OK, I just can't understand why I haven't received a single phone call to go over to Europe and drive one of those things accross the finish line?
I keep checking the voice mail and it's the same old insurance company trying to sell policies Have I missed their call?
I only ask for a small costal villa in central Italy with a modest $250k year salary and a couple street cars to get around town. They really don't know what their missing?

Great class of cars I will agree. Too bad that no one else can build Corvettes. Some how Callaway got the rights or some crap like that. I had a guy lined up to build 2-3 cars. He even sent a check to get started. Well after 3-4 weeks and we still couldn't get a rule book for the Vette, he started building some crazy tube frame GT40. They are also racing them down under, in japan, and south africa.

Depending on the tires used, and what weight they set them at, they could or could not be as quick as the W/C cars. The W/C cars' lap times are limited by the tires to a large extent and if you gave Mr. Curran et all, a choice of tires (Hoosiers for one) you would see an immediate drop in lap times. I have never understood why the Vipers can run a 8L V-10, but the Corvettes cannot run a 427 in W/C, which is one thing in the GT3's favor. It is all cool though!

Hi,
I wanted to inform all of you that there are a few new items on our site relating to the Z06R (construction process as well as a brochure)
Brochure
Constuction Process
In the coming days our site will have some wallpaper for all of you to download and enjoy like the one seen above. If you would like to see something on the site that is not currently there or have any questions please PM me here or email me at CallawayCompetition@gmail.com

Looking at the photos I would say those cars are more tricked out than one might think. Just take a look at the uprights. They make the ones popular in world challenge look like simple paperweights. Also, one photo shows custom upper control arm pickup points with the factory arms although the brochure says they are custom arms. Same with the pedal box. those ap pieces are nearly $2000 not including the m/c's. The price stated seems to be way high. A world challenge car costs less to build.

Price For the FIA GT3
Corvette Z06R GT3 235.000 € = 334,395.05 USD

• Standard color is yellow, other colors on request

Option

235,000.00 EUR = 334,395.05 USD
Euro United States Dollars 1 EUR = 1.42296 USD 1 USD = 0.702762 EUR
Ok, that is a great car, no doubt. Plenty of thought has gone into it. And it would have been nice to have that series over here in the US. But don't expect SCCA to do something right.
In each series we can only follow the rules and what they allow. And if you don't build to the max of the rules, you are behind from the start.
Which brings me to my point. $185,000 for my #28 World Challenge car with Holinger sequential 6 speed and Bosch ECU with NO Lift Shift seems like a bargin right now.
