picked up a new car well after owning a 2000 camaro Z28 (h/c stall rear etc. etc.) for 2 1/2 years i decided to park it for a while and buy a vette.. bought a torch red 1999 FRC with no options except magnesium wheels. Just bought new tires today for it since i hate the run flats... khumo MX's. all its got mod wise is the ls6 intake off my camaro since its parked now... picked it up friday night at 8pm and put the ls6 intake on sat morning at 6 AM.... its a 6 speed with black interior 65k on the clock.... and thats about it (no power seat etc.) im in love!

Is it just the rear that is bothering you, or the combination of the rear and heads/cam?
My car is completely stuck, but I was considering doing a head/cam setup shortly. I don't plan on changing the rear since I don't run it at the track.

Congrats on the new car and time. Damn if I would have known you went to atco thursday night I would have definitely went for some virgin runs in the Vette.
