Well I got the car guys. And man is it a beast! The sound is amazing and the looks I get with the targa off are priceless. The only problem now is getting her to hook 1-4 pull is nothing but wheel spin. Not a bad thing to have that much power but it's not good either lol

Well been getting the hang of my new toy. First thing is tires. I need some rears BAD! Then maybe a shifter. It has to be the toughest one I've ever driven. Thinking of going with a nice b&m shifter in the coming weeks. After I freshen the motor with a little tune up it'll be a nice ride. I even got a FREE tinted glass top today as well. All it took was me installing my bosses veraram on his c6Z and it was mine. Not a bad deal if you ask me.
