Still deciding if I am going to run it before the National Corvette Challenege.

If not, the car is going back to The Vette Doctors for a possible Turbo upgrade.

Try openning Windows Media Player. Selecting Tools/Options and click on the player tab. Pick check codecs once a day and check the download codecs automatically and save. I am usaing 16x9 format which is new.

This should help.

Technically I guess you are right. I could remove the Parachute and put a passanger seat in the car (Major SPray has a custom fabricated one that fits) and run the car on the street. The car retains the a working speedo and odometer, lights, blinkers and is noise complient with a full muffler attached to the turbo. I could get a collector car registration which does not require full inspection (visable only). the car has plates, registratuion and insurance.

The only thinkg would be a limited fuel range based on limited mpg . 1200+RWHP has a negative effect on that.

Just for the head you should drive around just to see how it feels on the street. Maybe a cruise night.
