I love FI cars, but I don't think I could ever do that to my C6Z. If anything, I'd probably sell it and grab a low mileage ZR1 if I just had to have an FI car these days.

I hear you...been lusting after ZR1's since the came out. But "I HAD TO HAVE" an NA 427. If I was in still in SoCal, I'd have probably snatched up a ZR1 at this point...some deals on those cars as of late are just unreal. Here in HI, I simply don't have the room...damn I miss my 3 car garage. Here, it would have to be either or, and I'm simply not willing to part with my C6Z at the moment.
How hard is to get those trucks to hook? Do you need to throw some sand bags in the bed to get enough weight over the rear end??

Z build is coming along nice. Congrats on your upcoming marriage. I love Lightnings....have had 5 of them! Two of them were true blue...my favorite color on a Lightning!! I have been trying too buy the last true blue back...but the guy won't come off it. I can't blame him....they are sweet trucks and getting tougher to find in good condition for a fair price.
