Very nice and beautiful lighting at sunset, very creative.... are those under the bumper headlights? Or do you still have the "flip-ups"?

You are being facetious of course (not a barn find) but I did enjoy the video. That C3 has some serious power under the hood!

Hey everyone,

Thanks so much for the good words and funny comments, I really love that you gave me some feedback. Since we cannot drive the Vettes here in Northern Europe due to the crappy weather right now I enjoy watching videos of these cars so there is something to look forward to once the weather gets warmer again. I wanted to produce something of this kind as well.

The engine came out pretty nice (built it myself with the help of some friends also) and I'm currently trying to improve it and we have a discussion going about it here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-t...me-others.html

I was also able to destroy a left side u-joint again and it caused some remarkable damage in the rear of the Vette. I am currently seeking for better parts from DragVette or some other place. Don't run a more than 400 hp C3 with the stock rear side yoke and u joint setup! I didn't listen to the others and here we are again I will post a photo soon what happened under the car...

Looks like it's back to the shop!

I love the Mr. Horsepower...and the Monster Tach, throwbacks that remind me of street racing in the early 90s, (well from what I heard about from others) I never street raced, that is illegal and I would not break any speed or traffic laws
