Eddie44 Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 This is the ?last C4?. It still has the plastic on the seats. Sorry for a bad shot but the GM Performance guys were all huddled around it. I don?t think most of them were out of college when it was built in 96. Proof the old girl (Vette, not wife) was actually there.Sorry, I thought the stop was at the Speedway but here it is. They had drag racing all afternoon. Alot of folks skipped MidAmerica and went straight to the drag strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 One of GM Performance Divisions toys. Guy said it was a low 12 sec GTO. Sounded absolutely awesome! I didn?t see it run so I?m taking his word.A little humorI?ve never seen one of these. No, the pic isn?t backwards.New addition to the back of my vert. I wanted Phil and Glenn to see the pic cause they?ll never see it in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 One of the places we stopped today. Thought this was a great photo op. The press pagoda on the main straightThe start/finish lineEver wonder where all those SSR?s went?Passing through Louisville and neither Kim or I realized Churchill was here until we saw signs.We are in Nashville tonight. Staying at the Opryland where the Tour stopped. Tomorrow we go back to Bowling Green for a plant tour and the NCM :Then its back to Phoenix : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie44 Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Well, made it home in one piece! We left Bowling Green about 1pm on Wed after doing the plant tour and NCM. Drove to Little Rock, Ark and the next day drove to Albuquerque, NM. Drove in today from there. Both Kim and I agree that it was a great adventure and suggest it to any of you that might be considering a long road trip like this. We did 5025 miles and 13 states in 11 days. The Vette performed flawlessly, not even a qt of oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie44 Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 This was one of the best stories. Everyone was laughing at him the first couple days. He stayed at our hotel one night and I got to talking to him. He's got about $8-10K in the motor and drivetrain. How do you spell "SLEEPER"?I saw him run in the drag races at Indy. Couldn't see what the ET was but I can tell you he'd have beat the pants off most of us (other than Glenn & Dan) and he'd have kicked Dwayne's 14.99 in the azz!
