Corvettes,Corvettes,Corvettes

I just returned from Carlisle Pennsylvania where the biggest Corvette show in the country is. I think that it’s sort-of like Woodstock because everyone is there to have a good time and no one robs anyone, people help one another and talk to people that they don’t know. I took 275 pictures of corvettes and that was only ten percent of all the corvettes there. My father and I are building a 1975 Stingray for my mom which is taking forever because he doesn’t have the time. We saw a 1975 that was really nice and almost bought it but that would defeat the purpose of us building a corvette. For those who don’t know what Carlisle looks like here is a YouTube video that are at Carlisle. At the show their was a Dyno machine that keeps the car stationary and the wheels are on a conveyor belt sort-of thing and it tested its horsepower. This YouTube video shows a C5 with a supercharger on the Dyno machine. My father and I were on the other side of the machine looking at the horsepower which toped out at 505, more than twice the power of a 06′ BMW! Also their was a burnout competition which took out the quarter panel of a brand new C6. That video here.
