It's tough to be vette-less so long! 
I love those wheels!

I happen to like my auto this time around (taller gears also help!! 
). My last two Vettes were manuals and being in the real estate field, it easier to drive and talk to clients!
I can't wait to get this puppy to the track! She is quick!!
Someone asked about the headlights, I believe they are from Breathless performance and run around $1k. I've seen some actually paint part of the inside to match the color of their car.

Please explain how your 68 f body was a "dragster".

Looks like your lame attempt to call me out backfired, so don't call me a troll without having the slightest idea what you're talking about
I'll repeat the question... please explain what a f body dragster is. It seems that you are the one that does not have the slightest idea what your typing. A 400 inch Pontiac with a RAIV cam is hardly a "fast" car. Get a grip he-man. Maybe daddy was driving a 2.73 geared c-5 and was afraid to hurt jr's new car.
