CORBRETTA is born!

I think Corvetta sounds better Anyways, I say spend the extra $ and get the Z06 one intead of C5, just because you do so much track racing with it, however, if you plan on suspension upgrades anyways, I don't think it should matter. Oh yeah, and there is a Guy with a W-Body GP that has done a simila...

New Engine Update

I guess I just REALLY find it hard to believe it would be easier to take the V6 engines out the bottom. Edit - N, I don't have an access to a lift either, so no I wouldn't know how easy it is to drop one, I don't think I would ever really try, never had problems pulling it out the top, leaving suspe...

New Engine Update

Oh wow, idiot is right, dropping an engine, no thanks, good old fashion thru the top for me.

Gear oil you mean right?  5spd don't have "trans" fluid, its just more of gear oil 85W or so, or as I call it "*** Oil" since it smells so bad haha

Rebuilding the 3.1L

You know another thing you could always try is do what Curtis Walker has done, use Iron Heads and a 3.4 Camaro intake I believe it is.  Yeah it is a bit extreme but last I remember hearing that engine breaths and can make power upwards and beyond 8000 RPM....
Hybrids can be rather run
