Have to see how it runs. I have been having serious thoughts about buying that Corvette. Im just a little leary about running a stick car but Ive always been a Corvette lover. I have 2 for the street so maybe one for the track????? Its called the "Last Hurrah".

Terry, if racing a Corvette again is on your bucket list, there is no more fun out there than this one. The automatic stuff does not compare and I would say anymore, not cheaper than a stick. Not to say that racing an auto is not fun, I have raced both and I say for me, the fun factor is way higher in a stick.

Yes,,,,One more race (stocker) car IS on my "Bucket List" . The last stick car I raced was my 1969 Corvette 350/300 back in the stone age and all after that were automatics. Muncie trans and 7 inch tires. Never broke anything until 1972 when NHRA put all of the Jr. stocks into S/S. Then I broke everthing except the sterring wheel. Up graded parts are much better in todays racing. Have to think hard about it as once the $$$$ is gone then its gone and Im retired (retarded?) now. I hope I need to send YOU GUYS the win check this time around. Good luck.
