:rotf: Gotta love his honesty. "I am married to a wonderful woman. She is really sweet and treats me very well. Well, sometimes she verbally and physically abuses me."

He has a sweet house. I love the pic of the garage.

Re: This is the shiznit

Hey guys,

It's been a long time since I've been here. Adam texted me this morning about this thread. I've sold every car that is in that picture. I don't have any classics any more and have kinda gone Vette. My only two toys in my garage are a C5 Z06 and a C6 Z06. A ZR1 should be there in a couple months as I am first in line at my Stealership and my build date is in August. If I survive the raping they give me, I'll post up pics when I get it.

My C5Z is a LS2 based 402 stroker with MTI stage III 243 casting heads. A couple of T3/T4 hybrid turbos supply the air and a dual nozzle meth kit keeps it in one piece. I also designed a custom "on demand" fuel system for it so I don't have to hear the big pump run all the time.

I hope you guys have the nats here this year. I always like hanging out with this group.

Here's a pic of the C5Z:

Performan Norman is the ONLY reason I own a SY and TY. Back when I was 16 I was on the f-body forums and he mistaken me for somebody else and mentioned syty's... that's when I looked at his site and fell in love with the Syclone.

Norm, when's the next house party? I'm dieing to see the TT vette.
 
Re: This is the shiznit

Daron: I was never a whore. I just like variety. :)

Danen: Didn't I just see you last night? Sure would like to see that Syclone back on the road. b)

Zach: I'm planning on having a car gathering soon. I wanted to have it before it got hot out. Damn, too late.

Yeah I first met him when I was working at a gas station pumping gas and he pulled up in his syclone and I was that crazy teenager wanting to buy it from him. A few years later we ran into each other again at a gas station and I was the one driving a typhoon but he had upgraded to his c6 zo6. Hopefully next time I run into him at a gas station I will be driving the z06 and he will be in the zr1. :tup:

Re: This is the shiznit

Are you going to watch your ZR1 being built? I am only 2 hrs from the vette plant. Be glad to pick you up at the airport in the ty and we can run down there to watch.
 
Re: This is the shiznit

I'm not going to watch this one being built. I watched the birth of my last two and it's going to be about the same. Plus, I have mixed feelings about the ZR1. I love the performance but am not happy about the ricer attributes and most of all the HUGE STEALERSHIP mark up.

Ted: Yea, that was funny how we met.

Re: This is the shiznit

Do you need someone to drive it from Bowling Green to your house and take care of it?

LOL

I bet you can tame it down a bit though.

haha No, I have never had museum delivery. I have them ship it to my dealership, I drive it home with the shrink wrap still on it and prep the car myself. It's kind of enjoyable.

Ricer attributes?

Please explain.

Clear polycarbonate hood window that exposes a plastic engine cover. Rear spoiler that is a bolt on instead of having it molded into the rear fascia. Carbon fiber from splitter that just replaces the one that is on the Z06s instead of molding a new front fascia. This is a $103,000+ car and I think it should have more integrated body lines. JMHO!

Oh I didnt know it had a bolt on spoiler. :tdown:

Is that supercharger like a Procharger or is it a Roots style?

So will you be getting the hood repainted to cover up the like plastc window? :p

I heard they only made the 1st ZR1 blue and no more will come in that color. Is this true?

That damn thing is hot... Replace the plastic hood window with a carbon fiber piece and it would be perfect.

Norm...if you want, I'll do a fiberglass fill on the plexi window so it wont be there anymore. Of course, you will have to leave entire car with me for the span of 3 months and I will not be responsible for tire tread lose or higher mileage upon delivery.

I heard something like that. It was some special carbon fiber paint that was some outrageous cost. BTW, the first one sold at Barrett Jackson for a cool mil.
