Ummgamma is right - its my car I do what I want - I am not concerned about the next guy.

I do not like the stiffer suspension of the z06. I have driven a few and well there not so nice on the back....

Also - my car is almost paid off - so why finance another $42,000 when this one is nearly paid off?

Also - I might have been clear as mud - but no LS7 swap, I was joking in that post, lol. Only engine plans are the CNC ported LS3 top end and the edelbrock SC. I may get the LS9 cam - depends on LSA on that the lobes though.

I plan on doing the Widebody kit this winter - and probably the blower 2012 some time.

You also have to realized - all the conversion parts and projects for this car have been bought second hand except for the zr1 wheels - which are for sale, the z06 brakes and 2 z06 center caps. The interior mods - well the OEM stuff blows - so I went aftermarket for most of it. I also shop for the best deal around - for example I pad 300 and 500 for the front fenders - both used, OEM retail is 1700 each! I am doing this on a budget - or I'd have a ZR1 in the garage and my pro-touring Nova which I have built in my head.

Thanks,
Craig
