Frank, I should have a lot of pictures on my computer somewhere from us looking for ideas for my dad's car. I'll look for them later tonight and try and get them up. Next time I call you I want to hear about this one deffinatlyy
funny thing is I took that photo just to play with settings on my camera, figured out why pros only take photos of shinny cars with no hills or building in the back ground.
Not the prettiest 57 but I think I thrashed on mine a little more than most TriFive owners.
These are with my 18's and 19's so your customer can get some proportion ideas.
almost forgot this one, so I went in a little too hot, I had set the car up to understeer for the autocross, with a 115" wheel base and street tires (pilots) you can't get crap for lateral grip in a real tight autocross course and have enough room to calm down the slide so I had some big meat up front (275/40/R18) and I would run up to the corners, shut it down, rotate and punch it. But then the unexpected happened, they put this huge smooth loop in the middle of the course. The course designed has a thing against corvettes and the bigger cars and all of his courses were always really tight all the time. So I went in hot hopping to drift it, you can see how well that worked.
While it wasn't exactly done in a Pro-Touring style, my father built this 2-door post car about 10 years ago. It's got about 15k miles on it since then. It's definitely more of a sleeper, but it has a full aftermarket frame under it with all of the amenities (AC, Cruise, CD changer, etc).

Thanx for the . It actually rides quite well, but I can't comment a lot on the handling as I've never done anything to push it other than a little fun on off-ramps or back roads.
The acceleration is great! Shifting the 6-speed is a little awkward as the shifter location is a bit low, but those LT5 engines are smooth and powerful. This one has a chambered exhaust on it too, so it's loses some of that 'sleeper' effect when it's going down the road.

Thanks for the info.
That's obviously a complicated and rarely done swap.
