Red- 1997 Corvette
New vette owner in Buffalo NY
I just baught a 1997 m6 and was woundering what kind of mods will give me the best bang for the buck? It already has a K&N and a Corsa exhuast but that is about it. I'd like to get it to be a consistent 12 second car. I have a wet nos system laying around and was thinking about a 100 shot? I'd still like to get it to be low 12's all engine. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks alot!
Some more pictures for you guys....what kinda dumb shit gets vette racing flags across his back ? ME hahahah :steering:
Its a 1997 m6 30,000 miles mint....the guy drove it in the rain once and i have the build sheet and original window sticker laminated.

haha. i love hearing kill stories in the buffalo area. ive actually only had one encounter and that was with a mustang supercharged svt cobra.(the 395 hp model). let me say, that thing was fast. i only had him by about a 3/4 carlength and most of that was because of the launch at the redlight. after hitting 105-110 on Transit Rd and slowly pulling on him we stopped at the up comming light and said "ur not so tough without the nitrious."i just laughed and said " if i had nitrous or a supercharger like ur car had, i wouldnt have wasted my time on a mustang". he may have the 40 hp advantage but he also weighs 500 lb more than the vettes and definately dont have the aerodynamics of a vette.
