This guy offers an installed supercharger package for $7695, and I'll be in the 11's. Makes me want to spend money I don't have.

I've been keeping up on the Grond Chronicles since I first started visiting the Corvette Forum. That guy has had his car down to the bare frame and back up again. It's insane. Good to see he finally has it running.

As far as turbo Vettes go, nothing can top the Halltech system in sheer visual intimidation IMHO :D

*EDIT*

I just watched the video. That's not a turbo. It's a Paxton supercharger.

I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

looked at the pic again. not only has that blue vette not run...it wont run hard for long. that downpipe and manifold are much too close to the plastic PS and brake fluid resiviors.

When I met Jeff, we almost came to blows on that particular topic. I prefer the side moldings because I think they make the car look more aggressive. Jeff thinks only "faggots" keep them on the car. He stood up on a step so we could get nose-to-nose, and we screamed at each other about it. Vira finally had to break it up.
