Nothing wrong with LT-1s as most around here would agree. The Vette engines had some nice torque at 340 and I love driving my sons 6 speed. Ive had 7 Vettes now, 2 Z06's 1 ZR-1, 1 81 C3, 1 89 L98, 1 94 vert and 1 93 40th anniversary ruby/ruby.

Thanks for the information FBodyjunkie. I will go to Home Depot and check it out.

Wow, that is clean. Good to know others have cleaned the underneath of their car to remove rust! I've had a few people tell me I will devalue my car if I put the rubberized coating underneath. Is that true?
