I can imagine. He had some bad wheel spin coming out. That probably hurt him pretty bad. Beautiful car though. Do they all come with painted calipers? He had red ones.

[B]This is an S2000 board and if he doesn't want to hear negative comments about his vette, then he needs to go to a vette board.

Shizon - It's been my experience that most S2000 owners are above the sort of petty crap that has been exhibited here. The person who stirred things up was clearly not you, but one of our S2000 owners.

I think the opinions expressed by some are unfortunate and reflect only a small percentage or the members of this board. I would ask that you consider not replying to any more inflamatory (trolling) comments. I think you'll find that the vast majority of people here are also car lovers, support your participation, and welcome you to our little piece of the web.

Being a Chevy guy, I guess I was talking about "we" meaning the Chevy crowd. The block needed to get to 427 ci costs around 9 grand. You could also punch out the truck LS1 block (6 L block), but I doubt GM will cross that line.

Aside from tuner Vette's, the new Viper is pretty much out on it's own as far as balls out performance goes. The 02' ZO6 is a worthy opponent... but the 03' Viper is just crazy.
