I'm gonna be sick to....if this happens uuuughhhh...a sports wagon??? I think I'm gonna be sick too......By the way, does Ward's AutoWorld have a website? I can't find it on newstands here where I'm at. max

Hey, that sheet is pretty cool, but if you could email me a bigger pic, I'd appreciate it, along with any other info that you have. My email is listed in the member profile, but if you'd like, I can private message you. Thanks for the input Rare81. max

Seeing as how my Vette turned 20 this year, I was just wondering if it's possible to use the VIN to find out the exact day, or get close to the day it rolled off the assembly line. If any fellow Vetter's know of a book or website that will help me find my car's birthday, I'd appreciate the info...

ZZ502 would be impressive, but they could cut costs by using a modified 8.1L (496) from the new GM HD pickups. I'm sure they could tweak it for Corvette use, and get some serious HP!!! :) For the C6 generation, I'd like to see "The Return of the Shark," meaning, I'd like to see GM go back to a...

well, a guy can dream :)

wasn't the Corvette Indy aka CERV III prototype a mid-engine design as well? you can see pictures of the prototypes at: http://www.idavette.net/prototyp.htm I would like to ask if GM is ever going to give the Big block another chance. Could you imagine a vette with an offshoot of the new 8.1L...

Actually, the motor is in my brother's pickup. It's 1993 GMC 1/2 ton, ext. cab, 6" lift, 35" tires, 4x4. etc.(it's a pretty sweet truck) His torque converter went out 2 months after the install of the motor, then his transmission went out. His new transmission was put in, but the people who did...

Now, I know an original stock vette is pretty cool, but modified vettes, especially sleepers, are also nice too. My question is this: I have a pretty good line on a 383, balanced and blueprinted, etc. What would it take to put it into my '81? Would my stock manifolds fit? or should I do headers...

Ksems, my vette had a crappion :), I mean Clarion in it when I got it. Whoever put it in wired it all wrong, and had some junk 6x9" speakers in the back and stock speakers in the dash and a Sony 250W amp. I wasn't satisfied with the clarion, so I got a JVC cassette deck with a 12 disc changer...

for the 50th ann. vette you could use: gld vet - gold vette (isn't gold for 50th wedding anniversaries?) or gldn vt or 50sswt - 50's sweet gdtb50 - good to be 50 or something :) . I picked ShrkAtk for mine, so I'm running out of ideas. max

John, I have a k&n on my '81. While I can't tell any difference or gain in hp, like they claim, I still feel it's worth the money. I do think it breaths better, allows more airflow. Also, unlike regular air filters, you don't have to buy a new one all the time, you just clean your k&n every...

DC, thanks for the info!!! Do you have the article anywhere? or know where I can get it? Also, do you know of any websites dedicated to the car? I would like to find out all I can about them. Anywho, thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. Max

Were turbos dealer options? Or some secret Factory Option we weren't told about? Look at this car I found, too bad there's not much information on it. I'm determined now to uncover the secret truth of the Turbo C3 :) It's out there, and I'm gonna find it...

Thnx for the link. Hey, do you think you could fit two turbo's under the hood of an '81? One is fine, but two, that would just be awesome. I'm still searching the net for info, I'll let you all know what I find. max

search??? I tried searching, and it doesn't seem to be working. I get an error message. Could be my computer, it fritzes out sometimes. I've looked all over the internet for turboed vettes from the 80's, but have yet to find something. They have to be out there somewhere, because they made a...

I'm continuing to read my book, the same that revealed the ZL-1 to me. It's one of the best corvette history books I've ever read or seen. Anyways, it says in 1979, McLellan's engineers tried combining fuel injection with an AIResearch TO3 turbo on an L-48. HP went from 195 to 280 or 290. That...

After looking at all the wonderful ideas, I think I'm getting closer to making a pick. I definatley like: ShrkAtk 1FnShrk LvmyL81 Just thought of another one, DlyDrvr for daily driver. But I think I'm looking into ShrkAtk as my first option. Hopelessly addicted to this forum :) which is a...

Tom, I believe the plate was from Texas, so I'm sure you could try it in Ohio. So many ideas to choose from!!! It's hard to pick a favorite. How about: L81Shrk or SwtL81 - sweet L81 Cruzn81 Mxdot81 - maxed out 81 FlynLow 1FnRide Everyone here is an inspiration, I can't stop thinking of plate...

For the benefit of others, the key to the BMW license plate is to read it backwards. Very clever idea. Took me a long time to figure it out too. :) I'm pretty stuck on Shrk Atk for know, but all the other ideas are great too. I thought about implying something about the power of a corvette, but...

those are some good ones. I definately like Shark Attack, but I only get 7 characters so it'd have to be ShrkAtk, which would definately be fine by me. I'm definately gonna look into that one, cause you don't really have to back it up. '81's aren't good to get into a situation with, they're for...
