Trapin,
What makes you call it an old pro-street car? Nelson twin turbo all aluminum sbc with G-Force 5 speed trans, independent quick change rear end, 235 17 on front and 30 - 16.5 x 17 on the rear. Full interior of suede and leather with hidden complete cage. Seems more pro-touring then pro-street.

TwinSting, I think the car is awesome. I for one would love to see A LOT more of it. :thumbsup:

You know something...I should probably retract my previous comments. I just got done watching the final episode of it being finished and I gotta say, I think the car is killer.

TwinSting, I'll have to agree with you, it does look like it falls more in the area of Pro-Touring than Pro-Street. I guess the big fat tires on the back threw me off.

It still looks Pro-Street to me, just a little more refined. What did they do to fix the cage interference with the rear tubs? Looks like a waste of time and money to powdercoat the chassis and final assemble the car only to take it 100% apart again to get it right. It has to have no suspension travel the way those tubs are done.

Call it what you want, but I call it modern Pro-Street. That's what it's come to. The thing is, I like it. It seems like more of a show car, but I would love to be seen as a passenger in that thing. Nice car, but not Pro-Touring. I'd love to see the handling on that thing.

TwinSting,

Great car! I am suprised at all of the people weighing in on the car here and on pro-touring. You have to love having a car that really blurs the lines on street/race and pro tour/pro street. I think the wheel size on the rear is what is throwing people off from the pro-touring theme, however, with the kind of power you are making you really have no choice but to run a tire that large to even make and attempt to get that much power to the ground.

To me, that is the coolest vette out there. I thought that body style would be great for a pro-tourer after playing "Grand Turismo" 6 years ago. Glad to see people like you pushing the envelope.

Are you going to make the show circuit and then drive it or is it pretty much gong to stay a show piece? I can only imagine the investment it took.

Payton
