Default Hilarious 87 300 HP Engine ad

Check here

"The dash cracked one cold Sunday morning coming back from a night (Little Ale'inn) at Rachael, NV (Area 51). Possible Alien attack "

" The C4's handle as well as a C6 but without the better braking, power or room."

"This 1987 Corvette is the last year the C4's were comfortable to drive. They brought the wheel well in and your left leg gets cramped like driving a Fiero"

"The tires are BFG G-Force Sport and they are virtually impossible to make talk" talking tires ?

"At low RPM their is a little piston slap in the left bank so the engine probably will not make it to 100000 miles and then it disappears at speed."

That is actually true, I noticed this on my 85 which has more leg room than my 94, thats probably because in 88 the C4 got the new bigger transmission which is taking up so much space.

Taller Block ? Possible Alien Machine ?
Couldn't have a Ford 351 in it could it ?
Well maybe a Truck 454 block !
That's the only two taller blocks I know of.

i asked him about the 60 hp nd he sent me an answer.-

"It was upgraded from the 245 OEM. For what reason, I could only guess. I liked it and bought it immediately before it had time even to make it into the autotrader.com paper. How clean it was, was enough to tell me it had been taken care of and it turned out to be true. Thanks."
