Awesome looking car! It looks like a race car...well it is. Nice touch with the red tow hook and yellow calipers-Michelin lettering.

Looks very, very menacing. I do believe you'll need to raise the car if you're going to track it any faster than pace laps--it'll need some travel!

ENJOY the car! Tell Nero I said hi.

Moroso (PBIR) will surely be smoother to track than Sebring.... as stated, there will be compression and there are also rumblestrips at certain segments (such as turns 1-2 and 6-7-8) for the fastest correct lines.

planning on some fall racing, hopefully...

the suspension has lower billet spindles as well as the lowering bolts and compression is good. a little jumpy in track setting though

Welcome JB.....good looking ZO7!


Hey, you have 5 minutes to either add or alter a posting you've made. Please know that going forward. I've merged 3 sets of your postings together. It makes for a cleaner thread and easier to read.
