    What car wax/polish do you use?

    Autozone carries Liquid Glass. It has been around forever. I started using it several years ago after being disappointed by many of the latest and greatest products.

    crossfire intake

    1st time Vette owner in Illinois

    Welcome Congrats on your purchase. Your friends are showing their ignorance. The crossfire can be alot of fun in a street car. It's simple to work on and was designed to make alot of low and mid-range torque. The over all performance is better than many expect by just looking at the hp...
