Default C5 race car 4-sale (very well done)

I'm distracted by other options in racing, and the Vette just isn't getting used.



I have owned this car for about 7-years, and bought it as a bone-stock street car. I have been a part of the process from day 1, as it has become a 'BEAST' of a Race Car, enjoyed due to it's reliability and great care. I have taken the car to many tracks, including Autobahn Country Club, Road America, VIR, and Putnam Park. I have used 2-very professional, and well respected shops to build and support the car. Only the best support has been used, and no expense spared as shown in the build details.



The car is FAST, and has all the 'go fast' components to keep it under control. The interior is caged, using a fire-suppression system in-car and engine bay. There is a passenger seat, but you may choose to remove it for weight savings (car weighs in at 3,016 lbs.). The front clip (nose), splitter and under-tray is all carbon fiber, along with the rear wing. I bought Fikse wheels (in Anthracite), currently with Pirelli slicks (World Challenge Tires), Brembo Brakes (Calipers and Rotors) and Hawk Pads using stainless steel brake lines. There are both Trans and Diff coolers, both from Rockland Gear. The Gearbox is a DOG BOX, requiring a clutch 'only' for 1st Gear. All close ratio for putting down the best power. The final drive is also Rockland Gear, their best/hardest compound in a 3.9:1.



The Engine is NEW, with less than a couple of hours on it. Those hours have been very good, mostly at Road America for a HPDE earlier this year.

The Dry Sump is NEW.

After you use the clutch for first head, do you just shift like normal without the clutch? Upshift and down?

Free bump for a sweet looking ride!

May I ask a question on your GT2 wing? Is that a custom length such as 66" or 68" or is it the 72" wing? Could you measure the end to end length? (end plate to end plate)
