yea, I agree. The way things are looking in terms of stock value and credit spreads I doubt that any extra development $ is hanging around for R & D on the C7......that project may have to wait till things improve. I would think that any availble $ will be spent on bringing new DD's to the market.

Hey Chris, that's a cool link to a very impressive chassis....but is that car "legal" for US importation? If it is that is very impressive.:thumbsup:

:cheers:

didn't mean to hijack the thread. sorry for that. lol.

Sounds good, any cruise-ins going on up there?:cheers:

I grew up at Lewisburg so familiar with Greenville some.

From what I've heard there's 4-6 Z's in Greenville! Or maybe at one time.:(. Met another Greenville Z owner year ago at Brookville cruise-in.
