I read that story with great interest thinking the Vette and Prodigy would be a great match up. Basically brothers from different mothers. Both cars have full independent Corvette suspension front and rear, Fuel injected 540" / 555" aluminum rats, 5 speeds, custom chassis, one wraped in Corvette glass, the other in Camaro skin. Hum!

One thing I noticed on the vette is the stagger on the tires is way off with 245s up front and 345s out back, 4" of stagger may be partly responsible for that push Mark was talking about.

One thing I was really surprised though was that the Vette is painted in candy, which is all but impossible to spot in or blend. Not a great chioce to stone chips.

We had the pleasure of shooting that Corvette several months ago, and we're re-running the piece on V8TV for the next two weeks. Our short web-text version is linked off our homepage, www.v8tvshow.com for anyone who wants to see more of the car. It really is impressive.

There is no doubt that the car is impressive and would love to have it or build one like it.

I still think the pro-tour pose off should be a "RSE" type challenge as these are mostly street cars that are capable of getting around the track.

Prodigy, Penny and more than a few others I believe could hold there own with just about anything....a baseline of a production car should be established as a bench mark.

I am not a painter an can only imagine how tough it would be to spot a candy or a pearl. I would have to wear the rock chips as a badge of honor.

that suprised me as well!
