I think that's the TPI engine, not the Crossfire, which is a good thing. A buddy of mine is a big Chevy guy and when I asked him about the Crossfire (for my neighbor) his reply was, "Those things are junk!" I'd be curious how many miles it's got and why exactly he's getting rid of it. Also, why new front tires only? And why the fronts? Seems if they weren't rotated properly the rears would be the ones to wear first.

I had to skip over that one. I'll come back to it. I'm thinking either trying to force the rectangle under the ball or somehow get it on the other side of the ball and get it to drop down into the goal.

Yes it's got the tuned port injection (TPI) and has 175k "highway" on the motor lol Why does EVERYBODY say highway miles? Anyways......he likes my Mustang, possibly wants to trade. Stang' is a 96 with the V6, 10 years difference in vehicles.....not sure how I'd play this Barter, but I've always wanted a Corvette! (A 67' with the 427 turbo jet) But most good ones left are over $100k!

Travis, nothin' wrong with a Chevy..

Maybe this is a bad time to mention that I spent part of my evening towing my brother's Chevy home - blown transmission.

Hmm. For some reason my fraud alert is going off on this one. I'm too lazy to go look. Did he tell you why he was trying to get rid of it?

OK, fairly understandable explanation...that still doesn't explain why he'd be willing to trade.

A wife would want it GONE, not replaced with another one.

driving hard you can shave the front tires off a vette pretty quick too.... its not like they make that size in " 60k mile longevity and all terrain" compounds. They are more like " yeah its soft but it sticks good and better yet we can sell them to the guy every 20k miles". The auto's get about 20'ish mpg, the 6 speeds get about 27+.... hold out for a 6 speed.
