Re: C3 Forum Time Saver (Neo Fender)
Don't do a search and just post I did a search but didn't find anything.
Plus here are a couple of forum rules to live by too;
My friend says = This is what I think but am afraid to admit it.
If you want to insult someones post because it dumb wait and let some other jerk do it first then join in the mob attack.
If you don't agree with someone or if they prove your wrong just insult them and call them bubba.
Always claim your car is faster than it really is. :lol:

"Cut 3/4 of each coil"
That was the one I was thinking of.
460's in the front, cut 3/4 coil. 340lb mono in the rear, make sure to get the right shocks.
Don't get the one piece Thompson Astro top, get the replacement 2 piece tops, much better.
Yes you will need adapters to run C4/C5 wheels. Call Vette Brakes.

Be Cool and Spal's solve all cooling problems.

Re: C3 Forum Time Saver (SharkAttack)
pull a 350 out of a 65 biscayne, deck it and restamp it.
be carefull, the whole thing will fall apart and you will die if you try something different.
get the 7500 dollar paint job because it will be worth it and you really didn't want to drive it anyway. If it takes them 3 years to paint it so much the better.
everyones car is superfast, veryfast or fast. never admit you drive a turtle
oh, and circumventing the forum censor will result in lost points.
