Default Re: 'Motion' Corvette on Ebay

My favorite part of the ad:

<span style="color: #FF6666">The car runs what MOTION guaranteed. It is probably a sub 11.5 car with sixty foot times of 1.7 to 1.8 range.</span>

It was always great to see that car run @ Gateway at the Supercar Reunion...you don't see many (any?) of those cars even attempting to back up that guarantee these days. While it may look the part, a trailer queen this car ain't... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

I sure tried pick up an 11.50 time slip. I thought that would go great with the car. The car had it in it easy. Weak link was the driver. I did reach 11.70 but always seemed to break something before I made an 11.50 pass. Two years in a row at Gateway I was on the trailer early. Once with twisted wheel studs and then the next year the ring and pinion lost a few teeth on a 4500 rpm launch with slicks. Man I miss that car!

I can't wait to run the Deuce at the Reunion this year. The problem is it will have the same weakness the Motion had. Me driving. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
