scapegoat's '10 C6 corvette

Since i was turning the big two nine, i figured i'd get myself a little gift.

Actually, i was just getting really bored of my 2010 mustang gt. the 4.6l was a fun little motor, but i wasnt going to see high horsepower w/o supercharging and i wasn't going to get the incredible handling i wanted w/o dropping a few grand either.

after deciding to just keep the mustang until it was paid, this beauty came into my life. it was the right time, and right price. everything lined up and i got a killer deal... even my insurance dropped.

the car is a 1lt Coupe. it's as base as you can get.

I don't really have any pictures prior to these, having only owned the car for a few weeks now. however, i just picked the car up from Shade of Gray, and naturally it looks amazing.

you'll have to excuse the ****ty cell phone pictures, they'll be replaced with better ones once the DSLR battery charges.

Congrats, Nice Vette!

The Grabber Blue Mustang was sweet when you brought it in to our studio, but you'll be very happy tuning that 6.2L LS3

hey dude, how you doing? the picture of the mustang is my desktop background. it's a shame that stuff never took flight, i was really hoping for it!

definitely looking forward to working with the LS3 and without having to go forced induction!

definitely. my mustang maaaaybe put down 290-300 w/ the full exhaust and tune. maybe... big maybe lol. the vette puts down anywhere from 380 to 400 and weighs 500lbs(ish) less. so it's like i gained 200rwhp. really puts a smile on my face

whatever it'll take to get 500rwhp, cams, heads, full exhaust, intake, and tune should about cover that. other than that a slight 1" drop and some wider rims. probably 19x10.5 in the back... not sure what's going up front. looking to run the stock runcraps until they're done, so whatever rims i get will fit those.

i really don't have to, or want to, do much to the car. it's already in a fantastic place performance and handling wise and i don't want to ruin that. but 500rwhp just sounds right.

I agree 500whp is nice, you should do it lol. Plus this car will sound amazing with a nice big cam and the right exhaust. The motor stock sounds good, congrats on your purchase.

Looks good. Won't be hard to reach that 500hp mark either.

Very nice. Welcome to the Vette family.

If all you want is 500ish whp you can get there for not too much money on the LS3. Very attainable and streetable.
