Make sure you either get something much newer that all of the kids can relate to. My nephew and his (Late teen's and Early 20's) buddies are nuts about the LS1, DP and Cobra Jet cars.

Peer pressure from so called friends can get them to really dislike or like something so no offense to anyone, but don't buy anything earlier than 1995.

Agreed 100%. Plus, one of the major goals of the program was to show students how important the computer science aspect is in tuning late-model FI cars. Logging data, looking at weather, and making spreadsheets will be something I'll show the students how to do.

After looking at a handful we have decided to buy Dean's '98 LT1 Firebird. Dean has been extremely professional to work with and went above and beyond what could have been expected answering my many questions as well as giving us a deal. We are getting his car, spare engine and transmission, enclosed trailer, and well as anything else he has sitting around for the car. The paperwork with the grant takes a bit of doing to get him paid but hopefully we'll take delivery before the end of the month.

Still racing that beautiful yellow '69 Camaro Ross and winning all of those bracket races? Boy, it's been a long time since I've seen you run a Coastal Plains. The good ol' days ...
