C4 based Dragon Kit Car

Hi, I thought you might be interested in a unique C4 based Kit car that I am building. It is made by Dragon Moror Car in NH. There is a lot of room for personal touches. I am about 70% done and plan to have it running this summer. It uses a Dart Al smallblock and t-56 trans. Stock C4 suspension components and a fabricated frame. Weight will be about 2200lbs. John Chesnut the builder has some info on a C5 based varient on the C5 forum. It says I can not post attachments, can someone tell me why? Thanks Fred

Understand it is not mainstream. I have had a number of Corvettes over the years, even did chassis development on some when I was with GM. The key for me with this car was that it was Chevy based as opposed to Ford-read Cobra-2200lbs-500hp C4 based can't be all bad!-Fred

Sounds like it's not really C4 based, just uses C4 suspension bits? It doesn't use the C4 frame does it?

Anyway, sounds interesting. You can post some pictures if you host them elsewhere like photobucket or flickr or something like that.
