Stock toon C8 w/turbros was destined for failz.

Going to pick up my GS from a carb rebuild and recent tune-up tonight. Didn't have time to go over it, and have a good friend with a shop that specializes in old school power - so it was quick and easy for us both.

Going to run and drive it a bit, and then bring it back for some fine tuning. If I get comfortable with how it behaves throttle wise - might be a road course session this fall - fingers crossed.

if what you want is a vette then wait. You'll regret anything else. I wanted a c7z till I drove one. Just felt like i was being smashed. same thing in a buddies gt350 with Recaros.

Ohio was stating that he has junk in the trunk not that the car rides bad.

Well GS runs good again. Going to take it for a few hard drives and cleanup as much carbon buildup as I can, then back for some dyno action most likely. Couple more items to address, so see if I can get them done before the end of the season.

If C7ZR1 prices ever come down, I will be hard pressed to keep the GS and not try to go for an M7 ZTK.
