You've got another 100k left before you need to start worrying.

427 seems the correct answer to me. It's tradition.

Yea, my heart skipped a beat as I started to read your post Rick....but then it was all good! Good for you Brother, drive on!

I remember when mine turned 10k, and I felt a little sad but then I figured I'd just finished doing the 'long break in program'. LOL Then it didn't matter much till 50k, and I was a bit sad again as I figure I had now turned it into a "driver". It must be me, but I hate that term! Anytime I hear "Driver" it always sounds so negative, like you ruined a great collector car by using it? So now I have convinced myself that mine has "patina" ( road rash & pitted windshield ) and "character" ( dirt ) imparted by regular exercise!


I agree with Lee, he hit the mark dead!

Oh and as to the 427 idea? Yea man! That's my dream! I even have the plate picked out, "4CAM-427"......one can dream right?


Tom

From what I can see they all get ported and polished or go for 500hp kits and become formidable competition for the 405 hp BLACK ZR-1's
