thanks for compliments. as for the color, the base is vette black, with a red pearl coat. depending on the amount of light hitting it, the color can change quite a bit. at night it looks black, at dusk it looks black cherry, in the light its a purple tone.
The slicks are just for the track. I have run regular tires with my betters wheels on the street. I think the Hoosiers are great. Then again I've never ran anything different before. This is my first pair of slicks (dont race much). They wear great for being a softer compound. I only have prolly six burnouts and 1/4 miles on them though. They hook very well. Last week I pulled a 1.65 60' when I ran the 11.8X. Which is cool, cuz when I ran my 11.7X last year I pulled a 2.0 60 foot. So I guess I got a little more I can squeeze out of it ET wise. I just got 4 new adjustable drag shocks so maybe I will get a further improvement.
As far as mods, I dont really feel like listing all of them. I could sit here thinking about all the crap I've done to it for hours. But I bought the car as a shell with just a 5 speed hangin underneath. After that blew, I went thru two 4 speeds before converting to a TH-350 auto. I built the motor the first time back when I was 17. After a oil pump fail and a big boom last summer, I rebuilt it, better. It's a 350 4 bolt main bored 30 over. Dart Iron Eagle heads, 11:1 compression pistons, comp cam, weind intake, Holley 750 double pumper with all the tricks, shortie headers w/true duals exiting the sides, MSD Digital 6AL Plus, Blaster coil. I run nitrous at the track. The 11.8 was on a 75 shot. The rear is the stock Z28 10 bolt, except for the set of 4.10's I put in. The paint was done 2 years ago by me and my brother. I prepped it, he shot it.
