Default New to the site.

Wanted to say hello and intoduce myself to everyone, not that we care when a new guy pops on. You can check out my new vette at www.superchargedcorvette.com. The guy that recently sold me the car built by Dallas Performance was nice enough to include the website. My existing vette is currently for sale ( locally and on several sites ). Someone should definitley buy it so I dont have to experience the Big D. JK. I cant wait to get my hands on that car. It is currently being tuned by Taylor Sims for our 91 oct and made a corrected 970 whp. He has been a pleasure to work with and seems to run a great shop. When I get it home ( Clovis) it will be tuned here locally by Evan Guyett, he is the man. See you around, Matt.

Nice car, but it is not legal to be registered in CA due to the performance modifications and lack of emissions equipment. There are ways around it (out of state plates, for one), but technically it is not street legal here in CA. Companies that sell modified performance vehicles (Hennessey, etc.) often make statements as such in the main advert. Otherwise, excellent car and presentation.

I got lucky on a couple things. The price and the plates. But we all know its not always the same rules for everyone and some can be bent. i caught the previous owner and got it for considerably less than the $95k he was asking (by over $30k). I wasnt even thinking of buying another vette but i found it on ebay and my curiosity got the best of me. I started entering bids trying to find his reserve and then all of the sudden......bam! I guess I knew i would stop if I got up to $70k. Cant wait to get it and tinker with it. Should be here in two weeks give or take. Thanks on the compliments, and I am trying to update the website with current info and working vids.

My friend that built the car has different taste than you obviously. He came down with Cirrhosis of the Liver. The car was going to be repo'd for the $17k he owed so I took it. You sound like my tuner, he is always giving me a hardtime about the flashy stuff. Anyways, the car always gets a thumbs up and its for a certain crowd. Anything to question about the replacement car? I would love your input . JK.

Yeah your replacement car is boring. Add some lambo doors, get some extra Z06 badges and get some aftermarket tail lights to add some show to the car

Question wtf?

EkS, By the look of your cars I guess the new biz didnt work out too well. Maybe that's why you have the time to come on here and be a smart guy.
Enjoy your classics............ The Chevelle is nice but whytf did you put a pic of your pimp's car on your signature too?

Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about the Lambo doors. No one will notice as long as you keep them closed. If you get too worried about it, Dukes of Hazzard it and you're golden.

That's a small price to pay for what you get in return, badass car nonetheless.
