Wish the weather would get better to drive these cars.After we finished the Z06 I was driving a Cammed/Procharged C6 we did.Cold weather = no traction,even at 100mph.
I wish I had that problem! (Not really, but you know what I mean)

Is it difficult to get an engine with 12:1 compression to run on pump gas? Do you have to take a lot of timing out?
