Do you own stock in Cometic yet?

How about fastest 6-spd and fastest Automatic all motor Vettes in TX. John that'd mean you have to buy some baller rims! Or atleast some sweet hub caps.

Honestly, it wasn't that rowdy. I only put about 20 miles a week on my C6, but is is daily-drivable too.

How about an article on making sure that all of the bolts are out of the air filter you got from your buddy. You can get some really good pics of of my car in the garage. Even got the #7 piston (whats left of it) hanging on the wall. You can title it "Reasons not to de-screen your Mass Air."

Jeff and Tiago FTW...Only if Tiago washes that damn thing!! TT SS and TT TA. That would be cool.

Jeff's ride is gonna be NASTY...!! Super clean install, show quality engine bay and "might" even give me a run for the $$$...well that might be stretchin' it a little...

BTW what the hells wrong with being a 2fer in GMHighTech...slightly different animal this time around.

I think John bought another set but I might be wrong, I was just saying Johns car was down for almost two years and before the automatic swap the car had so many issues. God only knows if the thing sees 1k mile a year, I drive my car atleast 200 miles a week.

Mine are too old . Besides the fact that I don't have any numbers or time slips for them.
My T/A on the other hand has sooo much crap on the inside right now, I'd be instantly banned from the site if I ever let anyone see it.

Maybe I should invest in an LS1/2 for old blue.

If you don't find another one around here how about this car? It runs 9's, and still has all the factory equipment, including the 4L60E tranny. No TH400 there. He doesn't have any good pics and he lives in OKC, but the car is pretty sickand very clean. 427 LS1. Here is a quick pic and a little video of it. I'm sure he would bring the car down if you wanted to shoot it. I can get you his info if by a long shot you are interested.

Tony, your car articles are a much better read than your procedures.
