[QUOTE="Bo Doodley, post: 130056, member: 4079"] Hey Riley - I really like your idea of a smoke show - my friends, kids and grandchildren will think I'm smoking something anyway. I expect there will be some great comments and remarks when my friends and family see me in this car. I will share them with the CCF for sure. As for the Vettes I owned in the past, the C2 ones were the most enjoyable for me because I was able to have fun with continuous rebuilding of the engine - especially the 327ci's that I had in both C2's. You had to constantly upgrade your engine to keep up with those pain-in-the-ass Mopar 340's. Nothing like the sound of a C2 with a small block (4-speed Muncie of course) and side exhaust. The most impressive C2 was the 396 / 425hp porcupine head engine that was in the late 65 model. The C2's in my experience were the most fun to own and play with - and in their era, they were in a class of their own style-wise. And I still think the C2 with side exhaust has the coolest sound to date. But they were straight-line cars. My 72 was a 454 I think 270 hp and was not a very fun car at all - I might as well have owned a Camaro. Great top end, but that was it. Didn't play around with this one - so much pollution equipment typical of the early 70's cars. My '98 C5 (manual) was a fantastic car - very comfortable ride and more than a straight-line car. I sold it a couple off years ago and that feeling has never left - hence the purchase of the C7. So there's a bit of background on the cars I have owned. Bo [/QUOTE]
