thanks to all you guys for posting up you guys OPINIONS/GOOD/BADS OF EITHER CAR...

DOES THIS QUALIFY ME AS A TRADER??? LOL
Wheel hop is what destroys them, billetflow brace and IRS bushings will work wonders for you.

I'd get rid of my POS camaro for a Terminator so fast it would make your head spin.

screw F-bodys..buy a cobra...intake, tune, pulley, magnapacks with O/R H and call it a ******* day.

Not to mention you posi port the blower for $500, I looked into the cobra's for so long but stuck with my camaro for the fact it gets 20mpg in the city.

I really like the rear bumper treatment you have on your Corvettes

Rear end wise, it's nothing a brace and thicker half shafts can't remedy. Or if you don't mind loosing the IRS (I personaly would keep it), 8 inch conversions are available and affordable.

i ended up doing a solid in my cobra and hated it after that!! stay irs, they are more then capable of going deep 11's high 10's as long as they are not abused!!! billetflow brace is all i had with some nittos and the car never wheel hoped..

That's pretty cool. I know I probably wouldn't give a second look if I saw that car rolling around town. Not because it's not a nice car, just wouldn't see it as a threat. Very sneaky!!!

Thanks. I'm kicking around the idea of keeping the car and putting a Whipple on it. A 700rw sleeper could be alot of fun!

My car is obnoxiously loud so I figure anyone that messes with me is packing something crazy under the hood...I'd run it if it came up on me.

I cruise home on 45 around 11:30 every night so I'm always hoping to find someone out creepin
