Thanks fellas. No, it's not blue (I wish it was for the company's name sake..LOL) It's black with white stripes. Has the LS3 / 6 spd manual combo, and is awesome! Can't wait to start modifying. (although the wife can).

Burned out all the regular unleaded today put in some fresh super....will begin my tuning on her tomorrow (in stock trim).

$350, rear tires don't match but there enough to roll on. I have 1 tire that came with the wheels when I got them but you would have to buy a matching tire.

My oil pressure gauge is bouncing around under 40psi and pegging 0 at idle. The car is running fine and I just changed the oil. I sure hope its the sending unit or gauge wiring and nothing serious because I HAVE to drive it to south Louisiana in the morning. If it was really at 0 psi, I doubt it would be running perfect.

With no oil pressure the lifters will start tapping pretty quick.

Sounds like OPS to me. I want to say these GM cars require 6psi minimum to run correctly.

Well, I'll find out tomorrow. If the motor goes, I guess I'll just have to throw in an ls3 or sell it and get a vette. I think it will be fine though.

Made it. OP was fine on the highway. It's only at low speed and idle that it bounces around. Sometimes hitting 0 when stopped. No noise or running issues yet.

Weird. Glad you made it.

I've been playing around with personalized plates on the LA website. HIGHBRD is available. That'd be a pretty funny plate on a 402 Vette, but I'd rather not come across as a stoner.

HYBRID is taken. Could do HYBRID1 though.

I'll probably just end up getting a regular plate.
HOLY ****! "REGULAR" is available! I may go this route!
