Good thing it's nothing too serious Greg. I'm not on Instagram so not sure if you addressed how long you'll be down for?

So sorry to hear about the damage to the COPO. Glad that you were not injured!The damage was so extensive--reading your description of it was like reading a mystery novel, something new kept getting uncovered. What a mess! Wishing you a speedy repair!

Ah Greg, don't get you shorts in a bunch, It's just racing. Just swap out the broken motor with your spare and clean up / repair the tiny mess and you'll be good to go.

But bad, and if you keep racing you'll eventually experience some of these, is when the blower comes through the hood or a rod comes through the side of the block and knocks off the front wheel. These things do happen, it's just racing.

As long as when you finally roll to a stop you have four tires on the ground and the car is not on fire it was a pleasant evening

Is this what happens when you take things to the limit... what is the normal RPM's you are clocking at 8.34... and how far do you want to take.... vroom...!

Greg, on youtube watching Scotty Kilmer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QOhj_ZQlxs

He was showing older 2001 corvette with 6 speed still super nice low miles 30mpg at 70mph. I had no idea these beautiful cars existed at this price point. What would you recommend for the average joe intreasted?
