When you think about it, it's a good choice. Pricing isnt bad, has a LT1, etc I'm glad to be out of the F-body. This just feels more me you know. I'm 6'6" 260. Watching me get in and out is intresting. I would trade it for anything.

I was really surprised at the condition. I went over it yesterday with a fine tooth comb. I found some issues here and there with the paint but nothing that cant be fixed. It's hard to take care of anything in Bahrain unless you dont drive it. Overall I gave it a A-. Give some time with her. She'll be a A+ soon.

Right now it's a stock with a 3" exhaust and Flowmasters (MAN DO THESE DRONE!!! UGH) Within the next two weeks Ill have my Camaro motor inside the vette. Here are the specs on my camaro motor:
-Engine-
Eagle 4340 383 stroker kit
SRP 5 cc pistons
Upgraded oil pump
Vented Optispark conversion (Dynaspark)
Cloyes Double Roller Timing chain
LT4 ported intake manifold
ATI crank pulley
Moroso deep sump oil pan
Meziere electric water Pump
AFR 190 Lloyd Elliot port and polished 217cc heads
Lloyd Elliot / Bret Bauer custom cam
Comp 977 dbl springs and Ti retainers
Crane energizer series non slef aligning Rocker arms
AFR guide plate
AFR one peice chrome moly pushrods
Racetronix 37lbs injectors
Taylor spark plug wires
Hypertech 160 thermostat
BBK 58mm Throtle Body
MSD 6AL ignition
MSD blaster coil
4 bolt block
NGK TR6 Plugs
LT1 Scanmaster
PLX A/F ratio gauge
Proform crinkle valve covers

I ran mid 12's with the motor running pig rich. I'm hoping to see low 11's on motor once everything is dialed in. If I can get 10's on motor life is good. If I get 10's on motor Ill for sure hit 9's with a 250 shot.

I think you will run realy low 11's, if you get your deff right, right tires and good tune.
but all depends on the track prep which so far have been always good i here.
