Default Why I sold my ZR-1

I miss my Z, but this car is going to be a beast!!!

1969 Camaro convertible.

LS3 with headers, cam, Supercharger, pulley kit, and a tune.

Your camaro is nice. You sold a zr1. the only problem is that you sold it for a camaro. I had a 1200 hp Mustang convertible. It would rip your heart out it was so brutal. You know what, one day I realized it was a Mustang. A pony car not a sports car. It did not matter how fast it was only that it was a teenagers car. I would go to gatherings and it was loaded with 18 year olds drooling at other Mustangs. I missed the Corvette people and there insight and knowledge of there special cars. The important thing is that YOU like your choices. I congratulate you on your decision.

Looks like a TVS2300 which is a Magnacharger/Eaton like the C6 ZR1 not a twin screw.

I'll be looking for some wide black stripes on the pavement

I'm a new dad, my boy is 6 months old and my wife enjoys my cars as well. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. I do like your way of thinking though!!!!! Very nice car your putting together. I'm assuming you involve your 6 year old in building the car which is another great result in your decision.
