haha. thanks. no, actually steve did the majority of the work plus used his garage. i talked to Sam and the guys up at JJ’s about what rotors to get ect and what all was involved in the conversion but Steve did most of it so he gets props. i’m really happy with the outcome though.

oh really?..thanks for that info.

but anyways. i said z06 wana-be because i wanted the motor converted to a factory ls6, and then i now have z06 wheels and calipers. so thats about all the z06-type mods i can do to it, but i also added the SLP suspension so next up i just have to have Sam put my heads on to fnish my motor.

It looks damn good, nice work.

And yes, the Z06 calipers do look similar but are actually a bit stronger. Under hard road course use the LS1 calipers will spread over time, the Z06 (well I should say C5 calipers because all C5 calipers, Z06 or not, are the same) calipers are less prone to do this. They will too if over-worked enough. But it takes longer and more abuse.
