What's with that wheel at the end??? It looks good, but that's not on the Vette.

I think the was the very beginning of the next segment of the show. I have a feeling this was on TV somewhere.
Yep. the show is Auto Motor und Sport tv on Deutsche Welle, that wheel belongs to a Porsche Carrera GT they were introducing between the segments!

I have a 4 minute video of the Corvette Moray that Italdesign did if anyone is interested, no sideways action but still a nice clip.

He is quoting 550 Metric horsepower, converts to 542 Horsepower. Seems like an awful lot for a small block. Are those Mockey Thompson valve covers still being made ?

Anyone have detailed specs on the motor ?

comp,

I think they have gawdawfully stiff springs in the back, they do have sleeves with rod ends to control the camber in the rear, that's what you can see in the vid. I tihnk they are also sporting coil overs, much like what norval has. I think their kit and the ACI stuff is pretty close.

The front flares are a tad too much if you ask me, IRL it doesn't look that good, more like a hammerhead shark I would have liked it better if the front wheels were a little narrower and the flares not so wide, it'd retain the coke bottle shape and makes the car sort of wedge shaped.
