You inspire all of us Mark. For every person who posts something in your thread there are probably 20 other people just watching, learning and just trying to understand all of the complexities of your design and engineering. You give us something to strive towards, even if our builds are polar opposites. You make us all want to be better.

You're the man. :hail:

I wish could have gone to SEMA just to see this car and maybe get a picture with the man.
Definitely an inspiration

Mark, you are the man... thanks for the sharing and feedback... truly invaluable to so many.

You really allow that Weld guy to be in your camp? That's got to be worth about minus 5 Optima points in some category...

Good luck out there. :bigun2:

Simply Brilliant what else can you say the engineering, fit and finish is a credit to all involved. What is the actual zr1 clutch stack height? I am just doing an LS9/Magnum combo and am in the midst of doing the math. Pretty sure the ZR1 bell-housing height is 6.440

Funny... I've been searching for that style of lugnut and previously looked at those ones. I didn't know much more than what the ad said, questioned the quality and was just about to order the same style from Gorilla.

But if its good enough for Mark's car then it should be fine for my bucket of bolts.

Awesome pictures of an awesome car. Really amazing all the way around.

We found the same thing with the Rivals - mine arrived 2 days before the Portland Ultimate Street Car, after a 6 month back order, and we didn't have time to heat cycle them. They were slippery as snot in the AutoX and Speed Stop, and finally came into their own by the 3rd track session.

Did the 315s up front fit cleanly under the Anvil fenders? I've been eyeing those fenders but don't really want my car back in body and paint jail unless it's really worth it ...

Once again, good luck at SEMA and OUCSI. Wish I could be there to see it.

I have the 315 on a 10.5 and the fit great. Side wall is square. With 1.75 degrees of camber and the car fairly low the tires do not rub at all. I was hesitant to use an 11 because I thought I would have a hard rub. I might try an 11 later.

Over all I’m happy with the Anvil stuff. They do require a bit more body work than a steel OE fender.

I took my new Rival to a church parking lot and did LH and RH donuts until they stuck. Seemed to work. The kids next to the church liked it. The cop not so much.....:shakehead:

The car is shipped to SEMA so no more tuning.

Thanks for all the support.

Mark

Next time I get caught doing donuts in the church parking lot I'll just explain that I'm "tuning my car." :idea:

Can't wait to see how you do at OUSCI - congrats on building an incredible car!

Can you imagine if this was you it should would make for a good story at Sema ?

LOL.

"I'm heat cycling my tires to be ready for the Optima Challenge" is probably one of the more original excuses the cop has heard.
