I can't say that I wouldn't do some ridiculous stuff to a Vette if I had that kind of money.

Steve I never picked on you.I questioned the hp levels of 1360 horsepower.Your valvetrain cannot put out those numbers.Thats my only problem with your car. The rest of it looks first class. No reason to over exag the power numbers.Yes the whipples can put out some power but your going to need alot more cam .You always get defensive I dont.

You know, the more I study Merlin, the more I really like it (and I'm a NCRS type). You might say it grew on me. If it were mine I might have done a few things differently. Different seats, loose the rear wing and choose a different hood. Otherwise, it's a pretty bad-@ss ride. I mean you have gotta love that powerplant, it is a vert, cool roll bar and oh sooo black!

Yep! $70K, swap a few parts and I'd be happy to have it in my garage next to Shark81
