Thanks!

"bigjacksauto" - You're right, John did some ground breaking things! The company has recently started racing again. They have two new Camaro's they are running. One supercharged (based on the LS9/ZR1 engine) running NOS and another that is forced induction with one HUGE turbo.

As promised, here is a simple photo of my first HHR (hopefully the link works). I put just over 100 miles on it this weekend and so far, I love it! Right now, my average mpg's are just under 29mpg which is a HUGE jump up from my Outback!!

Thanks Guys!

As for modifications, with gasoline rumored to be heading North of $4, I don't think I'll be doing anything to decrease the mpg's...maybe try and increase them Then, with all the money I save, I can get my C6 Z06 faster! And that, I will surely modify!

Until then, I've got my motorcycle to soothe my speed/acceleration addiction

BTW, *Love* the Studebaker and 55 Chevy I actually grew up in the South Bend, IN area. My grandfather worked there for quite a while and owned a few. However, I don't think any of those came with the 6-71 option
