheapest, with the last option being the most expensive. I’d recommend finding a shop that has a lot of LS experience and have them do it. Each shop will vary slightly with their “magic” but they’re all playing in the same data tables for the most part.
Hey hey, I don't think they can be brotha yours are drilled and slotted. The regular base model rotors are just flat discs.. I guess a previous owner put on some aftermarkets of some kind really look like powerstops..
Id like to see some more driving around content. Wanna hear ur turbos.. your kit is far better for the hp.. I did reamount. Just because it was more affordable at the time.. nice to see someone repenting the ls2 besides me.
@@DevinM420 Good question for sure. If it does start to fade from the heat I’ll use it as an excuse to put carbon fiber fenders on it and maybe do some heat shielding. We shall see!
Im sure by now someone has come up with heat resistant paint or at least some sort of protection..very cool placement of turbo by the way!@@Mattsboosted
@@vinobinoruiz7026 The GTR used is 80k alone stock. I’m still 40k less than that with mods 😂. Unfortunately, this GTR didn’t have enough even at almost 100k purchase price and current mods 🇺🇸
A 2006 base model convertible corvette with A/C, full interior, stock trans, and diff is considered a drag car now? The GTR was running anti-lag and I didn’t even brake boost. Nor was I in kill mode. 😂😂😂
Had to let off because of traffic unfortunately (you can see it at the beginning of the video). We had a couple runs but it ended up the same way every time 👊
Based on my research buying one of these could be the dumbest thing you ever do. The entire engine essentially needs to be removed from the car at 100k miles to replace every hose, every plastic fitting, rod bearings, turbo seals, engine seals etc. it is just a giant maintenance turd. This is why a 90k mile 2013 M5 sold for 21k on BaT a few months ago.
Definitely a lot of maintenance. But at 21k for an M5 that hopefully leaves some cash in the pocket to take care of those maintenance needs and modifications. If you buy an M5 with over 60k miles just better have 10k sat to the side for maintenance.
