Looks like rear fenders have a flare, and front end isn't stock. I'd lay odds it ain't stock panels.

What would you like to know? It's an ex-World Challenge car. Owned and raced by Corvette Forum's own L98Terror (aka Ken Smith). I'll get his attention and direct him to the thread.

What do you want to know?

The pic above was taken at Mid Ohio at Nationals, it was ran in ST2 that year, lead the championship race for a few laps, finished third DQed to 4th. My 3rd race weekend ever.



Here is the car new, back in 2003. It ran one World Challenge Race at Sebring. It was a sister car to Adam Andretti, it was driven and owned by Rick Boysal.

It was slow as hell and a back marker


At Miller NASA Nationals in 2009






Car now has two National Championships & one 2nd.

It's run in ST2, STR2 & TTS. Hasn't been raced since 2009 and is being rebuilt as we speak.

The nose is a ACP piece so are the rear quarters (wide body), front fenders are stock. It was a body in white Z06..race car in a box so to speak. The hood is a composite as well (weights almost nothing)

The new nose will be a Black Dog.

Engine is a LPE world Challenge spec that has been detuned with stock ls6 cam and stock ls1 heads to meet the current ST2 rule set.

The car was banged up and fixed a few times before I got it, hence why nothing lines up so well. Everything should fit together better once it gets finished. Alot of the panals needed to be fixed.
