I enjoyed the show throughly....I have to admit I was rooting for your brother's LS1 though.

+1. Like Greg and I said before we know of about 3 in Orlando from the OSW episodes. If you win its supose to be your car to do with whatever you want right? Guess not anymore..

Both cars look awesome. I just can't believe it has to be sold on e-bay.

But, even if it does sell, $42K isn't anything to complain about. That is quite a bit of cash, and I'm sure his next car will be even better.

Won't have to worry about that 2nd gear is gone I launched it I think when I missed it on pinks thats what did it in plus almost 50 runs all together so not too bad for a stock t-56

Stock even down to the plastic keys on the forks buddy. I meant stock as in hard parts no upgraded input shaft all stock except for the proshifting. All that does is help you shift faster ,you know that though.

Obviously its awsome!! 1.3 60's is flat out amazing in itself from a manual trans car. I wonder if they make that clutch for the ol junk LT1s?? My SPEC is slipping so I might give them a call. How does it do when driving normal? Thanks ALOT for the info.

$41K with 8 days left?

Damn

I don't think it's matter of if it will sell now, but how much over the reserve it will get.

hell, if you wanted to keep the car, you could get a buddy to "buy" it for the reserve price and just pay ebay their 1% fee. It would be less than $500. I'm sure you guys have thought of that already

some of those bidders look questionable. A girl that usually buys video games and spongebob pillows all of a sudden wants to spend $41K on a racecar? lol

HAHA, maybe she was flipping to Nickelodeon(SP) and happened to see pinks???

I wouldn't doubt the winning bidder not going through with it, that would be pretty sweet.

I can picture "Smoochykittygirl" driving this car. LOL! "Hi, I'm Smoochy Kitty Girl... Muthafuckas!!!" *Launch!!!*

So, what happens if someone bids then doesn't pay? Goes back to you?

TOSTO RACING, what are you going to do with the money/car after the auction?

Well Ram doesnt make the VDS for the LT1. But I guess later this year they are going to be making a twin disk for them. Im researching the possibility of converting my car to a McLeod hydraulic clutch release bearing setup. I just have to figure out how much extra room is needed inside the bellhousing. There are a few kits out there. But they have there own bellhousing. Anyway thanks Tim for the info on that clutch. Maybe with some engineering Ill be able to run one.
