GB, regarding the FRCs.... I like that idea but on LS2 covers with all the raised lettering smoothed out

Sent you a PM...

Good call except.... I use my HUD exclusively. I only look down to cycle through the DIC

When are the new wheels you purchased going on?

I'll be in your fine state for a couple days this week.....maybe I'll see "Grond" cruising down 91.

At least I can laugh about it now...

Seriously though, I really do not own a credit card. I pay for everything via debit card. So if the funds are not in my bank account, I cannot afford it and therefore cannot buy it.

I saw the white face gauge faces on GB Vette's car and I love that look

Seems like a lot of money going into Your C5!! But I guess You think it's worth it or You wouldn't be doing it!

I agree with You on the C6 styling, but what about the LS7 engine, instead of the LS2. I believe in displacement!!

Are You going to have GROND at CI-VII??

It's just money - I cannot take it with me, ere the end....

Regarding the LS7 - why??? I'm making 450hp at the crank right now with a 346ci motor. The LS2 will be making a bit more. The LS7 is fine for some I guess, but it does nothing for me personally.

Regarding CI 7 - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...2&forum_id=103
