Yuck, do something with the headers. I know the rust quickly but they make paint for them. Anyways other than that nice car. Have you run it yet? What do you expect for 1/4 times?

Are you going to put the rest of the gfx on your car? It just looks a little weird with just the front spoiler on.

the nose came with the car cuz it's an SC and the previous owner put the z28 nose on it. i just bought the rest of the gfx but they're bright red so i'm gonna wait til i do some body work to put them on so i can get the repairs and gfx painted all at once

black85, i'm not sure what you mean by 'just as fast', i should be running 13s, not 12s and i have ~350-360hp not 425

i'm gonna gtech it tonight so we'll see what that says

I'm not one to talk though, my engine was put in on a weekend, so I need some free time to paint the "little stuff"

But hey keep us posted on the times.
