**C6 Take off parts available from GT2 ALMS Donor car
Hi Guys,
Just a heads up on some brand new take off parts. This will be essentially a complete Corvette C6 dismantled for the build up into the GT2 Race car.
The parts are listed on ebay from Riley Technologies, who is building the GT2 ALMS Lemans cars for us.
Thanks

The molds for the modified parts have to start from completely stock parts. Even with modified fenders and doors, the parts have to meet stock configuration with the added mods as an afterthought.
So at least one or two new stock cars were required to get the car passed the ACO inspection and approval.
thanks

Lou, just curious, but why aren't you building your own car??? You've proven to be a world class car builder. Is this a GM decision, or are they simply more suited to handling the Homologation process with ACO (as compared to SCCA Pro, where nobody knows much about anything)

the ACO is a big part and GM was more comfortable with Riley building a sort of "Spec" C6 GT2 that other independent teams could buy.
Thanks for the props though.

Is your livery going to be similar to the WCGT car with the black/yellow with flames?
What would be cool is if GM eventually offered a street/track version of the C6 to the public and called it the Corvette GT2.

So, someone will be able to buy a turn-key C6 GT2 like you can with the Porsche GT3 RSR? I wonder how much that would cost?

We will have the same or similar paint scheme on my #28 car.
Considering how highly modified these cars have to be from a street version, I doubt that there will be a street version.
At $471,000 each it makes my World Challenge Cars selling for $185,000 seem very reasonable.
thanks guys,

They miss many opportunities for some splash with there conservative thinking even when they have the product. They should release a Comp Coupe like car for a series racing which something like DRM is going to build. They caught on to the ricer crowd with the Cobalt about 10-15 years late. Those are the future Caddy, Vette and family car buyers as they age.

I am a GM buyer 100%, but I must admit, that Chevy sometimes leaves me wondering. The Corvette without a doubt is one of if not the best sports car made, but if you want performance, Corvette is about all there is, I supposed you can count the CTSV, but they do not appeal to the younger Camaro buyer group. When GM decided to drop the Camaro and Firebird, they simple told the younger performance buyer that if you want to go fast buy a Corvette. Well you know were the buyers went. They jumped to Mustang.

PT Cruiser then how many years later do they catch on?
Camaro was horrible in the passenger seat. Their sales dropped to 30's but Mustang still was selling 200,000
Yea the Zo6 is bad *** but it will not float a company like GM with 30,000 +- Corvette sales.
They have released some horrible looking cars a while back
They were the leader in design at one time till they became stuck in the mud. The new pickup looks a little drab on the exterior although it is a great running truck.Malibu great car it is said but it lack pizzas and it is a bread and butter car. They just released how much they would spend on Malibu advertising and it was mind boggling. Can they do it yes, will they? I pray they get back market share. Year after year more promises and shrinking market from each CEO. Wagoneer seems to be able to make the right choices most of the time.
Ford is the same stuck in the mud. The new Explorer may be great but I can't tell the difference between old and new.
Hydrogen vehicle may rocket them towards the front if it is successful and it will take Delphi with them as the are responsible for a major portion of development.
BMW not quantity numbers but strong gains every year hopefully Caddy halts that. New CTS is nice looking.
