Thanks for the kind words John. (And the rest of you) That C5's paint job was out there. Not for me.

I did consider,and more than likely will go to a 420 short block(with my current set up on top, heads-intake) The 383 is definitely coming out. I figured while it is, upgrade, as long as the price is reasonable. If it isn't, then the 383 stays.

:cheers:

420 :eek:

The blue , I am sure, attracts much more people to the car.

I just got home with the car from a predominantly F-body car show. It was up in Farmington(CTFBA/MBA show). I followed my friend Frank up with his LPE-IROC,and parked next to Him. Soooo many people asked which blue it was, I explained how the car was red etc. Not one single person said to switch it to Red and that the blue was better. My friend Frank loves red...but does like the blue and said it's what brings people by to check the car out.

Are you for real? :jester I did EVERYTHING on this car 'cause I WANTED TO and for ME! Getting feedback is fun. That's all it is. In the end, it's the person who owns the car's final decision. I will openly admit, I am one to frequently change my mind...I've always been that way.
