The Mystery Build Is Here

FordPrefect said:
all in all not bad numbers to start with, certainly a lot more than my C5 will ever see.

I'm sure the mystery owner will be more than pleased with the final numbers. Mid 400's or just under 500? Love to see it run the 1/4 at Cayuga this summer.

Wayne -- don't despair - you could have 'big numbers' too....
Manny is especially good on C5's too ya know. :D

Cayuga? wassat? sounds like an indian chief....

Not sure but I think my next best mod might be be to with lower rear end gears. I love the push of acceleration, not over fond of driving 160kph. Then again I also love the sound of a choppy cam, as I'm sure my neighbours would. Ability to pull the front wheels would be nice too, perhaps patio stones in the trunk?

Regardless the "mystery build" will be another fine example of what Manny and his crew can do.

"patio stones in the trunk" -- hey that's cheating........:rofl:

I thought you didn't worry too much about the neighbours any more. I thought you told me they all glare at you now anyway...:D

That is exactly half of Garry's 744 rwhp! How crazy is that!? It's like you put two stock-ish LS3 engines in Garry's car!

Now back to the mystery build....

Can't wait to see how this build goes and who the mystery car belongs to! Another person out west? Did I send my car without knowing it?:D.....I could only wish!

What exactly does the build entail? Is it like Polar Jets build? Do they know Polar Jet? Maybe it's a friend of his?

It seems like the mystery car and my car are very similar. Power output was pretty identical and our mods and tune are similar too. I will be watching the outcome closely to see how they compare since the build should be pretty darn similar.

I can honestly say that I do not know the owner of the mystery build.

Seriously. I do not know anyone that owns a Crystal Red Grand Sport! The only Vette friend I have with a GS is my buddy Jim and his is a 2010 black one. I swear on my car!
 
Looks like the details are starting to leak out. I knew it would only be a matter of time before someone cracked. :D

Hey Easter Bunny -- I was at Manny's today and had a look around his shop. Pics up later today.
I saw a whole bunch of cars there including that Crystal Red GS you mentioned-- Manny said the owner is anonymous and getting some minor stuff done -- or was that monogamous and getting major stuff done ...... I can't remember.:D

Also saw a nice blue C6 with a surpercharger on it and Polar Jet on the plate.
That must be the one Manny posted about -- Never met the guy tho but his car sure is nice.

Garry's was there, Carlos's was there, Manny's, the ZL-1, the FireHawk, the Caddy, the yellow roadster and many others -- awesome to see so many great cars. (see pics)

Just happened to be in the neighbourhood watching our man Duffy land at KW airport so went back to Manny's for a bit.

As Manny would say: "that's it -- I swear".

Some pics of my visit to Manny's today just b4 seeing Shawn and his crew at the airport. Man there's some nice cars sitting in Manny's shop here's a few of them: (and I'm not sure who's they are but they are nice and in varying states of 'undress' for different reasons).. :D

In no particular order:

You're very welcome SB -- It snowed here today pretty good and overall wasn't a very nice day.
Tho the snow didn't last and melted again, it really wasn't what you'd call 'vette weather.

Nice to see all those beauties at Manny's tho, gettin' ready for summer fun.:D

Some snow here as well overnight. Still some flakes in the air today. Weather forecast not as nice now for next week. Looks like winter may be holding on a little longer. Can't wait to see the mystery build unveiled when the weather warms up.
