Default Bought C7 race car
My team just took possession of Corvette Daytona Prototype # 004.
It is a Dallara chassis previously campaigned by Taylor Racing in IMSA w Konica livery.

Of course this mean we'll need more Bubbles

Congrats OP, just AWESOME!
If I was looking to buy one, it would have been that one.


My favorite DP last season.
Was pulling for The Taylors all season long.
I think it is so cool it's a Family Affair.


I have a question though...
For some reason, I never was able to find out the specs on the engine.
Could you fill us in?

OK, this is badass. Love seeing these cars on track. Stoked to know that forum members are serious racers/teams. Think you'll find Jordan's mullet under the seat?


Keep us updated on this!

I am surprised they are using an LS9, but whatever...

Thanks, I've been beating on 001 these last 2 years racimg at FARA & HSR.

At the moment I think I'll use 004 at FARA next year & 001 at HSR so I don't wear them out so fast.

Also I have a spare car now for car shows while the other is getting prepped for next race.
