Christmas Photos of the GREEN LT1
Drove the LT1 to Christmas then the lighting was nearly perfect for about 20-30 minutes before sunset and when I was about 1/4 mile from the house I had to stop and shoot some pictures...
CANON 60D 70-200 F4L shot most of them @ full 200 mm zoom from about 50-60 feet away. The paint has come along VERY nicely, Clay barred then Meguires number 7 about 3-4 applications until the gloss came back, then I have selectively used swirl remover o some of the surface blemishes and have removed 50% of what can be corrected without getting into the metallic.

3.55 M20 with the LT1 is just great all around gearing, but has taken time to get used to... the Black and Blue 69 Z's both had M20's with 4.10's - they were brutal off the line but were screaming by 60-70mph.
The 3.55 is fine off the line, but really fun when you come into a tight bend and do a quick down shift from 3rd to 2nd let out the clutch letting the engine drag you down... and then slowly add as you come through the apex - rolling hard onto the throttle, the tail just squats and the car just straightens right up as the secondaries begin to roar, BAM into 3rd and back into it - now finally a chance to look at the speedometer you see- 70-75MPH and have to back off... lol - too much fun.

C3's, especially the early ones, are so underrated and underpriced. Love yours.

You aren't kidding.. though the LT1's are slowly creeping up... where else can you get solid lifters, a 4 speed, and original paint for under 50k? If you look hard and act quick they can be bought for 40k...

That looks great. My first Corvette (circa 1998) was a Brands Hatch LS-5 with no options except the leather interior. I remember paying $8500 for that car and driving to Indiana with my uncle to get it. Talk about being on top of the world....
