its almost enough to make a guy want to scoop one up unless of course that thing has an LT5 underhood?

He doesn't need more power, he barely accelerates in the thing as it is.

He's busy trying to fix his Busa (that he broke.. ahahahahahaha... aaahhahaha... hahaha... Ok, sorry, anyway..), but I'm sure he'll chime in once he's done. IIRC, he has a '94 LT1. Not sure if that answers your question...

He had a *rawr!* boy moment and f'ed up the clutch (because he didn't clean off the salt from the Bonneville salt flats.. master cylinder seized up.. he tried to force it.. it broke). This was September when it broke. He's only just now finally fixing it.

Well, the shop gave him the wrong part initially. He finally got the new part a few weeks later.. I just tend to eat up most of his weekend time.

Ha-ha! You answered as I was trying to post the question.


"Hey now, goddammit!" is Trace's trademark phrase.
