laugh or cry....
I bought my 01,,drive it couple of years and went mod crazy with it. WALDEN built engine. N02, heads, cam, 4.10 gears...etc etc...
made one hell of a beast out of it. best sounding/camming vette ive ever had...maybe even heard.
drove it like that few years....ZERO problems.
today I drove it home with a new LS1...Stock. Only mod now is a blackwing and ill change that as soon as I get a stock filter set-up.
what a weird feeling....on top of that tonight MIGHT be first time ive drove car in a year or more.
last year i broke the tranny output shaft and just gave up on car for while....I hauled it into the dealer i work at and swapped it all over.
Was fun while it lasted....maybe again one day.
things we do......
