Summer is finally here
Today it broke in to the 70s, no jacket, no sweatshirt, just a T shirt. Man, what a fabulous day.
The Corvette came out for the first time this year, other then last week when I had to move it out of the way. Gave it a good washing.

Nice and clean now.

Gave it a good wax job.
P4010453.jpg
Wow, does she shine now.

Both bunk mates outside enjoying the weather.

Yep, it'* that time. time to put on the summer tires.

Touched up the caliper a bit. Not easy when it'* on the car. I'm going to have to get a new set and clean them all up and paint them real good.

Took a look at the rear brakes. Man, drum brakes last for ever.

I think I might look at lowering the car a bit.

Then my son came out and wanted to do some fighting.

I'm kind of tired now.

Looking on line it says the vette does 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. I tried like hell and got about 5.1, the run flat tires simply do not have the traction. And it says 1/4 mile is very high 12s, 12.8, 12.9. I'm thinking no way with those tires. Low 13s. The Bonnie I can do -60 5 flat all day. haven't tried with the new cam, gears and torque converter. hoping to hit 4.9 or better. Traction is a problem. And hitting low 13s in the Bonnie shouldn't be a problem. So, like I said, should be one heck of a race.
