We entered our 68 Vette in the Brea PD car show today thinking it would be the last show we enter it in before we sell it and we won the 1965-1975 Class.Now Beth asked me "Do we really want to sell the 68?" There was alot of nice cars & trucks there including a fire truck with a Straight 18Cyl engine,it sounded like a Locomotive.

Vic Edlebrock and Pat Musi interview

I understand Musi is one of the best engine builders in the country, didn't one of the guys here have his motor built by Musi? I would love to hear his comments

Thanks for the info. Its something for me to take note of. The battery went dead once last year for no reason (car was 2 weeks old at the time) but hasn't happened since.

If they want a mid-engined car or a V6, name it something else.

They'll shoot themselves in the foot if they do that on the vette. Even reducing the displacement won't go over well.


GM hasn't shown even the slightest bit of direction or good sense. They are capable of almost anything.


Sad.... but true

Granted there are V6 engines out there that can produce the power of a V8. Corvette is one of the last nostalgic American sports cars. The failure of GM can be contributed to the mis management and the brain dead marketers. Instead of GM laying off thousands of workers, they should get rid of the big wigs, who fly around in their fancy corporate Jets, and replace them with the workers they laid off. I bet GM would come back with a bang.

I would like to know what they found. My wife drives the 08 most of the time and this is a concern for me, especially when she goes on those 2 hours drives to see the kids.
