The pic is coming up as a bit of an abstract for me Bob (only the very top of the pic is loading properly for me).

Here's a car belonging to a guy I know in Florida who has named his Vette the Grandsport C3.
He's now pulling 11.05sec 1/4 mile times in a car that is still a street driver tho not a daily one.
Those side pipes are not fitted with any mufflers either. Ask me how I know.;eek

I took that video!;eek It was in the underground carpark of his old condo in Miami.
We drove for 4 hours in that thing one night from Miami to Tampa and as I mentioned.....no bloody mufflers in those sidepipes!

Different video! I met Oliver in Tampa earlier this year and took some video of him idling his C3 outside the Baymont during CI-VI. ;35

Wouldn't mind seeing your vid though.  I can't imagine hearing that thing in an underground carpark. ;39 :22

If it's too loud you're too old...;41

Then again, after hearing Oliver's car - a car that loud could be a sign that you're nuts... ;ay :22
