Default 3 day fun run

Me and a friend loaded up Monday morning enroute to Indianapolis Indiana to pic up a pristine 2001 triple black convertible. This car was immaculate and loaded with lots extras. TPE wide fenders CCW's. More mods than I can get into. Stopped by the National Corvette Museum and then hit Nashville yesturday.Thanks to Marc at Vettenuts for suggesting a little cafe in Bell Buckle Tennessee and a scenic route we had an enjoyable trec back to Alabama.

Hands down the vert. Lingfelter ported heads, cam, fast intake, RPM transmission, headers, underdrive pully. Dynoed at 430 hp. I'm basically stock. One big plus the vert is riding on stance coilovers. The ride is amazing. I have C6Z shocks Sways and springs. Night and day difference in the ride quality. My next upgrade.
