Kong parts are inbound. This is the one that I am most excited about. It is their blower lid done that comes with all sorts of enhanced cooling including a massive intercooler brick. The inlets and outlets are massive compared to the stock unit. If Kong is to be believed this alone is worth ~50 whp.

Definitely worth it and congrats bro. I told you in another thread, I inquired about trading for that car in TX. I just have too much into mine.

Stock intercooler bricks are prone to collapsing even at stock boost levels over time. Like I said before, if you’re not looking for 1000+ which is unusable on the street, the stock blower ported is all you’ll need.

Hey Klaus, let me know when you feel like selling those comp grey OEMs. You ain’t gonna hook that kind of power on those 20s. Car is freakin gorgeous man!!!

Thanks very much. I already put a set of BC Forged on it but I think I will need to get some 18s in the back when it is built up.

@Klaus were you at the cars & coffee last week in Medina? I saw a c6zrl in IO coupe there :)

Also think you did well on the price especially with the premium on sports cars here throughout 2021.

Thanks much. That is wild, I assumed I had the only IO in MN. I just saw my very first c6zr1 in MN a couple of weeks ago. It was torch red with chrome wheels.

Funny enough I saw your car on corvette forum and was thinking of throwing you an offer. It makes me sad that you are getting rid of it. If I had room I would grab it, it is a hell of a build at a very fair price.

Yeah you’re going to need 18s. I think the only 18 inch wheel model that fits over those carbon ceramics is Forgestar’s CF-5.

Offer is open on those comp grey wheels if they’re in perfect shape

Thanks bud. Trust me it is a very tentative listing. I never drive it and when I do, I’m like yeah I’m not selling this thing.

Congrats man! See you over in the C6 section on CF. Lots of helpful folks over there. Start a build thread so we can follow along!

I'd argue $74k is a bargain for a IO ZR1. I'd love to have one but dont think id have the patience to find one. Like you said, last one I saw on CF was in the 90s.

Heres my TT z06 i just finished. Build thread and youtube videos are over there as well.

I think you did well on the purchase. How many miles? Can’t wait to hear what you think about the car after the mods. Been very disciplined with keeping mine stock. For once haha

Excellent, that is right where I want to be. Anything you would do differently?

That's a really NICE C6 ZR1. Bidding is at $81K with 3 days to go, and original sticker was $124,350. Wonder what the Reserve is?
