Re: What do you consider your car? (joecaver)
Modified, but looks stock.
Untill last Sep. I was running a stock 350 with a mild CompCam, 1.52:1 roller rockers, no Cat, gutted AIR, 180 stat, swapped out Crossfire for single dual TBI (220), dual exhaust, and Flowmasters.
The exterior was stock except for a rear louver by Craiger painted Lt. Bronze to match.
Now I've built a 383 stroker, with P&P Vortec Heads, 9.5:1, CompCam roller cam, line bored & decked 89 block, GMP Parts Vortec TBI manifold (until $$ for TPI is available), 1 5/8" Headman long tube, 2,25" X-tube, MSD 6A w/ rev limiter, and custom chip.
I'm slowly finishing the job, the engine is in; I'm hooking everything up.
I vote for a sleeper!
:sleep: :sleep:
:chevy :chevy :chevy
Oh yea; I've kept all the original parts so I can put it back to stock. Right now I can't see why, but I could. :jester :jester

Re: What do you consider your car? (No Ordinary 91)
Hey, also noticed your smoke-free operation. I've been off the cig for about 5 months now. It's tough at first, but hang in there. It gets easier every day. I made a substitute to help: every time I wanted a smoke I found something to do on the car... Even if it was vacuuming or cleaning the glass. Trust me, my car looks bad azz and I feel kick azz. I don't even think about them anymore. The best decision I ever made was quitting, good for you and GOOD LUCK!! :yesnod:

Re: What do you consider your car? (No Ordinary 91)
My car has a roaring, screaming, resonating exhaust system. It can give you a head-ache, but it's dang awesome. A few weeks ago after school, I was in our senior parking lot, there was this Asian kid with his riced up Honda, and there's me, an Asian kid sitting in his Corvette. So ... I rev the thing up into the yellow, and he looks over, with a scared, or amazed look. I laughed, i got out of the car a few seconds later and asked one of my friends if he tried to rev it, he did, i just couldn't hear it. hahahaha. :lol:

Mild mods, and everybody can hear it. The exhaust mod was elims, so it's easy to hear this one coming. Right now, L98Terror is changing the gears from the stock 2.59 to 3.55's. I can't wait to get it on the track next season. My best times with the 2.59 gears are shown below.
