Default Paid off the TA and bought a Vette!!

Now I really feel like an enthusiest! I own a high 6-second 1/8 mile / 10 second TA and now I have a 99 Vette!! I promise I am not going to mod this one up!! Very nice, and I love it, only paying $300 a month for it! I read that this motor has a 350 ci, does that still make it an LS1??

I think it has the same 346 LS1 as your T/A has? so the same mods apply!

So you own a bad T/A and don't know what motor is in the Vette? This is kind of weird, but yes they are the same motors.

some people, girls especially, may have a fast car, but really dont know a thing about them. they just buy the parts, and pay to have them installed. i know of one in particular. 40yo, seems to make alot of money, owns an 11 sec. Z28. can rattle off every part she bought for it, but cant change a tire to save her life

Pics coming soon after I take some!! No, for a chick, I know A LOT about my TA; I can do some mechanical work that some GUYS do not even know how to do. I was just very confused because I KNOW they are LS1's, but it says "350" all over the paperwork. Weird. Maybe several typos?? Yea, I can race and know about my car, and can back it up. Most cannot. Not modding the "Vette" though. At least, not for now.

Most idiot car dealers think 5.7 = 350 Cubic inches. Don't believe everything you read. You know more than they do, I'm sure.

I was at a Chevy dealer this weekend and they had a terminator next to a vette and I asked him if the supercharger still has the stock pulley on it and he says he wasn't sure but lets open the hood and take a look. He proceeds to open up the door to the vette to pull the hood latch.

It turned out it wasn't even a terminator. Just had a cobra emblem on it.
