Looks like you are going for super light weight. Maybe no paint or the bare minimum is the way to go. It'll be wicked no matter how the exterior looks.

Go black Mark!:thumbsup: Don't know if you've ever done a black car. I've seen grey with Mule, red with Red Witch and Red Devil, silver with Mayhem. I know you've done many cars. Since this car is Camaro XV. Kind of an ode to Camaro X with a Roman numeral name so to speak, but totally opposite in terms of power, weight, etc, then it should be opposite in looks too. So, I know "X" was white, make "XV" black. Then the carbon fiber would just pop with a black body. :hail:

Thanks for the input. But I'll NEVER have a black car. They look great when someone elso owns them and cleans them. If I had a black car it will be matt black. :) Talk to Joe and Paul. I'd ruin a black car rock chips and swirl marks all over it... LOL

Matte Fathom Green with the graphics being the exposed gloss carbon could be interesting. No matter the color or graphics I like the direction of this build........keep the pedal down. :thumbsup:

Funny thing is I feel the same way. Black is beautiful when it's clean, but I'm like you, I would ruin it. I would not keep it clean. I like black on someone elses car.

Not to mention, black car in dead of summer on asphalt would need a killer Air conditioner, and a cool suit. The car is looking great Mark! Those carbon parts sure fit good. Any guesses at finished weight? I'll guess 3,000 lbs. :cheers: looking forward to seeing it run at Motorstate! :thumbsup:

I think I am the only one that doesn't care what color you paint it......

11" wheel in the front?....305/30-19:thumbsup: Hobaugh ran very close to you with much less power, that has to be in the back of your mind. I understand the engineering behind "bigger tires are not always faster" but isn't grip king?

I'm curious what those Anvil parts actually weigh. I believe they are 125 lbs lighter than a totally stock setup, but did you run full steel hoods and inner fenders before ?

Anyway if you happen to weigh them let us know. I agree the fit is fantastic, just don't expect that out of aftermarket or composite parts, put the two together and to have that nice of a fit is amazing.

also, do you measure oil temp before or after it goes through the engine ?

New parts looks great! I've been thinking about going with grand sport style stripes or some other way to show them off as well.

I'd add a couple hundred more to that for my guess.
