Yeah the 572 I really want for the Nova is 750HP, but it's also $13,000. Plus, I'd have to modify the suspension a lot and at least mini-tub it, which I don't want to do to this one. I want this Nova to be completely original looking, down to the jade interior. What's really fun is I'm taking Paint, Body, and Welding classes, and I'm going to take Upholstery, Suspension and probably electrical. So, I'm doing all the work myself.

Well, it's official!
I'm getting a new engine for my truck...
They don't know if I'm getting a long or short block, but when my oil pan blew, it took a chunk out of the block...
And I'm getting a free rental!
I got a nice spiffy red G6

Glad you are getting the truck fixed for free. Gotta post up some pics of that G6 doing doughnuts up there in all that snow. lol. Well hopefully they'll do it right and not screw you up too bad like JHarper's rebuild.

As for the donuts... Well, we'll have to see, lol
It is a pretty quick little car, though... I even kinda like driving it! Odd, for an FWD.
