1 year and 6 months.. I am at 700+ to the wheels and not stopping any time soon. the wide fenders will be on this weekend. Next I am doing stronger drivetrain and an lsx block to crack the 1000whp mark for half mile and full mile events.

Bought my car Feb 4th of 2014 I did small things like bolt ons, full exhaust, shifter, forgestar wheels etc. Then Jan of 2015 I did the cam, ported heads etc. Been enjoying the car ever since. Now its feeling slow and will do a blower or nitrous soon, maybe wide fenders and wrap the car. Or possibly sell it, still wanting a 99 Viper ACR or a C6Z or a CTSV Wagon.

It's a blank canvas in terms of having what it takes to keep up with newer technologies. Check out Danny Popp and his c5's when it comes to battling. Cars like this cannot be made like this again due to crash safety etc., so visibility, suspension geometry , and moddibility was/is at a high point.

Since I've been tracking my car since 2010, at the end of each season I've put together a list of mods specifically geared for tracking the car. This past off season I chose to lighten the car in the middle and relocate that 30 lbs all the way to the rear and at the bottom of the car. I suspect I'll keep modding it for my purposes each year. Anything that will lower lap times is fair game.
