sucks to see what happened with your car. is it mostly just top end stuff? or any damage to the lower end of the engine?
thats why i shut car off right away and i do have a battery shut off at the back of car we shut off also. What ever happened to that car hopefully its just top end stuff and didnt hurt bottom end.

I've seen that car up there at CD before. i think you and my buddy with the fastass blue Evo have run against each other a few times.

i got the red LT1 camaro with the black wheels and ET streets that goes up there from time to time.

sorry to hear that man!

well if the motor was off when they sprayed it then the intake valves should have been close...most of them that is. but yea it still might be a good idea to check everything out.

I recall a great running Vette at the fall Cobra day. I know you'll get it going again. Kudos for Carolina for having a well run operation. One of my favorite places to run.
