I believe the EPA requires the car to be built on Jan 1st of whatever model year it is. Thus a "2013" model car could not stop production in September 2012. The earliest they could stop production...

Can I play?

It's called freedom of speech, now STFU!

I think there are cars way closer to your "ideal" goal of a practical, reliable, fun sports car that is suitable for year 'round daily driving. Like a GTO, CTS-V, G8, that sort of thing.

The '00+ Northstars have coil on plug. Though they can obviously go bad.

Why'd you swap the injectors? Was there a problem with them?

I guess at the risk of pissing people off, I'd say look out for paying too much. As an original owner, the guy probably shelled out $60k or more for something he might feel hasn't gotten any worse...

There are probably more solutions available if you go Northstar. Since it will be a fairly unrecognizable DOHC V8 at that point, the Northstar probably has way more existing solutions from...

This is what the new card is. That's not a change. The $1000 limit you are thinking of is likely the redemption limit on Corvettes. The old card didn't have any per-vehicle redemption limit. You...

That's definitely true. I assumed it would be true on a centri also? I assume that has mostly to do with the extra tension needed.

That's also one nice thing about most factory installs that it...

This seems like kind of a faulty distinction. A centrifugal blower spins at 80,000 RPM and up. An Eaton spins at maybe 20,000 RPM. It stands to reason one needs way better bearings than the other...

You read the opening post, right? Caravaggio interior, professional cage, carbon fiber body bits, lexan windows, brakes.... It doesn't have a $95,000 engine in it.

I believe I saw your car in June at Summit Point for V-day. Great looking car! What kind of times do you turn in it?

Are most of the miles on the road? 14k on the track would be a lot (of fun)!

They cut off the primaries and collector, and fabbed up new ones. They used the '90-92 manifolds, not the later ones with bolt-on cats.

At this point, as the cats would be old and unservicable...

I think he meant the 475 hp that was the common claim of other engine builders of the day.

For example, I believe Marc's 350 package used to be called the 475 or 485 package, and then grew to...
