Took old crispy out for a quick drive today
 

The weather was great (70F and sunny in North TX) and I got off of work early, so I decided to drive the old 88 for a bit and play with the gopro overlays.

Is anyone else using a GoPro hero? I'm looking for some different "stickers" (speed reading, etc).

I hope I wasn't the only one out enjoying this beautiful weather...

Sounds awesome..

What is it?

It's just an old 88 coupe that's about as light as I can get it, on some sticky tires, with a procharger and a carburetor.

Ahhhh.. That explains it.

:cheers:

Way to enjoy your (moded) C4.

Rowed through a few gears in the '89 too.

Thinking of hooking mine up in the Vette. Haven't used it in a few years as I've been into DSLR's .

That's a pretty fast 88.

Used a base go pro a few yrs back with none of the goodies, wind noise was a pita to overcome.
WasOk for walkaround clips, interior mounts but never got the filter to mount it outside to get accurate sound under power, too bad

Have a procharger on my 93 6spd.

give me some weight reduction tips?

and what tires are giving you traction thru all that !

(we are in this together - need to defeat newer vettes)

Rippin!!

Car looks fun.

I assume you have it bare bones inside for weight?

What gears? Seem lower than stock to me.

now thats how I remember corvettes from the old days..just plain fast. No wonder your smiling. great video..

A carb....that thing everyone scoffs at? lol

What did you do for a fuel system?

Any pics? Cool ride. I've always had fuel injected toys, but I've seen my dad make carbs rock n roll. Cool.

You don’t mind the 4+3 tranny?
bump for pics of the car!

The 4+3 has been holding up, but I know it wont last forever.

I have a black tag ZF6 with a McLeod twin disc waiting to go in. I just need time to get it done.

Do you still have the overdrive portion hooked up?

Yes, and it had seen quite a few WOT upshifts with the clutch depressed. That's the only reason it's still alive.

The car made 460rwhp/450tq before. I've added another 4psi boost, leaned it out from 10.5:1 to 11.5:1AFR and added 4° timing plus a 100 shot. There is no telling how much power it is making now.
