I'm getting a new Vette !
It's been a little while since I've been on the forum so let me start by saying hello to all.
I also am the proud father of my 2nd son Daniel : 3 months old now.
I am buying a 96 LT4 collector edition with 18k miles at a fair price. Should have it in a week just gave them a deposit to hold it untill i get some funds to pay for it.
Question: what size rotors come on the 96?
I will be putting my 90 up for sale if anyone is interested. you cann check it out on my web site and i will post it in that forum.
:cheers: :cheers:

How's it going ? Haven't seen you on the forum for months.
I was asking Beach Bum about you. You are one of the faster TPI's on the forum.
Good luck on the new Vette.

Re: I'm getting a new Vette ! (90vette)
Steven, I love it when a guy takes charge and makes his dreams come true! I know that you have lusted after an LT4 practically since they were new. So I guess this means the new job is going well, congrats.
When do the mods start?
Oh yeah, since we are talking about car purchases, if I am successful, wait till you see what I am in negotions to buy from another forum member. I'll wait until its a done deal - but when you hear the thunder of the heavens just outside your front door, you'll know its just me bringing my new toy over to play. This will make 5 cars for me, which is too many, so I'll be looking for new owners for the two '67 El Caminos.

Re: I'm getting a new Vette ! (90vette)
Vic thanks, are you the new guy that beach was telling me has a faster stock L98 than me? You are running some good times!
Green rocket i will be calling you tomorrow with the vin #. It's not a GS but it is the collector addition with the LT4, and yea i have wanted one for a long time. I'll miss the 90.
So what are you buying NOW? Let me now if you need a good driver at the track.

Re: I'm getting a new Vette ! (90vette)
Once again, congrats on the plan coming together.
You'll need more than just being a good driver for my new toy - do you have your NHRA Comp License yet? Ready to make some license passes? Your jaw will drop and you'll have a crazy grin when you see it, I'm sure you will like it :)
Oh yeah, as I read your posts and think about a new user name for you...well, I'm thinking that "Malaprop man" would be good - gotta do some spell checking before you post. Addition/Edition; well, its one of those 'tions. Reminds me of a butcher of language that I used to work with; one day he used "betrailed" where "betrayed" would have been the word. I almost corrected him until I realized how well his made up word got the point accross. In your case it is an "addition" to the collection!

Re: I'm getting a new Vette ! (90vette)
Thomas now knock that off, Don't be teasing me now.
Well if I am going to be needing a license it will have to be runnining nines or better. And you know I would not argue with you on driving something that fast! So is it long and narrow? :yesnod:

Re: I'm getting a new Vette ! (90vette)
But its just so fun to tease you :) Its not long and narrow, its a rather blunt instrument, its a door car, it has plates even - but it is a bit on the overmotored side (you know, when too much is just about right). Just to make your head spin a little: it is actually "mild" for what it could be. Soon man, soon you shall see...but in the meantime I'll just let you go nuts trying to figure it out.
