Hmm.... I forgot about this one. I haven't used this, but I'll use it sometime

M power: thanks man I just tell you like it is withought any twist. I like all the nice cars like many ppl on car forums.

It is true that many S2k owners are in MAD LOVE with our cars and blinded by the love. I love my S2k too even though I thin the car is kinda slow from time to time, but I do take my blind folders off and realize that this car ain't some Ferrari.
I think the same logic can be said to other car owners too.

JLabonte,

Any mods on that Z06 yet? There might be a turbo kit coming out for our cars in 8 months or so. And no, I am not talking about LPE @ $40K. This one will be priced somewhere in the $6K range. I will definitely get one on top of my heads&cam. But I will have to get my bottem end built first.

Speaking of pistons....F*CK!!! When we did the head swap, I found out 4 of 8 pistons have eyebrowns on them. (For those that don't know what eyebrown is...it's the mark left on the pistons from smashing into the valves)

Two years ago, I missed a gear while racing with the stock shifter and went into 1st from 2nd, instead of 3rd at 70mph. There were a few bent pushrods and valves. I took it in the dealer and they fixed under warranty, but then they didn't mention anything about the freaking pistons. Oh well....That is another good excuse to get the bottem end built.

how about $$? ppl always say:

..yeah, but your car costs more
..then, i paid $$, you paid so much more. with the extra money (if i had it), i'd put blah blah blah in and blow the doors off your car.


i hear those often. money is relative, we all know that. if money was no object (plus knowledge), we'd all put glen in his place! hahhahaah....<ahem>, but until then, we will lose to the slowwwwww chevy! LOL
