Brett PowersAug 09, 2011 Boooo! Optispark probs here he comes!
Ken MadisonAug 08, 2011 A new LT1??? Why not a LS1/6?
Chris BensonAug 08, 2011 Guess you guys have never been to a Street Rod Plus show? At the Louisville show, there are at least 5 that I have counted, that have had the full treatment, from white to red to black. I could go on, but this is not the best example.
Davey EdwardsAug 08, 2011 Switch the lt1 for an ls7 and it's perfect
Caleb LochridgeAug 08, 2011 This is the perfect cruisin' car
Jared RamosAug 08, 2011 I wish Chevy still made cars out of metal... Instead, they give us plastic rocket-ships! I love the corvette for what goes on under the hood, but the older vetted were perfect examples of power and design.
Daniel LayAug 08, 2011 This is beautiful those lights, grill and front hood just work perfect
Christian CandlerAug 08, 2011 This is awesome! I wish I had one of these

Patrick SchalkAug 09, 2011 Yeah LTs were known to be pretty torquey though. This is a good engine for a crisper. Personally, I would've put an LS1 in it but they did a good job either way.
Taylor J. BlakeAug 08, 2011 The original engine didn't put out more than 300 hp. Just around 280 ish. So no need for an outrageous amount of hp
Greg LewisAug 08, 2011 That lil car doesn't need 500hp, that there is a cruiser, head turner that can get up and go.
Daniel LayAug 08, 2011 Yah more power would be awsome but I wouldn't thrash this thing around or drive like a mad man
Peter BruschiAug 08, 2011 i wish they wudda used a more stock, original engine, i hate how they rip out the good stuff in these classic cars nd throw in some modern crap... its even worse than small block chevys in ford coupes...
Shane CarrollAug 08, 2011 Not very impressive, but I doubt you'd be flogging this thing

Patrick SchalkAug 09, 2011 I do agree with Chad about the top too. It looks very out of place IMO with the turquoise. Rims wouldn't be my first choice but I don't think they look that bad.
Luis AndradeAug 08, 2011 Almost perfect ( ugly rims)
Taylor J. BlakeAug 08, 2011 Get rid of them rims and put American racing rims on it with white wall tires
Caleb LochridgeAug 08, 2011 I'm sorry, but the rims ruin it for me. That'd be the first and only thing I'd change if I had this car
Peter BruschiAug 08, 2011 whts not to like about the rims? theyre not too bad...
Chad SawyerAug 08, 2011 I'd change the rims and have a white top. It still looks good though.
