Re: Project Corvette
That sucks, but I'm guessing you bought it with a worst case scenario in mind price-wise. Should be a lot of fun when it's done though.

Re: Project Corvette
Yea it was bought knowing the engine could be 80-90% toast, was just hoping to get lucky haha. Didnt think it would need a new clutch being only 13k miles old. I talked to Monster and they said their C7 twin disk they pulled off a high HP car with 40k miles and still looked great. So that is promising.

Re: Project Corvette
Glad to see progress is being made! I'm sure you'll love the C7 twin-disc. Did you go with the OEM flywheel, or the lightweight aftermarket?
