Gm doesn't protect the corvette like Porsche does with the 911.

Don't really like the guy in the video but about 4 mins in he explains your concern.

this is true. if it were me, i'd buy the hellcat for 60-70k before I bought the new viper for over 100k. lol

I suppose GM can make a zl1 that makes 700hp, without stealing too many corvette sales.

Had a ball at the museum. I will post some pictures when I can get them off my phone and on my laptop. That sinkhole is huge when you see it up close. They also have the damaged cars on display till early August. A few are repairable but some are just completely destroyed.

there are a few different ways. depends on how you are viewing the forum. if on a desktop, and you have a picture on your computer you want to post, you click "Go Advanced". You will see a little paperclip icon next to the smiley face icon, and go from there. You can also host an image on photobucket, imgur, or any other photo hosting site, and then copy/paste from there. If the image is on facebook, you can just copy/paste there as well. if you are on your phone, you can download tapatalk app and they host images as well, and just post through tapatalk. clear as mud?

At times, right now the only decision I have made that I wish I didn't was putting vinyl on my car and choosing nine inch wide rims. Now I would like to go with some wider rear ties and I think painted stripes look much better and last much much longer. Other than those two minor things I am happy with every other decision I have done.

yeah, now that Jewel isn't a daily driver, I think 8" fronts and 10" rears will work.

I still like 9 in the font because it allows a 275 up there, but I would have liked 10 rear. Oh well you live and learn and if there will be a next car I mod like this one, I will try not to make the same choice.

I have also regretted some decisions I have made to mod my computer. Ordered a new case last night

not interested in wider tires up front. smaller the better. don't plan on going on a road course or auto X. Live my live 1/4 mile at a time...maybe 1 mile at a time, sometimes. lmao
