Re: New vette website and poll ?
loose metal just waiting to find someplace to fall and get lost just really doesnt make me too comfortable. But If at gunpoint I'm sure it could do it, she is silky smooth.

Re: New vette website and poll ?
I agree with Patton. Mine runs very smooth but I can't imagine that the nickel would stay. I probably couldn't stand the nickel on my kitchen table either

Re: New vette website and poll ?
Can someone 'splain the test? I'm getting the impression it would be trying to balance a nickel on its side while the car is running??!??

Re: New vette website and poll ?
Mine fails. It failed a lot worse before, though. I suspect injectors will have it super smooth again.

Re: New vette website and poll ?
Ya, its not even the loss of the nickle im worried about... Its the abrupt finding of the nickle by some moving part at 150mph that has me worried.
You guys have seen the video of the nickle test right?

Re: New vette website and poll ?
On a truly good running LT5 engine you can balance a nickel.
