After the **** show its been with getting them, I hope they are all you had hoped for

I have a feeling it will be awesome! There should be all sorts of other good bits with them too, CHE upgraded rocker arms, 2 sets of pushrods I think, some pac 1219s, and maybe a few other odds and ends I had worked into the head deal.

A buddy came over yesterday with his new-to-him 2019 WRX "premium", not an STI but still 6 speed 2.0 Turbo pushing 23psi stock (325hp)! Anyway, we did not race head to head but I ran my local Mexico mile a few times in his WRX then again in the Tahoe and I think the Tahoe might outrun the WRX from a dig to 80-90mph. Not that a WRX is a "fast car" but it makes me really want to 1/4 the Tahoe soon. The WRX should run a 13.7 1/4 with a good driver. If this Tahoe ran under 14.5 I'd be tickled to death!

I will say that WRX had me considering a newer car again, damn it was smooth and quiet. Although the clutch was more difficult than my Tacoma.

i know what you mean... i keep looking at c6s every couple weeks

Early C6s have come down a lot since the C8s came out, just a stock auto ls3 model would be a great daily driver. I was looking at those caprices and SS sedans a year or so ago and they are decently priced as well.

i know, which is kinda all i want performance wise ls3/6sp but i like the way the z06s look (grand sports too but i hear a bit a heavier and geared worse). this is assuming that i will just leave it alone and enjoy it.

I'd live with the crappy gearing and weight of a GS if you could find one not outrageously expensive, I think for a DD the extra luxury items are worth it. Absolutely would not want a convertible tho.

What a Beaut! The C6 is the best-looking Vette since like the C2s, don't get me wrong the C8s are cool but that's in a different category altogether. They also have just the right amount of tech and of course the 6l80 which is stout as fuh for such a light car. Oh and the GS comes with such nice wheels even I wouldn't want to change them those are gorgeous.

His needs tint.

In some realms, that's considered a huge mod! Yeah HPT for the Taco is very very limited so I no touchy either.

I like that blue, can't say I see it much. I'll pass on the red can't stand red cars/trucks for some reason. The 6 speed would make you want to mod it more I think.

It used to have some ccw wheels on it. Went back to the stock style. I wasn't a huge fan at first but it's really grown on me.
