Good Lord, the C6 design is a forever classic. Gotta say that the switch back to the yellow hood is chefs kiss. Something about the solid color lower and black canopy that just works. Good job Hoon squad and good luck/congrats to the future winner.
Absolutely love how this turned out, nothing in yoru face , just subtle OEM+ updates including the LED clusters. It all comes together and modenizes the car without loosing the lines as originally intended, but cleans it up well. Those front lights work SO much better for the overall look of the car compared to the OEM ones.
I used to watch this incredible drag racing event on TH-cam a long time ago from Germany. There was an AWD Corvette with a huge turbo sticking out of the hood . It beat everything it raced . Wish I could see that again.
I was under the impression rods should be since they are forged ti, as long as they aren’t wearing. The pistons are hypereutectic though, I want to go forged piston in my z rebuild.
Almost hope they drop a valve screwing around with it so they have to repair or replace the heads before they give it away then it'll be the perfect giveaway.

I recently watched a SavageGeese video where they asked the original architect of the LS7 directly about the valve issue. He basically implied it was an issue that was overblown. Is the valve issue due to heavy/hard use (high revs) or is it kind of like the Porsche IMS bearing issue (eventually, it WILL fail)?
@@alejandroherrera5271 I don't get why this isn't more common, imo the carbon look on body panels is dumb and tacky.

@@AlfaRomeo156SWGTA Alot LS7 ATLEAST PRE 2010 have a manufacture defect on the heads where the valve guide is cus of the different tolerance of titanium valves it was even confirmed by the designers
@@AlfaRomeo156SWGTA valves are in the head not the block dawg, and valve failure is definitely a common issue with the ls7. If anything it’s the only thing that really goes wrong with them
If that C6 is anything like the other Vette variants I've worked on, you gotta pull the rear bumper and a few more things to get the stock exhaust removed. Same thing if you're replacing it with another stock assembly.
This vette is an '06. It was only between '08 and '10 that the valves were a problem. It became a recall item as well and 2011+ it was completely eliminated.
FYI for anyone watching, the KN oil filters, NEVER EVER use a wrench to install, only to remove, you can weaken the filter housing and it will leak / blow out under pressure if you use the hex w a wrench to install
I’m gonna guess that they have a cam/heads upgrades planned, probably just hard to get them “immediately” still cus of shortages an shit. Atleast I hope so
@@biggiesmalls7939 damn really? Sadly ion have a car I modify, I jus work at ford and know we’re still seeing all sorts of supply issues. Maybe ford really just suck that bad😂
So most of the comments are saying they didn't change the headers, cams, lifters, or springs and that it won't last long how it is. It should be fine if the oil level is kept up on and it isn't driven at 100% throttle all the time. Just watch the gauges keep it cool and oil up. Or yes spend the money to get those replaced. But Chevy/GM parts are already pretty tough from factory when it's stuff in their motors.
I’m not doubting yawls ability to work on cars but I have taken my factory exhaust, and corsa extreme exhaust by myself on jackstands… Once you get it one time you’ll never forget lol

I read somewhere that if you supercharge a LS7 you should get the proper head work done cause they tend to drop valves. If not its kinda a ticking time bomb. Idk, I just heard that somewhere.
