Default Got a new Vette, Pics

I just purchased a new(to me) Vette. It's a pewter FRC with 56K on it with heads/cam and CCW's. Really always liked this car/color/wheel combo, so the price was right and I got it. Not sure how far I'm going to take this one. I plan on pulling the stock motor and either forging it or putting a stroker in it with a blower. Something in the 750-800rwhp will be fine for me this time, no more race car stuff right now.

I fly out next Saturday morning to pick it up in Kansas City.
