I used aero latch hood pins on my car. They are lockable to. I also like the added safety of them holding @ 130+ mph.
I looked into the aerolatch as well. I’m just nervous about the more intricate cutting involved with them. The regular push button style is just a simple hole saw. The ones I bought are rated for 500 lbs force each and my stock hood is pretty light anyway. They should be fine. And the rear will still have stock mounting etc

That's cool. I haven't used the push button style.

Thought this pic was ok from the last shootout I was at. That was 275 class finals. The Terbo LS camero didn’t win.

Thanks Jay!

It was at a sketchy airport, semi prep situation at best. Mid high 8s were the best anyone could do, even with big tires.

IIRC the camero was right around 160mph in the 1/4. My car touched 168mph skating alot of the track. lol

PS. Cobro won that event back in 2016 so it was nice to get the title back in 2019.

I've never been to a drive-in theater, but I've always wanted to check one out.

I usually take my truck and put a blow up mattress in the bed. A few pillows, some blankets and you'll have a great night.

We used to have two drive in theaters here. One was family and the other was ****.....lol

When i was a kid we watched the first smokey and the bandit at the drive in. I also seen Stroker Ace there.

New Vette is very impressive price wise and performance wise for a mid engine car. I would not buy a first year one though

Yea.....a **** drive in. Unfortunately i never got to go to it, i was to young. But some friends would ride their bikes down the rail road tracks and watch from there.

Of course it didn't start as a **** drive in and i have no idea how it turned into one. I do remember reading what was playing as we would ride by as a kid tho.

I was worried about the design mostly but damn if I'm not impressed. Only thing is rear end looks a little camaroish to me but gotta gripe about something....and sub 3 sec 0-60 with the base model loving it. Still wish there was a manual though, but for under 60k looks like an incredible car and I loved the with everyone going small boosted motors we are bucking the trend...500hp n/a v8 love it. Excited to see the z06 and zr1 models
