I remember when they first were introduced and the absolute uproar they created! I didn't give owning one much thought, as I owned a 1971 since 1987. LS5, 4spd, ac, red-on-red I thought I would own it forever. However, I just got to the point where I had no time to finish it, and if I did, I had soo much time and monay invested I was afraid to drive it. I started lurking here and 1990 #4122 came up. It just reignited the fire! There's some definite drawbacks to owning such an exotic, but no more than if it were a Lambo or high-end Porche, plus I honestly believe they are the next L-88s in the Corvette market. It's going to take 10 years or so for the market to recognize them. That's what happened to the L88 and the LS6, and now any big block Corvette is like gold. Now's the time to buy. If I had any place to put another one, I'd buy it.
