How many ways are there to say...

[Roadster Fan]

Bob........remember when Lou brought up waving the starter flag for a big block vs small block race at the Cruise Fest. Got me to wondering about our cars. Some questions for ya:

What size rear tires do you have on her?

Have you weighed her?

Have you dyno'd her? Curious as to your torque curve vs my "race motor"

Are you gonna run her at the track at Cruise Fest?


Just wondering out loud

in time for the Carlisle Infield 63-67 Sting Ray Registry Drag Races..!!!

Hmmm, this I gotta see! and, just when I thought they had nixxed the idea of the burnouts at Carlisle..........

Bob, glad you are following the break-in procedure carefully. I think the directions say to only use 300 of the 502 cu.in. for the first 500 miles......

I guess I'd better bring my mud tires.

Yes. Z28Canuck and I spent some time with a sliderule and calculated that just below 2/3 throttle equals 300 cu.in. Then, I placed an appropriately-sized wood block below the accelerator............still scared myself.

Rich,

Speaking of eggs, I took my painter for a short blast last evening. I think he laid an egg.......at least he was clucking like it.

A few more comments from today's short driving adventure.

1. I've been reading threads about how the ricers and Mustangs are making many Corvette owners crazy with their swooping in for a race and fly-bys. So far, the only reaction I'm getting is a combination of curiosity and fear. You know, that deer-in-the-headlights look. Ain't nobody swooping........

2. I dropped by the local Sunoco for a 94-Octane fill-up around 4:30 this afternoon. There were at least another 10 cars at the pumps, or waiting in line. Now I know how Halle Berry feels walking into a room full of deprived men. The funniest reactions were from the very-married men filling up their minivans. :eek Do they love me or do they hate me?

3. After filling her up, I stepped inside and fired her up. Heart attacks all round. Poof, and I'm gone Who was that masked man?

This much fun shouldn't be legal.

Do they love me or do they hate me?

Yeah I get that too.. when I go to the local fill em up. This is a Gulf Gas station with 10 pumps and the only one in the ares close by for the whole township.

When I rumble in for gas ..I get the looks... I fuel up as quick as possable and get the hell out of their. If not.... I get the 20 question routine.. and the rev em up's from the resident riser croud that hangs out their.

But after they hear the side pipes at start up .....they put there ears down and tail between their legs...:L

When Kevin gave me the test drive experience in the C5, I called it "Wide Monkey F#cking Open"..

think others refer to it as "WOT"
