This car was awesome to cruise around Powercruise in on the weekend! Not very often you see a ls1 in a old school American muscle car.

The Nova is definatly in need of a cage! I think you'll get sent packing after your first run. You should post up some piccies of the Nova also.

That's a sweet ride man, but seems like you've got some other toys keeping you occupied. Hope it goes to a good home.

Steve, I can honestly say i was more than shitting my pants, after a few runs the brakes went from non existant to NON EXISTANT. Watching 130mph on the dial in about 10 seconds then watching his foot plant the brake pedal to the floor and the speedo still climbing rapidly with a corner approaching us at well over 200kph is certainly an experience that i'm glad is over:giveup:

Matt,
I think one of these kits is in order for the fronts with the slotted rotors for an addition $149
http://www.p-s-t.com/pc-116-11-chevrolet-nova-1968-74.aspx
And one of these or the rears:
http://www.p-s-t.com/pc-165-13-chevrolet-pontiac-camaro-firebird-nova-10-or-12-bolt-rear-axle-1967-81.aspx
Slotted rotors extra $149
The whole kit should run $2434 fully optioned
If ya do the kit, save the old parts from the car. Offset the cost of the new part via Ebay.
Some for the aftermarket kits available have a 2" drop spindle available for the front. Using the original spring heights and dropping the front end 2"
