Congrats on the sale & new purchase. Out of curiosity, what was the take price on your 240? Still trying to sell my '91.

+1 my 240 was great out of the hole. Pm'ed with the price I let my car go for.

Welcome to the forum, now join us for dinner this weekend

They are quick, roomy (Even though I'm not a big guy), have huge potential, reliable, but gas milage?!? Hell no.


My 5.0 drinks this gas by the gallons.


Where is dinner? I'm sure there must be a sticky.

Ohh yeah! Not drifting style like my 240, but just a little gas swings her out.

Congrads on the purchase!!! It looks really clean and it will be fun. Bring it to the next meet. You can follow myself or LS1Killer down from SH.

As far as the vette goes, yes it is faster in stock trim. However, a nice supercharger on your ride and you will be faster for way less $$$.

Hope to see you around!!!

My Dad always used to make fun of me because I had an import, and it was slow, and all that shit about my car.

He can't say shit about my car now.


...Except for, "Get that fucking piece of shit Ford out of my driveway!!"


Soon enough, it will be modded to run him enough to shut him up.



That would be great. When is the next dinner meet? Like I said before, I'm sure there is a sticky, I just haven't checked yet.


Next weekend?

The sticky is at the top of this forum.
However, I also like it when someone post the info up!!! Next two events are....

July 16 – Sonic On Hillsborough Ave.
(4315 W. Hillsborough Ave, Tampa, 33614 )

July 30 – Quaker Steak And Lube
(10400 49th Street, Clearwater, 33762 )


The last one was at the NPR Wing House.

Well, just wait long enough. IF he sells the Vette, I am assuming from your sig., you might be able to tell him to get his slow-ass Cobalt out of your way... (Chevy guys, this is all in fun.... )
I understand what you are going through. My dad had always had Goats and BB Chevys. However, age has gotten to him and now he drives a VAN!!!!


....down by the river!! (This was just for any Chris Farley fans!!)

I might be able to make it to the Hillsborough meet. Is there anyway we can all meet up (Us guys from the Spring Hill area) and then ride out together to Tampa?


He isn't selling the Vette anymore. I guess I should edit my sig.

Soon, he is getting headers and ram air to throw on the LS1 and that will just make it a bigger gap between my car and his.

I wouldn't see why not. We usually scoot down the Citrus, so it should be easy to meet up.

Yea, headers are good on the Vette. I also hear that a cam really wake them up. However, that just means a few more pounds of boost!!!
