Ummm.. Someone put RICE on your driveway. No, I'm just pullin your leg! Welcome to the Forum and I'm glad to see that Kara still has a Vette. It is really cool to see the ladies take an interest in the Vettes and the Forum. My wife drives a Cavalier...nuff said

Welcome to the insanity!
I have read that eliminating the single exhaust and restrictive cat can net upto a 25% HP gain. Don't know how true that is, but I know I could "feel" a real difference in my lo-po 75 L-48 when the exhaust system was opened up. FWIW.
Lots of luck w/your new money pit.

Those are fast little cars! That little 76 vette that kman has is faster then it feels! I was following a race between two Ls1 ss's, one was mine, and that car kept up!

I am going with black probably. Really like the color on your stingray. THought about that. It will be a while before it is painted. I bought the car on ebay for 7500 and now I am dealing with title issues. Good title but the car has been through alot of hands without the title going in their names. Just alot of signatures on the back. The title place is being buttheads over it. So first thing is to straighten out the title
