Gave me $6,000 for the ruby. Had a little under 85,000 miles on it, and some minor body damage. But would have been probably $500-600 in body work, plus a full paint job to make it perfect.

Mechanically it was 100%.

Seats and radio didn't work. But I don't think they even checked that stuff.

I paid $9,300 for it three years ago. Another $800 or so for the wheels. So I lost my shorts a little. But I did enjoy the car when I was able to use it. So I got my money's worth out of it, in a matter of speaking.

I'm not going to talk about how much I lost on the Lincoln...

Paid cash for both of those cars, so it was just fun money anyway. I don't drink, smoke, snort or travel. Cars are my thing. So it's all good.

you should really consider it. Drag racing, all kinds of events and tech/ speakers, dancing girls, BG is a pretty area of the country. Museum is awesome to tour, great time, we'd love to have more C4's represent. A bunch of cars are doin a caravan this year, some will meet at my place, any and all are welcome to join in.

was that your 13 or 14 sec pass?

I see that marriage has not cured your assholism problem
that was a low 12 pass, before latest haibeck mods,

I pretty much agree with cuisinartvette..... tough to go to 7000 rpm with a hyd roller.... some do it, but its usually when everything is fresh.... a month later after the springs have gotten a bit loose, valve float starts appearing by 6500 rpm. Nowadays there are quite a few solid rollers built specifically for the street... typically with nice valvetrain friendly gentle lobe ramps, thus adjusting lash isn't required every other week and instead just 1 or 2 adjustments per year are necessary.

But, I won't vouch for how well they do with prolonged idle that a daily driver see's.....I hear some have figured out how to make them last, others say don't run them on the street.... that is, if you're a daily driver seeing extended street driving. Its a tough decision and should be based upon how you truly are going to drive your vette.

But, with 427 cubic inches, with a solid roller, to have a HP peak at 7000 rpm is more cam than you think with a 23 degree head.... something in the range of 264/268 and even a bit bigger would be required.... that same cam could take a 383 to over 7000 rpm, but your motor would eat it up....talk to skidownit on the corvette forum.... I think that is the cam he has been running or thereabouts, and I think his peak is still before 7000 rpm with his 434.... which is par for the course.

If its a true street car, I'd suggest you stay with a hyd roller in the 240 area, if your motor is running right, it should make 550 HP at around 5600-6000 rpm.... and even as much as 575ish..... which is an awful lot of power for the street.... almost stupid power. It'll be perfectly happy with a tight 3k converter as well.

good luck with whatever you do and let us know what you decide on.

The market has hit the C6's hard too. I have been seeing alot of nice examples with slightly high miles sell for mid 20's or less.
They are calling out to me.

I have that same lift...they are nice. I can put the Corvette all the way up, the wife's Bonneville, I can put up about 3/4 the way up. The Pickup, I can get it up high enough that I don't have to crawl around on my back on the floor, and luckily I am still flexible enough to squat and do what I need to do on the pickup.

BTW, I have since added the aluminum ramps. They are very nice to have.

I just missed the perfect car for $15k on Tuesday. Black 2002 with only 30k miles. It was a TT car, but that doesn't bother me because I was going to cage it, and I know the seller, anyway. I planned the trip south to pick it up this weekend but it sold locally within 8 hours.

I was soooo looking forward to posting pics on Monday. I still haven't recovered emotionally...
