You can bet...on the 0/100 mph i guess there are very few street cars can stay even close (....and ferrari's drivers are too damn scare to die)

99% are only Armani posers

That is looking GREAT! I realy like the grill treatment; gives the car an aggressive look.

I was wondering how that would look as I was thinking of doing it to my car with a fiberglass bumper. My thought was to mold in some round buckets for road lights in the corners where you placed lights.

We need more photos outside and always enjoy thoes speed runs.

Nice job with your car! I think it''s great when you see someone from another country own and appreciate what I consider the ONLY (sorry mustang fans) American sports car

It's clear you apprciate it and that's awesome! I wonder if you see alot of Vettes over there?

1.260 kgs (2.770 lbs), with the stock (and heavy) battery, the old minilites and about 3 gallons of fuel...I guess i'd be around 2.750lbs right now.
Hopefully below the 2.700lbs mark within end of the year

Well done panic, best black hole I have ever seen ;-).

When you drive home to Italy along the coast, near Monaco and San Remo, be sure to shift down in the tunnels over there and let your mean V8 rumble for all of us!!

Godspeed!!

Yeaaa...the autostrada from Ventimiglia (on the french) border to San Remo....maybe a hundred tunnels and all of them through sharp fast bends

Unfortunately i cannot drive down home from northern Spain in my vette, i've got a 4.11 rear gear and the 2.800 kms trip would kill the car (..and me), but i could truck her down...

Near my home, in southern Italy, there is the best winding road of the whole world for the driving pleasure and its breathtaking views...the amalfitan road, along 20 kms of wonderful sea views, sharp bends and smooth tarmac...I could do that driveway with my eyes closed, I've been street racing there with bikes every week end of the last 10 years, before i ended up on the Galician coast

Hahaha,
My Vette is off to the painter today (actually within a few minutes) mid May it will be back, then I can start putting it together again, and finally drive!! I will let you know when I'm in Italy, my uncle lives there. East side near Fano. But Spain is also on my trip list. Crossing the Pyrenees left to right or visa versa, must be fun too.
