Just got home from the Shift-sector runway shoot, best 1/2 mile run, 173 MPH.

Vids to come...

Glad you didn't change the stripes on the side. I've always thought that it accentuated the curves of the C5 body. I've considered doing the same if I ever paint my Z. I still think you have one of the nicest C5's out there... and the Torco girls certainly are easy on the eyes

On the wider rears, did it change how the car handles at all? I would think if nothing else, it would have made the car understeer a little more??

Yes, everyone was just a bit slower at the 1/2 mile this time, since I guess they shortened it just a hair to make sure it was right at one half mile.

Yo Frank Rizo! Thanks, I know that some of the younger guys might think the paint is dated, but it still works for me...

I've done some light canyon runs, but no road racing yet, so not sure on the under steer...
