Id prolly dump the SS, simply bc you arent gonna use it. The longer it sits the more it will depreciate.

Yea, I wouldn't really put much of it into the V except for the maggie, but I don't think it needs it. It makes great power for a daily, I don't need another project so it's a fine line. A maggie would be awesome, but I don't a headache either. Confused.

you could turbo the V

, I know what you mean about a fine line and not wanting issues. Im sure whatever you do with it will be sweet

If I were in your situation with the kind of vehicles you have i'd buy a nice Silverado for the convince of having a truck you can actually tow/have for whatever you need to haul, parts, stuff for the house etc.

I actually have a 99 Z71, I keep forgetting about that thing, good point.

Ballin...

The Viper could do with some sick interior. I kinda want to throw the money from the TBSS into stocks, but I could use company money. Blah, I dunno. Who wants a TBSS?

Nice Reza!

I'd like to get my wife a V like that one day.

If you have a Z71, then I'd say ditch the TBSS.

Haha, it'd be bad if I was posted up in front of someone else's house. I bought that house from my dad. I appreciate it though man, thanks.

Well, got the wheels swapped yesterday. The right rear does rub a little on the sway bar on a hard turn so I'm going to see if perhaps the V6 sway bars are a little narrower so I'm hoping that will help. Here is how it looks now with the wheels, they are Forgeline SP3P's:

The car is filthy, so I purposely parked in the shade. I haven't had a chance to wash it since I got it on Friday.

Man you have been out of the loop! Sold the T/A in November of 09', picked the Viper up in December of the same year, it was on bottle, now it's TT'd and should be done soon. What happened to yours??
