Just like the C7, I dunno about those taillights on this 5th gen refresh... I defended them pretty aggressively on here when it was first announced, but in person they really just look pretty weak unless it's on a ZL1 (or Z28, now).

You would be surprised. Some of the guys going to that event are making anywhere from 100-1200whp. I have a buddy in Ramstein with a Built KB Cobra making 750whp and another buddy with a 900whp Evo. And then there is always me.

As a whole I think the 5th gens are ugly, most being a 3/10 on my scale.
The Z/28 gets a 6/10.

I like the way they look its different i assume it was to capture the younger crowed to bring in a new generation that's why it was the main focus (as cars go) in all the transformer movies. Imo that it. The only reason why ill never buy one tho is bc of the weight its too heavy. I want a newer modern muscle car that has all the bells and whistles that weighs as much if not less than my WS6

Little **** here and there, upholstering dash pad on passenger's side, having the exhaust put on tomorrow since the shop was too busy last week. Hooking up with the guy who is going to tune it, giving him my setup details.
It's almost 60 degrees here today and because of that I'm in the best mood in months!!!

71 here today. Strong storms to move in shortly though so no cruising today. Oh well, headed for southern GA and 80 degrees in a few hours.

Managed to squeeze in a quick cruise session in the 67. Big blocks + rolling burnouts is amazing. I really need to get this thing on a dyno and see what it makes. The builder claims it makes around 750-775 at the crank but I think that's high. Probably makes around 550-600 wheel.

They did the taillights like that to hearken back to the first gen. But to me, it just doesn't work in person;
