I HAD A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT RECENTLY DONE AND EVERYTHING IS aS EXPECTED. ALL HIPS SHARP AND CRISP. ALL LINES MATCH BETTER THAN FACTORY. Now for the bad. This Vette is a high horsepower car and needs hightest fuel and is not for the faint of heart or inexperienced. I am confident anyone who knows how to drive a manual shift car can drive this Vette. This Vette is a monster and not only loves fuel but loves to be loud and go fast. I am in my later years and still enjoy a fast car. the original motor is the big question and unfortunitly I don't have an exact answer. I think it was a small block car but I've been told it originaly might have been a big block car also. The work on this Vette is so amazing its hard to tell what is still original and what has been changed, aside from the obvious. No sway bar on the rear. Colors from the owner. July 21, 2008. |
