Wide body C3 on track
I enjoyed the day yesterday riding my motorcycle around western Rhode Island/ eastern CT. As I usually do I took a ride past Thompson Speedway in CT. Thompson runs track days several times a week for various sports car clubs, Porsche clubs, etc., so it's not uncommon to see cars on the road course portion of the track visible from East Thompson Road. I saw a few cars on track, looked like a Mazda with a wing and some sort of Porsche, a few others I couldn't identify from a distance. I pulled the bike over and watched for a few laps and then saw a white/red C3 blasting down the long straightaway, once it rounded a corner I could see it had the ZL1/ L88 style fender flares-my weakness, I was hooked! I watched it run 4 or 5 laps until it pulled into the pits, it was wicked! All the other cars were kind of buzzing by me but this thing thundered past, as he continued around the track out of sight I could hear it bellowing through the woods, it was very cool, made a great day even better.

I too LOVE C3s with big flares, corvette summer type headlights, crazy scoops and what not. Gotta be a 4 spd and have tons of overlap
Even bass boat paint. Stock is nice but it gets old after awhile.
If I had the coin id do up a C3 like that in a hot second. Just looks right, same as a C1-2 done up in 60s drag or gasser theme. Or a C4 on jackstands in front of a 1969 single wide

I knew I'd get flamed for no pics! Seriously, I was hundreds of feet away, not even on track property! I took a few cell phone pics but the car is just a dot, can't see any detail at all. Sorry, guys!
