This car was at the last SCCA Solo in Joliet Illinois. It's a sweet car. Sounds mean and looks really good. I didn't see it run though and I'm sure it left after the rain started that day.

I think they only got one dry run in, if I remember correctly. Lynda got to make a run with her Chevelle. Not sure if Chris was able to get more runs in with the Z06.

The new Forgelines dropped 10 lbs. of unsprung weight over the 3 piece Fikse wheels. Very pleased with the finish, and the quality is over the top.

Awesome car. wnat to get my car out to some track days and autocross events. Got hooked several years ago with a ride from Kyle Tucker. Never got to finish the car I was building at the time. And how just bought a C5 so it will have to do.
