Bram, don't know what you have been drinking, eating, smoking BUT:

1. as long as you don't know where he comes from you can't call him a Hollander. Being Dutch doesn't mean you're a Hollander by definition, you know!

2. PT.com, you sure 'bout that?

Yep, sold the BBC and went the LS-route last year. Thanks for the compliment.

Yes I would love to kick some German Ash. But I also want a big block. And that makes it more a "straight line" kind of car isn't it ? Try to convince me to go for Pro-Touring.

I saw a C6 rearaxle and gearbox for sale on the local Marketplace, that looks kind of pro-touring to me. Is it possible to fit one in ? It might distribute the weight a little beter with a big block under the hood.

Look at me talking, I am a pro-tourer already

That's real simple to do ---- Check out the videos posted by VEGAS69 on here -- big block -- killer... and tracks the snot out of it.

PRO STREET is so.............. yesterday......... it's gotta STOP -- Corner -- blow cold A/C -- have big tunes -- and bigger power... No point in having big power if it doesn't stop and corner...

Just my .01 worth. That's USD by the way.

You also haven't heared of Vinnie Allegretta, I guess? Won the 2008 Year One AutoX and drives the snot out of that thing. To top it all of he recently went into the 9's on the strip. Changed the rear wheels and set the airride suspension differently. FYI; that car is equipped with BBC, 4L80e with Paddle shifter and Airride suspension. Car built by Jake's Rod Shop in cooperation with Steve Chryssos (Twistmachine.com).

Everything is possible but it won't be easy. Given Vinnie's results I would say; waste of time!

Cold air comes from outside the car and it's free

Vinnie How ? But I like what I am reading here 9s on the strip, great cornering and braking also I guess. Sounds like heaven.
