Well, it's a bummer to see one Vette go but you are certainly trading up! Show us more pictures when you get it.

I have thought the same thing. It would go 6's with a clutch and somebody good tuning it.

John it's a beautiful car. But it is nothing but a race car. I can not relate my C3 to that car. You have gone beyond all of us. Anything you do to it can not be compared to anything we could do.
Good luck at the track

Your right Norval, it is a race car...but it will see the streets down here until I get a ticket or two.
I may to try and swing keeping the C-3...will be a bit of a money crunch but we will see. I would probably detune the motor a little.
