we are going through some rainy weather this weekend. I managed to stick the car in the garage and avoid the rain as I came home. I still havent had a good long look at it. as soon as it dries up I will take some pics.

I strongly suggest to yank those out, especially if they are flowmasters. there is tremendous drone but... when you feel the difference you wont care.

Ed,
I have seen at least ten ZR-1's with 315's on all four corners; over the years.
They look good, but I have never driven one. "Enjoy"!!!!
The new Z-28 is in no way a Corvette; but is alot of fun to drive and handles quite well.

engine needs powdercoating I know but nobody down here qualified to work on this thing. sgc wont answer his calls. I talked to him back in 2005 but now nobody answers his calls or emails. I will wait until I have to remove the plenum. I just received Mark Haibecks cd video so I will be looking at that. I wish one of you guys line dynomite or some other guys who know alot more than me was at least within 500 miles of me so maybe something could be done. so far everything works on this car, no lights or leaks of any kind. I will post up the horse power killing resonator. I swear if the seat of the pants feel was accurate I would think at least 10 horsepower. I notice it all up in the rpms. this is when the car just stands up and shoots down the road whaling in full song.

It is a chevrolet so I have respect for the camaro. I like the new zl1 camaro and old big block units too. I have had mustangs and camaros and they are not as great handling as a corvette. these were unmodified camaros and stock corvettes. I have only seen 4 zr1's with 315 all around but only one with chrome a molds. It drives great. seems like the response is quicker and the car reacts quicker to any turns. I have not sensed that ruts on the road cause any type of problems. it runs very smooth and no noise at all. I like them quite a bit. I like American sports cars and muscle cars and cheer for them wherever they run. I am not a fan of foreign sports cars. I respect a few but would not own one.
