Nice numbers! Good luck with the sale if you do decide to sell it. Do you know what you want to build next?

vstol 02-05-2018 05:05 PM

I will put it up for sale in the next two weeks, but no hurry. Next build no idea but it will most likely be my last.

Great looking Vette with a great deal of nasty thrown in! :cool:

Spring day so off I went for a 40 mile drive. It was the first time I sat in traffic but the water temp stayed steady at 210 degrees and oil temp never went past 170 degrees and that was when I was idling for about 5 minutes then stopped and go for several miles in town. Otherwise the oil temp stayed at 140 degrees. I just laugh when I hear there are cars with 700 plus HP. With 618hp and all this torque in a 3200 lb car it is a beast. Trying to see if the local airport will give us sometime for some high speed runs. Trying to get a video up on line, I need my daughters help.

Glad the drive went well and the engine stayed cooled. I don't bother to build to more than 500hp any more simply due to what you're experiencing. On a street car, it's more fun for me to keep the power reasonable.

great day for a drive

After 500 miles with the Corbeau retractable harness I will pull it for a 5 point harness. Just never seemed to work the way I thought it should and with this car the 5 point is a much better solution and I still can reach all the switches. Pics soon, just ordered the harness.

It has been a while but I have been focused elsewhere as my Son LtCol Kevin Herrmann was killed on 6 Dec in the C-130 F-18 Mishap over the sea of Japan. Anyhow it was 10 degrees here on Monday and the car had been sitting for three weeks so I needed to get it moving. Of course it started right up, thank God for fuel injection. Just drove around the block a few times with the top speed of 30mph as the tires should not be out in this cold :). It was good to get in it and the heater worked just fine.

Kevin,

I am so sorry to hear about your son Kevin’s passing...

My deepest condolences to you and your family.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I am very sorry about the loss of your son. I appreciate the job our military does to keep us free. Again, so sorry.

My car is on its way to Barrett Jackson in Connecticut in June, just thought I would share. I had sold it a few months back knowing it was going there.

Cool! Will be interesting to see where it ends up. Thanks for letting us know.
