Re: Another Cartek Winner (STEALTH C-5)
The recipient of the big motor is a boring, Sebring Silver '98 coupe that we bought used with 19000 miles last December. Other than the powertrain, we have added DRM coilovers, Hotchkiss bars, and Baer Eradispeeds. At the moment, it still has the stock wheels and run flats, but that will change as soon as the piggy bank recovers from the trip to Cartek.
The concept was a 500 RWHP C5 for the price of a new, stock Z06. Close, but no cigar.
Anyone who'd like to drop in during Petit LeMans week, call me at 770-718-9885. We love company.

Okay, I saw your car last time I was at Cartek. I remember commenting on how low it was, I guess the coilovers explain that. Nice car, definately one hell of a sleeper!!! It'll look real sharp with some nice rims and fat tires in the rear. :yesnod:
I can't imagine 528rwhp on runflats! :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I thought that one had to live in Joisey to be a true, card-carrying member of the "inner circle".
BTW, now that I have all this power, I need to learn how to use the thing. All I've managed so far is a lot of tire smoke.

Congrats on the mod - those are some awesome numbers. Maybe some day, when I hit the lottery, I'll get to build my engine up. :D For now, stock will have to do.
