Congratulations on the new vette and that gorgeous house!!! Wow!!

You know, with a few mods, you can outdo your old Trans am and still keep the comfort aspect as well. We all know that vette won't stay the way you bought it for long. Have fun!!!

Thanks guys

We have been lucky/smart with our recent moves over the past two years. If this house continues to appreciate like our last home we'll be moving again.

Nice car. Now you will get the Mod fever and you can't take anything to get rid of it. Well maybe low on funds would work.

Thanks guys what a great welcome!

It'll take quite a bit of work to get the vette as fast as the formula.

The formula ran 11.0s@126-127 naturally aspirated on a crappy 1.65 sixty. The car would run 10.6-10.8's with good hook NA.

Are there many folks from Ontario on the forums here?
