You press it down for cupholders to appear. GM interior logic.

Me too. But Ze Audi logic. One is open in the picture. You've got to push on the indented edge, and then push on the other side and pull up for it to open.

It's nearly as bad as the cup holder in old Ford trucks. This is the only pic I could find, but in case you can't see it there are no sides on them, they just pop out. So if you have drinks in them and go around a corner, that drink is going on your lap.

230hp out of a 350? How is that even possible? *sort* of respectable torque, but still... damn.

Same with mine, Cups just flip out on corners.

thanks to low compression and TPI, the L98 runs out of breath at 4000 RPMs. However, power is adequate and usable, and with $3k in mods (cam, intake, headers, exhaust, shorter gears) the car will put down well over 300 hp at the wheels.

Ain't nobody got time fo dat! If you push the right side of the panel with the plaque, the panel hinges to reveal two cupholders underneath.

corvette engineers: "ha, this'll give someone a kick 30 years from now when cars are powerful again!"

Once the car's road legal, I will unleash its fury on the road and record it for Oppo! It might not be a top end screamer, but it will lay down some rubber for sure. I will also demonstrate the innovations including: plaque hinge, 4+3, digital dash, plaque hinge again, digital dash, glass hatch with hydraulic pop up, hydraulic headlights, plaque hinge, and digital dash.

yeah. EPA constraints did a number on the last 350 SBCs. With a little bit of modification, costing as much as a rusty miata, these cars will be very competent performers.

Haha yeah, I really should. I will when I have time.

One of my friends built numerous TPI 2nd and 3rd gen camaros, he also TPI swapped his 88 K1500 just because he had the parts to do it

I will say though, after driving the TPI K1500 and later his 350 Vortec 99 C1500, the vortec is a damn good motor for its day. That thing has some punch.

What's better, a gif, or an '80s-tastic promo video?
