I am only 28 and hope to god that when i am 60 yrs old that i will be cool like that. I want to be that old dude that lives down the block with all of that fast toys, that all of the younger guys want to grow up to be like. I want to be the old guy that is seen driving down the highway doing the speed limit and some punk kid pulls up to and wants to play. Then throw her into third and blow his doors off. No offence to anyone about using the term old. Old does not always me bad, wisdom usually comes with being older.

You... Why do YOU have a picture of your BROTHERS fiancee as your avatar?

Because that 'Toad' of a 'Brother' of mine has a pic of MY girl up on his website, and will NOT give me a copy of it...he has NO copy of THIS pic, and I'm trying to induce a 'trade'...This pic comes down when he "agrees"...Trust me, I am the 'Big Brother'...I'll win! He knows it's here because I told him to come see it...

Dang,...how did this ever become a topic about HER?
BTW, if it offends anyone, just say so..I'll pull it..Brotherly joke not meant to step on any toes..She's NOT naked or anything..

I am 64 and would love to make about another 100-150 HP in my 2K but I don't do any kind of racing with it now, so I know I wouldn't with a lot of extra money in it either. Just nice to know you could put down most anyone who pulled up next to you if you wanted to.

Dang... I knew you were a geezer


My father's 59 and picked up his Z16 Z06 last summer... so far we've put a Halltech Stinger on it, a Brey Krause harness bar w/ lap belt mounts, fresh tires, and a agressive street/track allignment.

He keep saying it's plenty fast but I upped the ante w/ a cam this fall... so we'll see how long the "intake only" lasts

I'm 65 and the one thing you have to remember, is that you can never have to much Horse Power.

I'll be 74 in October and have LT's, GHL's and a Halltec, but haven't gone to Heads & Cam as yet. Seriously thinking about a C6 Z.

More power is the best way to find your lost youth.

Oh man that is so good to hear guys. We should start a 60 and over hp club.
