Nice winter beater! :lol:

You will have a tough time deciding which to take, sometimes modern just can't be beat. If you ever wrapped it around a tree, make sure they tow it to your house first so can pull the engine. ;)

Very :cool: :cheers:

I just love those cars! Nunus79 sold his 79 vette when he purchased his 02 Z28. He has put in less than $500 in mods (airbox, exhaust cutout, hypertech programmer) and ran a 13.2 in the 1/4 last weekend, great performance for the money. I've got to get me one of those, for the money, they are hard to beat.

Congratulations :cheers:

Very Cool!!!!!! I'd have taken a picture of my old and new but an accord next to a Vette . . . I DON'T THINK SO! :lol:

Sure hope sdixon doesn't see we bought an Accord. :eek:

Will the Z beat your Vette? Off the line? in the quarter?

The Z is a far more refined car but for sheer off the line fun acceleration the vette takes the cake!
