Some guys over at the forum have already suggested that. That, and a few other engine options. Her Dad wants to limit her to 200hp, but might crack from the pressure and allow more.
One guy suggested several engine options she could label “Daily Driver”, “Vette Killer” and “Track Only”. LOL!
I have a 4.9L Caddy V8 in my ‘88. It’s a blast.
