Maybe it's just angry about you only driving it 12k miles in the last 7 years...

It knows that you want 14K of mods, and it is happy the way it is.

I don't really understand the question... When you try to start it, it just doesn't get the rpms up to speed, and you have to try to start it again? Video may help...

Awesomeness??? What a geek!

I honestly dont know what your problem could be. It can be many things. The starter and ignition are the first two things that come to mind.

All my $14K of mods will be done too

Will they now??? You better change that list to include a fully forged motor and a kenne bell...

Im getting darn good at launching this thing without spinning, and all I can say is that it takes off like a raped ape.

Im taking the Vette to be dynoed later this month. I have seen dyno sheets showing 390 to the wheels all sock. Im hoping for 400 with my exhaust setup.

Make sure you post em. I definitely am interested to see what I'm up against

Besides, you can scream by with your 400rwhp, no one will watch, its just another Vette

But the UBERBULLITT???

Droves of people will come to show their admiration. Gorgeous women will throw themselves at me, men will aspire to achieve my superior levels of awesome. All will bow down to the Almighty Arin....

On the serious side, it would be fun to cruise with that Vette of yours. You would be the first non-jerk I've known with a new one. Or you could bring your V6, which I think is also sweet. Modded 6's are always cool, even if they aren't blisteringly fast like that plastic fantastic of yours

Am I the only one who can not even attempt to read this, let alone say it aloud because of how insane it sounds?
