So here is the sales pitch. We would like to get rolling on #2. The price will be $150,000.00 No car needed for the build as we buy all brand new GM parts.
Payment of $75,000.00 required to get started on the project, 50,000.00 after the chassis comes back from powder coat. Final balance is due before the car leaves for the track. DRM will be assisting during the first time out with the car.
Email, call, pm for more info

Did you guys develop any parts for this car which will be available for general sale?
I appologize if this is thread hijacking,
Anyone know if these (specifically the front) fit on a C5 chassis? The pre-'08 steering rack has such terrible feel to it, I'd really love to be able to mount the newer rack on my car (and the weight savings is nice too).
I don't suppose you have a way to correct the above problem? If so, count me interested in a rebuilt steering rack that actually provides some feedback. I've got a solid mount (I made my own before you guys started offering one), but I think the problem is the rack itself.

I have watched the build posts, and that is one fine machine !! With those engine specs, it should live for many a track day. Be still my 401 K balance, you need to stay put !! If I was able, I would be second in line - make mine gold with black frame -----

I know the rear crandle is completely different. I'm about 95 percent sure the front one would be a pain in the butt to make work. I'm not 100 percent sure.
The racks are normally pretty good, we do a couple things to make they live longer and not have as many issues. We also have the ablity to change up the effort in the steering wheel.

It's been a long time since we had our coilovers on a skid pad. The last offical one was 1.1Gs with a 295-275 G-force street tire.

Here are a few of our past cars that we have built. Some pretty cool stuff! Some of them made it out with no pictures taken It sounds funny but when you live at the shop, it's kinda a normal thing. Other pictures are not in digital format.
Corvette Challenge
Lemans mid 90s
World challenge
More world challenge
One more C4
OK enough of the old stuff.
