Looks like you have too many Vettes cluttering up. I suppose I could take one off your hands. It's a hardship, but I'd do it for a buddy...

There is alot of potiental in my garage right now, the car on the left is my 99 6 speed and is probably the fastest 6 speed 346 nitrous car in the country. The middle car is a customers car and getting a full upgrade from engine to suspension. The car on the right is a 00 auto and goes 11.2-11.3 with bolt ons and a cam.

What a great response, I don't have anything to prove here. My performance speaks for itself. It appears to me as if you have some type of jealousy issues you need to deal with. I can understand where your coming from as I was there a couple of years ago.

Exactly what kind of "cam and bolt-ons does it take to go 11.2-11.3 with an A4 C5?

Sam has a 233/239 TSP cam in his automatic + all of the normal bolt-ons.

Thanks for the info. I'm really interested in an '02 or '03 Z06 and would like to have a reliable driver running DEEP into the 11's with ease and maybe creeping into the high 10's. Am I dreaming, as far as keeping it "reliable"? What would you suggest as far as mods?

Purely from the not wanting to wait to build perspective - see all that "stuff" to the right? (is that a door folded up over there?). Install some overhead wire bins that bolt up to the beams. Unless you are 6'5" you won't walk into them. The back wall same deal - coated wire shelves up high where you can grab stuff fast and shove it away just as fast.
I can also see where the blue tool holder thingie can be framed into the wall like you would a window - it will be at least 6" deep from where it is now and it doesn't look like it has wheels (as in you don't seem to roll it).

You have plenty of room for now, just start pulling the permits for that shop so next year you can let it look like a six year olds room where two of everything is thrown into piles...with some 'floor' peeking through

Its all good. What are you talking about with the Blue tool holder thingie? The Blue thing between the 2 cars is a tig welder and the door folded up is probably the roll cage that is getting installed this week. Thanks for the tips though

Ceeeeeripes! I even had my glasses on while looking at the picture. From *here* it doesn't look like a TIG and it looks like fold up closet doors on the right (I need to squint more I guess).

While waiting for my garage & shop the only way to clear room were the overhead wire bins. Got em' somewhere off the internet for half the price Lowes or Home Depot charges ($39 4x4x4). Pretty amazed at the weight they can hold, adjustable height as well. Used to have the plastic shelf one you have on the right wall (that *is* plastic, right?) along the entire wall at one point but got tire of crap falling off it - pared to one section next to the fridge in the corner. Anytime you can frame in a section for storage is always a good thing, we don't have kids but if we did their crap would get stuffed into them after moving to the real garage.

Hey! Where IS the fridge??????? Gotta keep that beer cold somehow!
