Thats a good point but the motor i have has 425hp as it sits once i put a little more into it will have 650+ hp so weight is not a big deal i can always compensate with a wing and other things

You can always swap in an LS2, which comes in at 20lbs lighter than the VQ IIRC.





What side emblems? The ones on the fenders?
LS2 is still in the R&D stages for the Z33, from what I've read. A rebuilt VQ longblock would be the way to go.

Yeah, the side fender emblems.

I'd drive the Z to work if I could, but only on good weather days. I'll keep my eyes out for you, though. I have a friend who's mom is way up on the food chain for Larry Reid's Chrysler in Bloomington.

Didn't take much for Noah to drop the LS2 into his Z33.


Why are you getting rid of your side emblems? Or are these extras?

They're extras from my last bumper mishap.

Some dbag ran into a power pole a block from my house these evening. WE lost power for about an hour or more. The van annihilated the pole and went into the bushes and trees.

Couldn't find the perp. But at least I took the dog for a quick walk to check out the accident.

Janik, I thought you didn't like RF. Too slippery or slick was the comment I read from you. If I had the car all fixed up like I wanted, then I would go just to try it out.
