Brother works for GM so am kind of partial . When is GM going to step up - GM needs an LS7 Corvette of the 2000's 8O NO what GM needs to do is do a retro like ford has . Bring back the big bad 427 all aluminum engine in , lets say a split window coupe . Add a rock crusher 4 or 5 speed tranny ( only need the clutch when starting and stopping ) and nothing made in NA would even come close to touching it . :!: :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the blue white stripped 60's series GT Vette ? - that would be cool - flared out 67 coupe - or a split window combo - Mike you and I should join the GM test team.

That would be a dream come true AK . I would even consider giving up golf for something like that . I can't remember the designation for the engine off hand , but a all aluminum 427 would be the about the fastest non - tuned engine there is . Even the Vipers engine's are tuned just a bit to give it that little extra . I can remember one of those engine's in a Vette that was tuned and put out close to 600+ horsepower . I try and get the designation form a source other than my brother and let you know what it is . Also did you know that in the late 60's early 70's GM made a engine that was 596 cubic inches . It was a very special order and not many people knew about it or could afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainsaw Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 That concept convertible El Camino GM just put out certainly ain't the answer. I was at a high school baseball game and one of the kids had one, gawd it was ugly. (Hopefully none of you guys are sporting one or I just put my foot in my mouth which I'm usually pretty good at). I love the GT40, that thing is so sweet. My buddy's dad has a Ford dealership in Dallas and they were thinking they were gonna get two to sell. I think he was keeping one and doing an auction on the other one. I actually hit balls this weekend and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The new 300 tour wasn't happening for me though. I really don't think I can hit a driver that's over 44" long. I usually just take the length off the butt end but I'm thinking about tipping it a half inch. Wonder what that would do for me? Sounds like a post for another forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the Yenko racing motor 's :D AK do you remember the old CAN - AM racing series from the 60's and 70's . Had the like of McLeran and Stewart , Donahue , Hulme etc . That is where most of the 596's went to . They were in the M80 McLeran car and they put out 950 HP . Then Donahue came in with the Porch that had 1000HP . 8O Wish we had a whistle smilie . Yenko now there is a name I have not heard of in a very long time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw I drive a little cavalier :lol: If your dad's buddy does keep one , then the next time you are there get him to take you for a ride that would be way cool man . chainsaw , take it off the butt first. That way if you do decide to tip it you can always add the length with an extension . Kind of hard to do it the other way around if it doesn't work out for you . :) btw: what shaft is in it ??

chainsaw Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 btw: what shaft is in it ?? It's a fuji 757 stiff. One of the other problems was the grip felt really small. I hit some of the ugliest low hooks I've ever seen, I was waiting for a guy to pop up from behind a blind and shoot one of the ducks I was serving up. I hit some great long irons but my 9 and PW were suffering. I'm gonna get the swing weights checked cuz I swear something is off somewhere. I just don't know any good guys to take them to here in Vegas. My usual shop closed down a few weeks ago and now I'm stranded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw I drive a little cavalier :lol: I rock it out in my POS '92 cavalier... what a junker... but its fun to drive around and remember the clubs in the back are worth more than the car they ride in. Once I get out of the city I'll get something a little more current to get me around... but a nice car in the city is just a target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainsaw Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Here's a link to the convertible El Camino. It's ten times worse in person. http://www.gmbuypower.com/vehicleHomePage....ellingSource=13 There isn't a thing in the world wrong with rockin' a cav. I'd kill to get over 13 miles a gallon right now. Gas is 2.09 a gallon and it's running me around 45 bucks to fill up the F-150 these days. The guy that runs or ran ScottyPutters.net just opened a shop up here but after some of the stuff that went down elsewhere I was a little reluctant to use him. Have you guys ever dealt with that site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you guys ever dealt with that site? Am unable to follow the link from work , so will have to take your word for it chainsaw . 2.09 a gallon thats not bad at all . Up here it is 84.9 cents a liter . So when you do the conversion to a US gallon which is 3.8 liters that is almost 2.50 a gallon and for a Imperial gallon which is 4.56 liters thats like 3.35 US a gallon. Have never dealt with them over the net , but am sure if you go directly to them in Vegas the service is probably pretty good . I plan on visiting the store while I'm there . Plus a couple of other's like the Ashworth factory outlet :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole gas shortage thing is a big conspiracy anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
