gmendoza Posted October 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 love to see the Esprit still keeps up the pace of the late model Corvette Z06.... the sounds are amazing! That Corvette is no where near stock. It has about twice the hp than it had when it left the factory. I would consider my car mildly modded. I have a Red ECU, upgraded wastegates, Blitz boost controller set at 12psi, no cats, dump valves and water injection. Although I just found out yesterday that I was spraying too much water costing me hp instead of gaining any.
