About this user

I try to reply to all comments of significance, but I get like 50 messages a day - it's hard to keep up! Sorry if I miss responding to your comment.

I'm just an ordinary guy with gasoline in his veins. I've done all right financially, so I have some disposable income. I dispose of it on a couple of BB Chevy's.

1969 Camaro SS:
540 CID Chevy big block
250hp NOS
930hp total (adjustable to 1,100hp max)
3" custom polished stainless steel exhaust
Oversized fuel lines
McLeod Twin disk clutch rated for 1,200hp
Scatter shield
5 Speed Tremec TKO 600
Over-sized drive shaft
Moser 12 bolt rear end
Sub-frame connectors
Killer stereo
Car has been 100% restored. It was a trailer queen show car when I bought it (454, 4 speed, 10 bolt). Now it gets dirty regularly. I drive it 30 miles round trip to and from work daily, year round. I use a 10lb bottle of NOS every week, sometimes more.

1970 Corvette:
540 CID Chevy big block, 30 over (548 CID)
Numbers matching 454 is in the garage, original hood hangs on living room wall
700+hp
8,000rpm engine
3" custom aluminized exhaust
Center Force Dual Friction clutch
Scatter shield
5 Speed Tremec TKO 600
Over-sized u-joints
Stock rear end full of racing components
Uber-Killer stereo
New, reinforced, galvanized, powder-coated frame
17x9 custom made centerline wheels, 275 Michelin Pilot Sport tires
Car has been fully restored while I have owned it (since 1988). This car drives amazingly. You'd swear all the modifications were done as factory options -- it just works perfectly. All new interior with the finest stereo I have ever heard. Tires that stick, brakes that stop you right now and acceleration that will blow your mind. Driven daily, year round.
