[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3253530, member: 5316"] I understand stand the “hooked” part. I learned to drive in my dad’s 1965 396 4 speed Corvette. He sold it a few years later. I searched out a new left over 1981 4-Speed in early 1982 because I didn’t want the cross-fire injected 1982. I literally drove it off the showroom floor. It was a bit of a problem child. Broken cluster gear while in warranty. Cracked envision tubes, trans issue again, camshaft went flat, later a spun rod bearing (maybe self-inflicted but camshaft debris may have contributed). The last transmissible issue was fixed with a Doug Nash 5-Speed. After the rod bearing, I swapped in a 400” SBC that I had built for my 69 Camaro. I believe it was an honest 400hp. The car was finally awesome at this point about 1984. Not by today’s standards, but great fun then. I kept it for about 10 years. I’ve always wanted another but never have been able to justify it. An LS equipped 63-67. Or a Karl’s Kustom C6 to C2 body conversion. Now maybe a mid engine C8 can be on that list. [/QUOTE]
