This is my 1980 Corvette.  In the four years that I have owned it I have completely redone the suspension (set up for autocross ), all new brakes, new 330 HP 350 CI small block with Edelbrock Pro Flo fuel injection, and 700R4 transmission.  I replaced the 85 MPH speedo with a 140 MPH speedo, a little paint and body work, and new 18" wheels with high performance tires.  The car runs great with it's 3.70 rear gears and gets pretty fair gas mileage. Also I don't have to slow down too much for corners.
