Re: New vette website and poll ?
 
A couple of months after I bought my 94 Zee in 2002, I met Gordon Killibrew in Eureka Springs, AR at the fall Corvette Gathering. Gordon introduced me to the nickel test. The engine was stock at the time with 68,000+ on the odometer and passed the test at idle. I've seen some guys "cheat" a bit and do the test with the engine revved to 1500~2000. I laugh a bit at the comments about losing the nickel. Just set it in the center of the plenum, it's not going any where, assuming the car is level. If all is as it should be, the nickel will balance on edge, parallel or perpendicular to the engine centerline.

I'm surprised so many weren't aware of the test. It's just part of the LT5 legend.

Now, no nickel test for me. I'm like Frank......thinking my cams would win out over the nickel now.

So is there more or less leg room when the interior is switched to drive on the other side?

Less, unless they move the tunnel too.

Did it to mine. Amazed my dad and my kids.

How long is it supposed to stay there? Mine was there for at least 30 seconds before I grabbed it.
