Default Thanks for the inspiration.

Reading through the posts it dawned on me: I am in awe and humbled by the skills within this brotherhood.

Historical research, craftsmanship, mechanical engineering, computer hardware and software design, artistic skills. And not shade tree knowledge. You guys can give GM’s engineers a run for the money anyday.

And I admire the willingness of each to help the other.

Thanks for the inspiration, George

Don't let it go to their heads! LOL. A bright bunch indeed but some of them still seem to think the yellow ones are fastest when we all know it is the red ones which rule!

I cannot imagine a 427 lt5 fully tuned and what it could do....a lot!

I agree with the OP. SO nice to have such knowledgeable people to ask questions of - especially when you are a newbie and know little to nothing about Corvettes! (like myself)....
