A long overdue Forum Build Thread update<\/a><\/strong> covers the last 2 months of competition and test events we ran in #ProjectNewBalance, our narrow body C6 Corvette that we worked on in 2021 and campaigned in SCCA and NASA TT in 2022. The forum post is a big 3 parter<\/a><\/strong>, so go grab a snack and login on a device with a larger screen – as every image can be clicked for higher resolution pictures or videos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the track tests and Time Trials, we also cover many months of development work to the C6 and our biggest single break-through yet – front brake cooling. This was a game changer for this car, and remember – we also had an ABS swap (Mk60) and ran three different brake systems (base, Z51 and C6 Z06 brakes). No other single brake system mod made a bigger difference then this, and its a simple upgrade. Wish we had done this sooner! Live and learn…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Forum Update<\/a><\/strong> also goes over a bunch of power upgrades we did after securing the Tuner2 Texas Region championship for 2022, and these changes (heads \/ cam \/ intake \/ cold air \/ new headers \/ tune) netted an 80 whp gain on the dyno. We show the way that we built the exhaust to keep it all quiet, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, this “final” update<\/a><\/strong> shows all of the paint and prep that went into making this C6 have a car show level finish, with 60% of the body repainted, plus loads of detail work done in early 2023. This all came together in a “car for sale page”<\/a><\/strong> that worked well, and this C6 sold quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But fear not – we now have merged our C5 and C6 development threads<\/a><\/strong> into this one mega thread<\/a><\/strong> and will update it more, like when our all carbon C6 Z06 comes into the shop (soon) and gets a more aggressive TT build than any other car we have built in the last 20 years at Vorshlag. Stay tuned for more! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
