"I haven't even tried to start the 'vette since June when I wrecked it at the track.  It's still far from drivable but I'd like to at least fire it up to make sure it still runs OK.  I hit the wall sideways fairly hard, but there were some nice thick pads that cushioned most of the blow.  The motor mounts broke and the motor shifted far enough to the driver's side to completely crush the headers against the steering box but there doesn't appear to be any frame damage.  I rotated the crank by hand through a few revolutions and nothing felt out of the ordinary.  I'd put the old exhaust manifold on the driver's side just for the time being.\n\nOil level and color looks just fine.  I think a seam on the radiator broke, so I'll have to fill her back up with coolant and do a pressure test to find leaks, but is there any other reason I shouldn't just hook up the battery and turn the key? :huh:"
