So you need a special race just for you because Obama Motors stuck a half ass rear end in their flagship car? Gotcha.

Thought that was rhetorical because GM's suck; but yes, you know I can launch a car on pretty much any tire, BUT at what cost to tear the damn car apart to do it.. Clutch jobs on Vettes are near 2 grand, not an easy swap in the garage like a Stang...

Since it's my wife's baby, I chose not to break anything. It's good to go all day from a slow roll though...

I still think we should run, Don got me by a car to 135ish... I found a cam I really want to throw in it though. (Same one Will has).

By that you mean a cam and a four stage 400 shot, right? lol.

Nah, she doesn't like nitrous... Cam, headers, and maybe an intake, and some 243s if I can find another set cheap like I put on my 99. That should get it around 420 or so which is what my 99 woulda been with headers. Still gotta talk her into all of it of course.
