It is a '94 LT1 6 speed manual. 300hp, but I rev it over 3800 every now and then.

It's got 175k on it right now, and I think it's beginning to give me *rebuild me* signs, as the oil pressure is beginning to drop a bit more than I'm comfortable with. I'm just debating how much more than 300hp I want when I rebuild.

As for the Busa, the salt seized up the clutch slave cylinder down by the sprocket cover, and when I went to ride the bike after it having sat for 2 weeks or so after we got back from the trip, the lever was stuck obviously, so I grabbed it and had my *rawr* boy moment and broke the sprocket cover also. So, I finally got everything replaced/bled tonight, but of course the battery was dead, so the battery is charging now.

I guess it's a good thing I let you ride the 1098 from time to time.

When you get it rebuilt, you'll have to let me drive it again.
The poor thing needs to be properly utilized every now and then.

I guess you weren't at Harris Hill the day I was hot on Megan's ass chasing her around the track in her Z06 with Carolina right behind me in her 3. I was actually checking up a little, as she was leading the session. I had a couple of chances I could showed her a wheel, but I didn't want to piss her off.

You *never* want to piss Megan off.
