Most from the CF know me, but I am new to this site.
Intro: I bought my first vette ('85 red/red coupe in early '88), and then proceeded to work through many, many other C4 vettes, but bought my yellow '87 roadster in '89 and my red '89 coupe in '91. I have continued to own many other C4s, a very few C5s, and have had my yellow C6 roadster for ~2 years. People who know me would clearly say that the '87 roadster (Miss Nasty) is definitely my baby, although the C6 (Smiley) is definitely the best vette for any sort of cruise. The '87 has a lot of work done, with many different iterations along the way. Car has went from a 14.6@96MPH to the best being a 9.34@~153 with a high 1.7 60' time (she has more in her if I could get decent 60' times). Some of the more major changes are listed below: - first conversion to D44 in '92 - from 700R4 to ZF in '96 (got tired of replacing "built" autos) - went to a 355 with small blower in '99 - went to a fully built 408 in '01 (Crower Superlite, Oliver billet, JE customs, AFR 215CPs) and D1 - went to FAST with 84 lb/hr in '02 - went to D1R in late '02 - converted to C4SP in '04 - converted to xxOH and removed large IC in early '05 I know a little bit about blowers and turbos, as I have built and tuned a few along the way. The '87 made just over 820WHP at 10.8 psi and now is in excess of 25 psi. She is more than a handful on the street, which is where her name comes from (Miss Nasty). Aaron |
