So, what did you run and what did he run on that pass? Tell me what his e.t. and speed was and I'll tell you if he was an LT1 or an LS1 version. I'm guessing the engine setup you described would put you into the mid 12s. Am I right?

I think my best of the day was a 12.08 not bad for diving the car there (1 hr) and driving back home after and it being an all steel full interior car!!

Sly.......heads up on why I haven't been getting much work done on your car.....
.....I have been trying to chase Trishy around the cars...
No....we have pics coming.Been working on yours,the other 69,detailing the 63,and doing some mechanicals on it,and trying to work w/Trish on my webpage.Not enough hours in the day......
I got some battery disconnect off the big brown truck that you ordered yesterday afternoon.

And yes, I will wait just like everyone else has and the rewards will be great!!!
I have nothing but respect for Kevin and his talents, and even if I only get limited driving time this year there are many other years waiting for me in the future!!!
Nice secretary there Kev!!! She looks very proficient!!!
Sorry the batt. disconnect was a suprise. I forgot I ordered it!!! (CRS) If you are too busy please just mount the sensor and I will take care of the rest. Pretty trick item, isn't it?

vettebuyer......that is probably the BEST picture of the paint on this car.It needs redone.It looks good from a distance,but if you get right up on....hell....even 10 feet...she has mucho flaws.I am going to redo it this coming winter.This is my first vett convertible that I have had in the summer,and trying to enjoy it before it gets all torn apart.
