No thanks. That guy is a total crook.


Yeah, but I wouldn't kick a Hennessey Supercharged Cadillac or RAM Mammoth out of the garage for having his name on it...

As long as someone else paid for it and I’m not risking my money. There’s no doubt he makes fast stuff like many other shops but some of the criminal stuff he has done won’t have me risking my money that’s for sure.

If it was my money it would go to LMR.

Oh man that is a beautiful piece of machinery. Congrats!

I had a 65 4 speed small block. Would rather have a new one to not deal with frequent tuning.

Though I'm more a coupe kind of guy, nicely done with the C8 vert. Congrats. You will love the car. I've test driven them a couple of times but I just can't fathom selling my Porcupine 911 to fund the purchase.

Holly is making some really nice stuff to update that small block.

Congrats on the new C8.
Had a C3, C4, C5, & C6 from '73-'15. I hung out with a great group of Vetters that met every Sat. for a big Rock 'N Roll car show in Scottsdale for over 20 years... even after I sold the C6.
One of that group let me test drive his C8 convert.
I think I 'need' one. Happy motoring and don't forget to wave!

That's a beautiful car!


I can't imagine the anticipation you have for driving that. Heck, I've been itching to get the '91 Miata out of the garage, but we keep getting hit with snow. If I recall correctly you're a bit north and west of where I'm at.

Yes the weather has not been cooperating. If it doesn't snow, and the roads look ok on the way to Onalaska, I want to bring it home tomorrow. Weather looks good Monday/Tuesday so I can give it a bath. I am in SE MN. Close to the arm pit of the but crack of MN I call "Crotchester" Big Grin

This car is just incredible in person. Pictures do it no justice, and it needs a good bath. I am leaving it there for now, the roads were a mess on the way down. I am going to install a few add-ons then its going for tint and a detail. I will post some pics once it's home and all cleaned up.

The weather here was not good at all in April. The detailer just finished the PPF and the ceramic coat. Hoping the rest of May is much better.
