I know you can't wait to get her out on the track, but will you be taking it to any of the corvette shows in Illinois. I live downstate and I would love to see this in person.

Actually there are a few places I could've gone lighter and with CF, but Safety has been a priority in this one!

I have some small clips but I am having trouble DLing them from camcorder.

I'll keep trying.

Nice job Mike,

Maybe you'll have it at the National Corvette Museum sometime this year? I'm sure that's one car worthy of being showcased there!

I am hoping to be under 2700lbs.

I will have different sets of rim/tires (dry/rain). Do you think I should get a set of chromies for when it's just sitting in the paddock?


Mike
I think Chromies would make the car look awesome............when your posing for pics.............
