So I finally have decided on a Corvette, Im giving the owner the check on Monday but I've already put a deposit on the car. Let me know what you think, what do you think this thing will put down for hp or what do similar setups run?

it has an LS2 swap, FAST 92/92, Trick-flo, LT's and full exhaust, cam (idk what size), "built" transmission, 77k on the body, 20k est on the engine setup

It also has pfadt suspension on it

sorry for the crappy pictures

Not so sure about the blue lips on the wheels, but the car looks really nice. Congrats and enjoy.

thanks, usually i despise body colored lips but in person these match perfectly and actually look better.

Congrats and enjoy.

Congrats!!
I don't mind the blue lip. I think it looks better with a little color rather than all black.

thanks, i agree. the past 2 sports cars ive owned ive had completely black wheels and a little color is nice. still debating on keeping it but we'll see

I think she will do the job...and scare the crap outta ya! lol I really am not a black rim fan. Great for beat up old trucks I am thinking.

hahaha, yeah i was into chrome but i dont know what it is but the black wheels to me give the car a sinister look. and the thing already got me wide eyed while test driving and i was being easy on the car.

So you got it.... I knew from our conversation on LS1Tech that you were determined to get that car. Hope it turns out to be the ride of your dreams and meets all of your expectations. Come over here and learn from these guys. there is a wealth of knowledge on this forum... BTW, I am the guy wtih the Firehawk ( son in the NAVY) from the other forum... GL Sailor...

thanks everyone! and 0H1Z06 dont act like i didnt recognize that sexy widebody vette in your avatar! haha.

the guy i bought it from traded his lifted 52" tire pickup for this car and the guy he got it from told him he was going to give him a build sheet and whatnot but only gave him a few receipts and he never pestered him for the rest.

the guy said it was all built by century 21 out in dallas (no idea that was a shop?)

only issue is the trans grinds 3rd and slightly in 4th, the owner said his trans guy said it was a common part that needs to be replaced? i got this at a good deal and i was told about the problem before hand so if its a bad trans it was my gamble. also the car had a wreck but it was a rear end and the car is clean inside out and underneath. no frame damage it was all body panels, but everything lines up perfectly and looks better than factory

but everything on this car that i was dreaming about having on it eventually is already on it, (fast, pfadt, Trick-flo,ect) i wanted to do this myself but this saves me a ton of money.

and again thanks for the compliments, i think this is a forever car haha

time to start thinking about autoX

21st Century is over in Addison off of Beltline. you should call and ask for John, or just go by and se him. Ask him if he remembers the car and if he can shed any light on it. I am afraid the seller misled you regarding grinding... I am sure the syncro's 3-4 are on there way out. something to think about. a trans build (good one) is gonna run you $1800 +.... If you decide to rebuild take it over to Jason @ TDP in Blue Mound. It is close to you. Or, PM me and I can give my personal mechanics info.

Again, welcome to the world of Vette... totally different car than what you are used to.
