Well, no longer a Corvette owner...
After doing the math and spending the last few days mulling it over... I decided to get rid of my '94 Corvette. It just was going to be way too much money than I was willing to spend just to get it running right. I think I decided that when I figured out that it was going to need an engine rebuild or replacement for it to truly be right.
So... I got rid of it and got a more sensible daily driver car to go with my Z28. I got a 2001 Impala LS. That's right... a 4 door family car sedan. Don't laugh... But at least it has all the bells and whistles, power everything, leather, moonroof, dual climate zones, 'control center' on the mirror, etc.
And yes... that means the Z28 will be staying in my garage. So... when's the next track day?

Welcome back from the dark side Jason! The next TnT date I hope to go to is April 14th @ B-town. That should give you ample time to get the Impala into the 12s.

April 14th, huh? Well then... I better order my new Hoosier DRs pronto. Where'd you get yours from? I think I'm going to go with the 255-50-16s so they'll fit on the wheels I have.

I bought mine thru Schwabbie. The price from Summit was $400 / pr plus shipping & then I'd have to get them mounted & balanced. I paid $500 thru Schwab delivered, mounted, balanced, & with their warranty (warranty on racing tires, LOL).

Congrats Jason! My Father-in-law got a '04 and he LOVES it! It's the first Chevy he's ever owned and he says it's the best car he's ever had.
So are you keeping your Camaro now?

And yes, I will be keeping the Camaro. And I should be completing the parts I need for a complete nitrous install here pretty soon, so hopefully in the next few weeks you'll be seeing it at Speed Secrets.
