Subject: New Here by Crazy8 on 2008/1/25 16:18:03 Hey All, Not new to Corvettes, on my 3rd one now (86 Coupe). I've owned a 93 Coupe (went by the screen name: Whitvette93 on the CF, back then). When I moved from my 93 to the 01 Z06, my screen name changed again to QuikZilver (haven't changed it...still this on the CF). Back in August, I traded my beloved Z06 in on a 2007 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T (# 981 of 1400 Plum Crazys), due to my wife and I getting ready to adopt a child from the State of Florida. This has been put on hold, due to an accident that claimed the lives of my parents and my wife's parents (they became best friends after we were married, my parents moved up to NC and lived less than a mile from my wife's parents). My wife and I are trying to put our lives back together after this immense shock. At the start of this year, a fellow Charger owner tipped me off on an 86 Coupe that his father-in-law wanted to sell. Price was right... $ 3,800. Interior is garbage, but I already have a lot pulled out and am starting to replace the ugly blue (sorry, if you have blue interior, but it just isn't my taste) and replace with black and red. It is going to be going into a performance shop at the end of February for a complete overhaul. I was going to shoot for 10's in the quarter, but after test fitting the seats I am putting in, I don't have room for the cage required to run that low. New goal will be 11.6. This is about as fast as I can run without a cage. My Daytona R/T will be coming off the track and used as a daily driver as soon as my Vette is done. I race out at Moroso Motorsports Park in the Mopar Challenge and will be back in the Corvette Challenge soon. Here are some pictures of my new 86 Vette:     |
