Vette(s): 1976 Silver/Firethorn. L48, 4spd. Original 2 bolt, vortec heads, 9.4:1 CR, Speed Pro Cam: 224/224@0.050, 112 LSA, Eagle Steel Crank.

I was sure there was no such thing as a "Shelby Corvette" but I guess these cars kind of sort of qualify????   But they look more like a Ferrari to me than a 'Vette.  Wink
