Detroit Dick, bought himself a 1999 FRC!!!!
Hello all from Detroit..... I just bought my first Corvette, its a 1999 FRC car.. I wasn't looking for a Corvette it kinda just happened. I currently also own a 1987 Buick Grand National called GNX² that i built for auto crossing. .
GNX² got me hooked on auto crossing and i wanted to go faster so i was gonna build a car from scratch pretty much. NOT NOW!!!!!
My C5 has a LS3 Stroker motor, forgeline wheels, wilwood brakes, JRI coilovers, racing seats, sparco quick disconnect steering wheel and much much more.. This car is ready to race!!! Cant wait for next spring...
The build was all documented in Super Chevy magazine.
