Very cool Bret!

Watched pretty much the whole thing...
It was like crack for the car guy....lol
Looks great on the ground.

Here is Smitty after driving the Corvette the first time:

:lol: Well played.

foiled again

Looks to me like the Smitty I know ALL the time!! LOL


Really good to know that it's turning out well. Nicely done!

Does Smitty have a sister named Tina that eats ham?

Good stuff Bret! Nice reward after numerous days thrashing. I'm sure Smitty's loving life like you're loving the Z06. :thumbsup:

Ok thanks for more video harassment Bret.

Just a couple things to point out

We did not short cut the car anywhere. Me or Bret would not allow it. I have to drive this thing and drive it fast. It is fast. I ran the car flat out on the first lap that's how confident I was in it. I was so confident in it I ran it on the road course with no hesitation at speed.

This build was incredible.

Ridetech shops capabilities are endless!!! I would ask them for a part and poof there's parts.


The car is bad azz.

hahaha:rofl:

Have you EVER driven anyway else?? LOL



I fixed that other line for ya buddy...

Hell I enjoyed the build so much I was thinking of buying the cove grills from the 48 hour vette for my wall as my first garage art. But I missed the end of the auction.

We will be at the Texas Goodguys event this weekend MArch 20-22, and again the next weekend March 28-29 for the Optima Ultimate Street Car event. We can take passengers at Goodguys but not at Optima, so if you want to ride come to the Goodguys event. If you want to see the car run on the road course, come to the Optima event. Better yet...come to both!

Right now we are trashing to make some minor revisions [that ALL new cars seem to need]...more aggressive brake pads, seat position adjustment, replace a bad power window motor, heat sheilding, finish up the fire suppression system, a thorough wheel alignment, finish the center console.

Along with getting the Corvette ready to go, we are trying to finish up my own 69 Mustang to compete at Goodguys and Optima. Just because we didn't have enough to do

Did you put a Lingenfelter LS in it after the old engine grenaded at Road America?

No, Lingenfelter built us an aluminum 427W engine with a Dailey dry sump. It made 575hp and 550Tq. I'm looking forward to debuting it this weekend at Texas!

Look forward to seeing it and you this weekend, Bret...

How did it compare on the road course?

We didn't run timed road course laps at NCM because of construction going on with the track...only some spirited lead / follow sprints for video and such.
My semi educated butt dyno tells me that the yellow car will be no slouch. We'll know more after the Texas Optima event this weekend!
