Me and Zane will likely be there....we will be the ones in the corner ogling the GTO

I think Scott means we all should go to Bowling Green and talk about the 5th gen.....that doesn't mean he will provide info...he will just referee the SS vs. Z28 deathmatch.

I about took the family to the National Corvette Museum last year on vacation, but I let my wife talk me out of it. My son (he's 6) love's Corvettes, plus I'd like to go and see the plant. My daughter doesn't care much for stuff like that, so that's why we didn't go. My wife and I were talking just last night that I needed to take DJ up there. This looks like the perfect opportunity. That, and by my trusty PC*Miler, I live only 245 miles from Bowling Green. See ya there Red!!

RED PLANET'S Thoughts

I wonder if RP has seen Kris Horton's Fifth Element Concept in Popular Hot Rodding and I wonder what he thinks about it.

Hey, Red! Care to share your thoughts on this one?

Thanks!

Not sure ....if it's the picture several have sent me ...with the snub nose, I don't care for the front end....remember, aerodynamics is very important when talking about a performance car..........Didn't see the latest Pop. Hot Rodding. (hey Johnny....I need to change my subscription now that you're over there!!!!)

I WILL say this.....I've received a ton of pictures and images over the past two years....and there's some good stuff out there!

Red,

You going to be at M7 this year? Bowling Green is a pretty long drive for me (I live in Clarkston).

Oh... one more thing...

I just got approval from my company to install an Electronic Throttle Control system in my Camaro SS as a technology demonstrator and sales tool for our new ETC sensor technology. Would you be interested in taking a look when it's done?

It's gonna have a "grandmother" switch like the ZR-1's had ("Valet" position), but we're doing it much differently than the ZR1 did.

NOT a sales pitch to you bro, just thought you might be interested in seeing something nifty that is using your baby as the demonstrator.

If I can pull it off in time I'll have it at M7 and make a few runs.

After that it goes to Europe for a little while, and I'm going to see if I can make my German coworkers pee their pants with a few hard launches.

Betcha I can....

It'll also end up at Ford for a few presentations... that's gonna be a hoot!

I hate to come there only to be the 1,000th F-body and to see your face when you have to drop the smokes for good! Talk about no stress relief at work you'll go bald in a year!

Whats up stranger what happened to meeting up??
