Nothing too radical. I'm probably going drive it around stock until we move the family back to Tampa and get settled. After that, I'm looking into doing a H/C/I swap. We've got a few great tuners down here, so I'll let them work their magic.

I got my "fast car" fix with the Nova I'm trying to sell (high 10's on motor), so I'm not looking to building anything that crazy again for some time. Just a nice car to take my wife out in on date night. lol.

Very cool man, same road I am going down with this one, making it quieter and more friendly to use everyday than my Camaro was, I decided on forced induction to try and retain some stockish driveability but still be able to have some fun without the car rattling itself apart from a big cam

God I have not gotten anything done today. I am going to look at an frc for ~16k tomorrow with 60k miles. It would mean probably parting ways with my fbody. I am not sure what I'd do. Vette... fbody.. vette.. My friends and I have a saying.. you always miss the fbody. I owe very little on the fbody and could possible keep both but financially.. idk..

Awesome looking car. IT is not making this decision any easier..

Maybe in some aspects but I don't miss my 427 RWHP f-bod. Now I know you're not looking at a Z06 but the FRC/C5 is a better platform and better all-around performer plus you get that sexy FRC/Z06 bodyline!

Just get the Vette. It's an all-around better performing vehicle.

Besides, if you mod it correctly, you can install a plow on the nose to push the vagina away while you're driving.

I have a feeling you guys are going to be a bad influence on me...LOL

Well, it didn't take me long to start tinkering with this car too. As per the advice by Jamie (V-Series Tech) I gave the car some attitude by powdercoating the wheels black and dropping the suspension with some stock bolts and cut bushings.

I'll be picking up a Z06 TI this week to give it some growl; and hopefully, a CERTAIN SOMEONE (AHEM...AHEM) can get his *** off the plantation to help me install my new cam. J/K.....

Anyways, here are some pictures:







Can't wait to get her finished. She's going to be a bad bitch when I'm done!!!

That's a killer deal. Seems the nice FRC's I have seen recently are all pewter.

I'm kinda looking for a white or nassau blue one, but they're always high price, or high miles. That is a great combination of both clean, priced cheap, and good milage.
