I think we need three support groups. One for pre -ZL1 (right now) a group for when we actually get the car and a group for post ZL1 issues. Maybe we can get Scott to be the Group leader? He helped see to it that we all have these types of "issues." Remember this is a non curable disease or illness..

Awww fantastic armysig! My buddy in high school had that exact ride, 389 factory tri-power goat, it used to do the longest, sickest burnouts! I'll never forget riding in it and laying down all that rubber in the middle of the street...LOL..thanks for the pic!

I would like to acknowledge Bear and Htron with a passage from the original lyrics in the song "Little GTO"....a testiment to the Golden Age of GM and it's high performance dominance as it was recognized in the day by Ronnie and the Daytona's, performing artists whose song played on pop radio, (yes, AM radio folks!) a #4 song on the charts in 1964 that some of us may have been fortunate enough to experience back when...may this pop culture live forever.
"Little GTO, you're really lookin' fine Three deuces and a four-speed and a 389 Listen to her tachin' up now, listen to her why-ee-eye-ine C'mon and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out GTO"

Old School..... thanks for the nod! It looks to me like those on the ZL1 team are truly reaching out to deliver what will be an ICON of today.... but reaching BACK to BRING those of us who remember along for the ride. Nothing like this has happened since the late 60's....
You know in 1967 the 389 was bumped to 400 ci, and they dumped the 3 deuces for a quadrajet. I always wanted 3 - 2's, but kept my 67 stock. Sincere thanks again for the acknowledgement! |
