I'll be at the NCM on Saturday maybe I can convince one of them to let me have a look at her.

Hey Daniel, I"m not sure where they put the cars when they're not on display but they may let you hve a look. You might call ahead of time and make the request though. It's fun to think back of the issues we had with that car. Brakes were terrible, trans kept braking (due to alignment problems), over heating, etc. The one thing she had going for her was that LT5. When we first put her on the dyno she made 485 to the rear wheels. That was with 350 displacement and stock compression. Only Graham knows why. But we did need all of it to beat the cheaters. I really thought it shold be in the NCM after all the interest and TV time....and the Viper episode...
