We all can preserve this thing, if we stick together. I have 4 boys, and my youngest soon to be 17 goes to the car shows and drags with me. The biggest difference I see in the kids today is that we were changing cams and carbs in the old days, where they are changing paint graphics and sound systems. None of these kids can afford a corvette, and if you don't like mustangs, there is not really anything to buy!!! When I was making $5.00 an hour, and cars cost $3,000, that was much easier to fathom than when I am making $35.00 an hour and cars, (like the camaros and firebirds) cost $35-$40,000 each. This is why my 22 year old and his buddies mess with the rice burners. One third the price, and with some over the counter parts they run in the 13's easy. One catch though: I don't let them park those tin cans on my property!! Ha-Ha Sam 1969 RS/Z28

Who knows in 10 years I might be the first person on here that argues with the old timers about my Hybrid, 10 24 cell y connected, 28 inch rims, does the block in 11 seconds and can travel 1 hour and 43 minutes 29 seconds on a single charge is not concerned the modern muscle. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Honestly I tried the rice seen with a Honda S2000 for about a year put the pull back to the camaro's were to strong to resist. So sold that one and getting the ZL1. So who else is getting one of the GMMG <font color="yellow"> </font color> ZL1 beside me and GRB.

Yes the above mentioned names are getting one with the exception of Holub. It seems Belk talked Holub out of his. Barnharts has the very rare option of optional Child restraint seats bolted into the Trunk. Nice to see you out of the Closet on 38 Shor :-). As of right now they are all spoken but someone may fall out. Right now about 26 are scheduled for the C5R 427. We need to be very clear that the cars are sold with the ZO6 Corvette engine as that is what is Emissions Certified. The cars are then retrofit by GMMG with the 427. The base price with the Z06 engine is about 54K. The C5R 427 is another 25K. You want leather, Custom 1969 paint, etc ? Hp on the 427 is supposed to be about 600. If you heard Barnharts C5R with open Headers at Vettefest you couldn't help but want one. The open Headers help muffle the sounds of the Kids yelling from inside his Trunk also.
