Hi everyone. I got hooked on the rear suspension updates for C3 Corvettes, and figured I'd be more then a lurker.

oh yeah, I love the GNXs. That said, most of my stuff is way older, but I tend to hybrid those as well - for example, I'm building an aluminum headed, fuel injected, twin turbo 462 for my 50 Buick.

HEHEHEEHE OH effin' LOVE IT!!!!.....been a hotrodder for some near 60 years now, ever since older kids moved in my neighborhood,....
Whole ton of fun, best shared back channel as most of the guys here are bored with my chatter by now......
but I put a old Caddy DPFI system off a 425 on my 462" Pontiac Lemand vert, and so it was called the 'Goat'.....hauled ass pretty good....bumped economy by some 4 mpg, not bad for a old open loop system....

true, I should have built her a Corvette; however, read the blurb at the start of the build - the why that car and that motor.... then it all kind of makes sense.... in an insane sort of way :3rd:

A few years ago, wife said the word Miata and enjoyed driving my sisters' Miata up in Pa. so I parked one in the garage, and so she opened the door when she got home....AND so, since I got it for her, hummmmmm CTS engine, eh?? it's already a automatic car....but open diffy, maybe should upgrade that first, eh??

nice things about the CTS motor: small packaging, wrecking yards are giving them away, and as long as you stay with the 2006-7 motors, you can do about anything to the heads/exhaust.... oh yeah, did I mention 300 hp stock?
They did the Miata on Gears - love that idea of the Ford t-bird rear differential. I almost did the same thing to the Fiat, but it wouldn't fit (rear).
