Default My new racer has arrived !!!
Less than 2 weeks ago I talked to "vetracer" about buying his C4 track car. It only took a few days to make the deal and hire Relialble Carriers to haul it.

Reliable provided superb and speedy service - 5 days to move from Arizona to Nebraska !

It arrived this past Wednesday, here's a few shots as it sits in my friends shop.

First track day will be this coming Friday -

car looks great! I'm relatively close to you, hopefully I'll see it at MAM this year!

off topic, but that is pretty impressive service considering the other stops that they probably had to make, especially within a two week time period start to finish!

GREAT - I'm planning on making 1-2 Fast Fridays every month, several weekend club events and the NASA weekends at both MAM and Hastings.

Actually, from the date I called them to the date Reliable delivered was a total of 9 days !!!

Car looks absolutely awesome. Can't wait to see it on one of the fast fridays or a event at Mam or hastings. The garage around it also looks pretty impressive.

That's C&S Motorsports in Omaha - BIG Corvette guys, sell Vettes, muscle cars, Mustangs, Camaros etc.

They have a chassis dyno & a VERY knowledgeable dyno guy, and a big modern shop specializing in hi-perf mods.

It's a complete aftermarket one piece hood - much lighter than stock, don't know who it came from.

I'll try to remember to ask "vetracer" if he knows what brand it is.

A couple of things
1st congrats on the new race car, looks like its ready to rock.
2nd that exhaust on the car is wicked, I think mallet used to make something simlar looks like motorcycle exhaust, and your buddies garage looks amazing

Excellant!

I'm sure you know the car was featured in Vette magazine a while back.
