Hi, this is a nice quiet 80 vette with cold air, it runs 12.40@118mph. Haven't had the guts to try the nitrous at the track yet with the drag radials.

Thanks for the kind words. Les you're right, it's not stock. I bought the car new in the fall of 79. I built the 406 and switched to 373 gears in 84. Except for the headers, it looks bone stock. I work near the FORD plant here in Indianapolis, and I loved smokin' 5.0 Mustangs in the 80's and 90's and now the new Cobra's and Gt's.
