Cool New 800hp Vintage Toy :)

As some of you guys know, my boyfriend's stepdad passed on a few weeks ago. Don was a great guy-- a mechanic at McCormick Chevrolet in Pigeon, MI for decades who had partial interest in his family-owned drag strip and a deep love of GM vehicles.

When Rich came back from setting all of the affairs in order, he had a big new race trailer behind his Tahoe...

and now we have THIS to play with!

Meet Donna, our '67 Sting Ray! She was purpose-bought to be a drag car by Don; we are going to make her a bit more streetable (Exhaust, remove the roll cage, [thank God he never "tubbed" it] etc) but leave the setup as close to this as we can, since it's really a piece of Corvette/racing history. Check out the custom 24k gold flake paint job! I can't wait to drive her and enter her in a few car shows! She's pretty rare, so I'm a little overprotective and paranoid, but I'm really looking forward to getting my hands dirty with this one The setup right now is naturally aspirated at over 800hp... talk about a beast!
