Is this guy a "Car Builder" or a car copier? I'd be alittle worried about that.

PM Keith Valone (splitwindo) his 7 sec. C4 is back halved. He did the work and can answer any questions you have.

Whoever buys Kieth's ride is getting a beautiful car. I've been lucky enough to watch him run it on a number of occasions and look at it up close and it's an incredible machine.

You'll have to excuse all the dirt, this was after a couple of seasons racing, but you get the idea. I've got alot more when its clean on another PC but it's not here.

Have fun,
Dave

Wanted to wait till we finished a couple of new mods that really paid off. Had a couple of tire kickers that were trying to wear me down.

Here are a couple of links to budget Solid Axle Installs
Its not a back half but mantains stock interior apperience and 60' in the 1.3s
Both Jim and I put ours in 2 years back, both took a different direction.
I am really happy with the way the car reacts. It doesnt unload like my IRS did, and I still put my ZR1 five spokes on when street driving.
The only downfall is the spool on the street is expensive on my bfg drag radials.

thanks john
i already have a solid axle setup from jesse azzato [supersetup IMO ] for my 87 vette
but this vette [86 btw] has a some damage on the left rear chassis above the left rear wheel so i have to B. H. it
,or strip it and put it in the shredder
[i choose for the first option ]
and my daughter wants to race too so its a good idea [i hope ]

It's a 565 cu in , and runs 7.90 at 170 mph. Still on a mild tune as it has been a little difficult leaving with a big tune up.Still weighs 3200 lb's and has mufflers.

Man I wish I lived in Florida I would love to go for a ride in that car. It would be way COOL to show up in that thing to cruise night. It would definitly draw a crowd. It's COOL don't sell it 170 mph Pipe
