So, what have I had done?
- H&R Arbs on hard setting
- KW coilover spring kit
- Custom 3" exhaust with X-pipe and secondary decat
- BMC air filters
- MRC Remap and gearbox map
Wow. What a difference. It's gone from a quiet, rather sedate car that felt heavy and a little dim witted in the bends, to a proper weapon. Lovely deep roar on WOT and a baritone rumble on tick-over, without sounding OTT. Acceleration is much more instant, and at the higher ends of the rev range it just flies. It can't be too far off my Stage 4 GTR with 650 horses. Handling and turn-in are much improved, car feels much lighter in the bends, much flatter with less roll, responding much more quickly to steering inputs. Overall the car is transformed and is now a car that I can't wait to drive again. Also, and most importantly, it closes the gap between the C7 so much that I'm no longer bothered about a change until my car is much older and getting tired. It's honestly that good.
Anyone considering modding their C6, but hesitant to do so, I thoroughly recommend going for it. It's a total transformation and makes the C6 a formidable road car, that now goes, turns and sounds like it should. Just brilliant.
Big thanks to Doug at MRC, as always.
