Those are great numbers, and I must say....that is a very clean vette.....and I liked the red lights that you have under the dash.

Yea, I swapped all the interior lighting to red LED's. Still looking for a good red gauge cluster though.

The old saying is "There is no replacement for displacement"

but there really is a replacement these days

I love boosted cars.... the last 3 cars I've driven have boost. Hell... even my Volvo Wagon has Boost

What's the cost on something like this?

Can it take a brand new CTS-V?

Seeing as my dad's talking about getting one of those, that's a question I'd like to know the answer to!

Hope the ride's better than his XLR. He loves that thing, I find the seats to be hard as rocks and the suspension to be utter slush.
