Knowing Dennis, probably so

I remember seeing Dennis's car back when I was 16, it's been a bad bitch since that day. Thats almost 7 years now that it's been kicking *** and taking names (except for a black hardtop Vette )

Good luck selling it man! You need to get Matt into another car so you all can both come out. I don't think Arik would want you in the passenger seat and Matt laying in the trunk sitting in the "middle" lol.

Noooooo DJ doooon't!!! lol

I like what skipperbisket said, slap a built 346 in it and keep it. OR another 422-427 and we could have some fun again like the good old days!

It is one of the cleanest damn f-body cars out there! So if you do sell it somebody gets a very nice ride!

Peace,
Craig.

LOL...I may be into "something" by then but doubt I'll ever be able to top the performance of this set up. Braking, handling and just brute power. 1xxx HP true street cars aren't something you see everyday nor does it come cheap. You can only imagine the cost of putting something like this together...but I decided to do the build right the first time and not have any issues.

Now if someone wanted a drag car I could only imagine what this thing would do with a proper cage and built auto...

Who knows in a week or so I may change my mind the more I think about it. I don't know I just can't see the SS with a baby seat... ...would that be child abuse?? The kid might be scarred for life!

It's a ruse. He's just selling the SS so he can buy Tony's Vette.

He thought about it, but too late for that now. My C6 is sold, the transport truck picks it up tonight and it is going to Philly.

LOL, I already tried to talk him into a part out!! NO go

Personally, this makes me very sad, to me Dennis has been one of the trailblazers in many ways for our cars. As always, his car has shown what these cars are capable of if put together correctly and not just slapped together. Truly one of the nicest cars out there. Period.

FYI, his old 422 block will be making a comeback soon, bigger and badder(hopefully) than ever!!!

Bump for ya DJ!!

nah, not really. I quit getting sentimental about cars a long time ago.

I think I enjoy modifying cars more than keeping them around. Buy them, fix them up, roll them a few months, then sell them. Since I don't have the room or bankroll to keep every car I buy, I just sell them to work on the next projects.
