My Father is the proud new owner of a blk/blk XLR-V. He picked it up today in KC, MO. He brought it over to my house tonight and wow....am I impressed with its looks to begin with. I took it on a quick loop, out a back road to a major interstate, replete with cloverleaf interaction. :yesnod
Never took it above 4k rpm to ensure proper break in...and reminded him of all that was necessary as OCD car nuts go...hehe...but I was quite impressed with its low end grunt.
I want to know though....the intake looks restrictive, and the stock manifolds, while not bad (similar to Z06 manifolds) - look like they would benefit from some 1.75 in. long tubes.
How about cat-backs available for the XLR? I am sure he'd want something quiet and not obnoxious like my Z06 (Borla Stinger), what all is out there that is quiet but would give him a nice gain?
I'd want to do intake/headers/exhaust and a dyno-tune and then have them drop the car about an inch....perfect!! Seems like it should be easy to go from 440 and some change (crank) to 480 or 490 with some freer breathing...
Hook a Vette guy up with the scoop as far as the right mods to do with this thing...
Ill try and post pics within the next day or two....
