So here is the sales pitch. We would like to get rolling on #2. The price will be $150,000.00 No car needed for the build as we buy all brand new GM parts.
Here is the terms and conditions. Payment of $75,000.00 required to get started on the project, 50,000.00 after the chassis comes back from powder coat. Final balance is due before the car leaves for the track. DRM will be assisting during the first time out with the car.
Email, call, pm for more info

Here are a few of our past cars that we have built. Some pretty cool stuff! Some of them made it out with no pictures taken It sounds funny but when you live at the shop, it's kinda a normal thing. Other pictures are not in digital format.

Corvette Challenge


Lemans mid 90s


World challenge



More world challenge


One more C4




OK enough of the old stuff.













That should show you what our company can do for you!!!

Ragtop 99

Yawn...Just another bolt-on car.






Very cool. Nice chassis work.

Nd4spd2

Very cool - interesting that with all that you have done you are still running the stock Z06 air filter assembly.

deanm11

Very cool. Race weight?
Estimated lap times in hands of experienced driver at Lime Rock or Mid Ohio or ?

0Randy@DRM

2700 pounds and it should be able to run WC times at the race track, if not faster due to the weight, tires and the added cubic inch.

Kinda stock but once again we can't leave anything alone. The fit and stock like finish made it a nice piece on the car. Plus the stock filters do a great job of keeping the crap out of the engine.

Here is a picture of the big hole that we made to pack the air in there.

I saw this car and met the gentleman that owns it when running at Eagle Canyon Raceway a few weeks ago.

Randy - You built a beautiful car. It shows that you take pride in your work. Wish I had the bucks to buy one instead of cutting mine up for ST1.

Awesome work Randy!!!

Thanks guys I spoke to Troy last week. He has been having some fun with it this summer! He loves the brakes, can't say enough about the tire wear and horsepower!!! 5 or 6 days on the tires, is pretty good!

I still have a couple more people on the hook. But we can't get them in the boat

Thanks again guys,

Randy

Pffffft.....damn thing doesn't even have NAV.......

Cool build out. I wish we heard more from you guys here on the forum. You need to run some specials or group buys or something.

0Randy@DRM

Sorry about the lack of forum time. I'm a busy guy. Specials and group buys aren't that popular at our shop. Most of the time we are just trying to keep up with demand and sell at a fair price as is. I hang out in the Auto-x and Roadracing mostly, but will make a point to be in the C6 tech more!

I was looking at some of the other race cars on this forum and I had to revive the thread on my favorite build to date.

0Randy@DRM

The owner of the car (Troy) just racked up a new track record in CO over the 4th of July weekend

Nd4spd2

Awesome!! Great job guys.
