RE: c5 body upgrade kiy
in my opinion (i know everyone has one!) the c4 is the cleanest, finest vette since the split window. my first vette was a '67 convertible. when i started shopping this time (30+ years later) i looked at c3's, c4's & c5's.
Again, in my opinion, the c4 was the one!!
I have to agree with "notorious", why mess up a good c4... if you want a vette that looks like a c5, get a c5...
keep the wave and the dream alive

So Black86vette, did you do the CORRECT thing and get the hole fix?
Many people customize their vehicles with add ons. Most don't add value but when people try and sell them they want to recoup that money BUT it actually detracts from the value.
My 89 is approaching 19 years old, right now I just like keeping it stock with minor upgrades like a better exhaust when the original needs replacing, more current material when originals wear out. I laugh when I see a tricked out or pimped out C4 that runs like sh*t.

Just to name a few of my smallermods: intake has been upgraded FULLY, upgraded exaust, timing is at 6* Relocate maf sensor, underdrive pullys,...hmm wonder what else is under there with a teenage driver...All tune up parts are upgraded as I go along.[8D]
Now I am going straight for cosmetics but the hood is definatley close on the agenda. I am hoping to get some headers put on and then a professional dyno tune. This guy can get 20 ponies out of a completly stock motor. Anyone wants to race, I'm ready to wax your car once I get the tune and headers on hehe. As for my interior, its nice and unique. Exterior is too. .[sm=nxsmile.gif]
Plus lots of repairs along with a new cooling system which the radiator is upgraded from the p.o.s. factory and same with the waterpump.
In case you didnt, the new GTs have 300 ponies. Dang, my old car can beat them? gosh. Stoplight to stoplight I whipped 3 of there asses over the course since I had these mods on. So [:'(][:'(][:'(]to them. Yea, I bet they feel stupid getting beat my a old piece of crap huh.

Really? I know people running very solid 12s with only good traction, optimized gearing and of course excellent driving abilities. Are you telling us that your '86 can deal with that? Or even with a decent average LT1 running 13.30-40s? We'll want to see time slips.

As always Black86vette, you amuse me.... If you're ever in NC and see a dark LT1 coupe with a roll bar and black wheels, you'd be well advised to tread lightly. All throttle, no bottle....

I openly "new" that? Gosh, I can't believe I could forget such an important and relevant fact. Now I'll be living in fear daily that I might run up against your awesome car. What, you've got the airfoil and everything, right?[sm=helpout.gif][sm=yikesomg.gif] We're not worthy, we're not worthy......[sm=hail.gif] [sm=loser.gif]
