    Subject: Re:anyone here?
    I'm here too, been a member a couple of years, I think. I usually don't open the emails because there usually aren't any messages. I have a '96 coupe, daily driver, with almost 70,000 miles on it. It's my second Corvette. My first was a '93 Ruby. I feel the same way about my car that some of you feel about yours. I feel like it's perfect. I love the full clamshell hood so I don't have to lean across fiberglass to get to the engine. I love the fuel filler hole in the center of the back so it doesn't matter which side the pump is on when I pull into a station. I love the headlights that roll up and love the balance of crisp and soft lines of the body. There's a lot of room under the hatch, more than two golfbags' worth. I can even carry 8' stock lumber, if I want to. I've done it before, diagonally from the left back corner to the pax footwell, and was able to close the hatch. I've asked all 300 horses of my happy little LT1 to gallop. I got it up to 136mph on a 6,003foot strip of pavement, and could have gotten it faster if I didn't back out of the throttle so early, and taken out the 50lb bag of horse feed from the back, and put premium gas instead of regular, and didn't have a nearly 200lb ballast in the right seat saying, "that's enough, that's enough," with growing anxiety in his voice. Of course, when he took the left seat, he pushed on up to 139mph before backing off. It was a spur of the moment decision to make the runs. Preparation would be better. NO, I won't say where I was. Ego would love 600+hp. I don't see why the clutch or any other part couldn't handle that engine when the car's used as a daily driver, or even on the track. Look at race cars. I'd prefer normally aspirated and higher volume than the new ZR1, such as the C6RS with its 8liters and C6R styling, though the clear hood sections of the ZR1 are very cool. But again, that's ego because the new ZR1 is smaller volume than ZO6. For some reason, size matters, at least psychologically. The cost is unreal. I'd rather stick with my bargain basement 'glass. Another thing I love about the C4s, they can be had for reasonable cost right now. Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page. http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

    I wonder if any one was here...i have been on the list for 2 years now and have gotten about a dozen emails..... 74 singray under resto 93 LT1 coupe 6 speed...run this one in autocross....TN SCCA Nick teamgrumman@aol.com wrote: I'm on the list too. I started the TeamGrumman-List (www.AuCountry.com). I joined the Corvette list to see if there was any activity. That was some a few years back. I had a 69 427 Corvette in 75. I've often pondered the concept of a 79-71 Corvette with a C-5/C-6 chassis or just a major redo of the 70-71 suspension to take advantage of newer technology. I've also thought of installing an LS-7 with a 6-speed auto in it also. Until I have a whole lot of spare money, I'll just keep driving my Tahoe.

I own a 2000 FRC, I have been subscribed to this list for several months and have yet to receive a list related E-mail. I also belong to the KOLB list that has lots of activity, and several Corvette forums with daily postings. Is there something wrong with my computer set up, or am I the only Corvette owner on this list at this time? Someone please reply, I feel so alone!
