GM has a great history with turbocharging. In fact I have a 231 cu. in v6 Turbo in my garage that is quicker than my 350 cu in lt1 AND the v6 is in a car that weighs 3500# AND gets 25 mpg hwy, plus it can seat 5, and carry 2 hockey bags in the trunk with room to spare. Buick was way ahead of...

Wrong. Obama did not tell the head of the UAW to step down did he? I am all for Wagoner "stepping down" (if that is what you want to call it) but get rid of the UAW while you are at it. Both parties are guilty. The parasite killed the host. The host was too stupid to seek treatment. I guess...

Wow talk about an old thread comming back to life! I had a guy with one of these 94 copper cars offer it as a trade for my Grand National. He ended up selling it outright. He was in MN but not sure if that is where the car ended up. Color was an attention grabber for sure. I loved it!

You must also be talking about the leaders of the UAW correct? If you point fingers at GM's management then you also must point fingers at the UAW and thier leaders. GM became a benefits company that just so happend to build cars. I dont see any one at the UAW getting asked to leave. My fear...

Stupid Question but..... Wont a picture and measurments of the emblem of a NON ZR-1 40th car give you what you want? I must be missing somthing here;shrug.

There was an interview a couple years ago with some big wig from Texas Motor Speedway and at that time, attendence was down for the fall race. I cant remeber who did the interview but they asked him about attendance and if that botherd him. This was with the chase and even with the "old car" (I...

I have to agree. Economy is part of the problem but the product NASCAR puts out is the other problem. Bad economy and a bad product dont equal revenues for NASCAR. I went to the first COT race in Bristol 2 years ago and I never thought there could be a boring Bristol race. The COT proved me...

Looking for a convertable Hard Top. Prefferably one off of a 93 Ruby Red 40th car but if not that is ok. If interested I have a set of ZR-1 style chrome rims with New Falken tires (275/40/17) to use as a trade. I can post or send a pic of the rims/tires if interested. Thanks

Do you still have parts for sale? If so Rims?

Rare does not always = more value or desireable, however if I had my choice I would take a 96 LT4 over a 93 LT-1 Ruby anyday and I own a ruby. Just because it was popular when it came out does not mean it will bring or should bring more value today. At the end of the day a ruby is a 93 Vette...

That is not "way out there" thinking at all. Gordon always wanted to run open wheel at indy and that was his dream. Tony did win the IRL championship but at that time no one cared since it was a second tier series to NASCAR. Newman and Kahne where open wheel guys just off the top of my head. And...

We are on the same page. About the only good thing I did see at Fontana was that for Driver intros, they had them go around the track in Corvette Vert's :thumb Of course Fox's awesome coverage did not show much of the cars but I did make out a Red C-2 that Kahne was in and I say a glimps of...

I enjoy just about all forms of racing. And yes, Nascar is pretty much the IROC and we all know what happend to that series..... I was a real big indy fan back in the 80's and 90's before they split. I remember going to Indy or the Milwaukee Mile and able to see a V6 Turbo Buick perform (or...

Ok, since you asked: :D Nascar started going downhil about the time the RWD G bodies were phased out. The consumer wanted FWD (I guess) and they started taking FWD car bodies and sticking them onto the old RWD platforms for nascar. Nascar has never changed or kept up with the times. Yes I like...

I passed on an LT4 Coupe last year due to the fact that it had a salvage title. I would love to own one and would rather have a 96 with an LT4 over a C-5 or C-6 anyday. I see so many C5's and now C6's and another one out there would just blend into the crowd.

What difference does it make? The only thing "chevy" on those cars are the Impalla SS decals and headlight stickers. Since none of the 4 companies that have their headlight decals plastered on the COT's, sell a pushrod, carbed 358 Cu In V8, it is very hard for anyone to tell me there is an...

The next Fontana race or the Next race of the season in Vegas????? With the COT all of the races are 90% boring. Can anyone explain why GM/Ford/Toyota and Dodge want to be involved in Nascar anymore????? Fontana is a Joke. and to think they took away a race in Darlington and sent it out there...

That is right, everyone deserves a Corvette, if they can afford it or not. Just like te joys of home ownership. The newsflash is that extending credit to people that could not and should not get it is what has caused this problem. I am glad they at least pulled that idiotic idea from this...

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!!!! Giving people the ability to deduct interest expense on a vehicle that they probably should not be buying is a stupid idea. New or Used. I love that when people say that about a house. "I can deduct the interest". Hey if you pay down the debt you wont pay any...

Thanks. I never thought of the gear. What about the intake idea? I did see somwhere a vendor had a "stock" open air cleaner cover. I would think somthing like that would do the same thing as a CAI, but without and exhaust/head/rocker or cam mods would it really help? The SLP intake looks cool...
