What do you think about these wheels?

[Rootus]

I think I'd be perfectly happy with the Z51 brakes myself. It seems like it would be a rare occasion when you could overheat a 13.4" rotor.

Ya your right the rims dont look very good on the car, thanks for posting that up Patrick.I guess Ill just wait until next year probally and pick up come CCWs or something. Like said many times on here, the stock wheels look pretty good as is.

I seen that you were looking at that set off CCWs over on the vette forums, you going to buy those? Nice rims.

Looks like I am going to just go ahead and do the exhaust,tint, and lower (if anyone wants to help I wont turn it down. Dont know where anything is on a vette. Supposed to be easy, only unloosening a bolt.), and because I when I start I cant stop I may even throw in a intake (red Haltech Stinger of course).

Ill wait on the Long tubes and cam until next year when more tuning is available. ANd then upgrade to any Z06 suspension parts I can.

Good choice Jessie

I was curious as to the stock specs for the C6 brakes, so I googled it. And found this post... look familiar?





I then went on to do more research, and came up with this. Numbers are diameter x thickness.

Base 2005 Corvette:
front: 12.8 x 1.26, two-piston calipers
rear: 12.0 x 1, one-piston caliper

Z51:
front: 13.4 x 1.26 cross drilled, two-piston calipers
rear: 13.0 x 1 cross drilled, one-piston calipers

Z06:
front: 14 x ? cross-drilled, six-piston calipers
rear: 13.4 x ? cross-drilled, four-piston calipers

I'm busted!

Jeff is looking ito other options for me.

Brembo has a 6 pistonkit for the C6 for only $4000.

Unless you wanna look cool, you dont need 6 piston calipers, heck even the stockers with some poterfield pads will give you neck pain.

if they didnt have that bead lock on there or what ever you call it. makes the car look cheap

So I went ahead and ordered the following today! This stuff should wake up the car a bit. Car sounds quiter than my G35 at the moment. From what Ive been told it will sound like a NASCAR at full throttle now and have a nice gurgle at idle.

B&B TriFlo C6 Bullet w/ Quad Round Tips
B&B TriFlo C6 X-pipe
Halltech Stinger Intake System

Hehe the B&B bukkets are basically straight pipes, and if that x pipe does have cats....the car is gonna sound wicked.
