It will be even better in a couple of months..

And why did Hot Rod feel the need to ruin the color of Charley's car? They tried to turn it from Daytona Yellow to some kind of bright Canary yellow.. it didn't work.

However, the tech was excelent!

Very cool. That car and the builder(s), deserve all the credit they receive.
That is a KILLER car.

Got a copy tonight looks great

I am surprised there was no finsihed interior shot though.

Has anybody else plugged in the GM part numbers as listed in the article? They list part numbers for the ZR1 calipers and rotors. I plugged in the part numbers at a few online GM parts houses......
Brembo six piston caliper 25923833 & 25923832 for only $412.00 each

ZR1 Carbon ceramic rotors 25843121 for $1600.00 each ?
I thought I read somewhere the front brakes and calipers were like 10k?
Granted $1600.00 for a rotor is good chunk of change but if these mount the same as C6 do I can see them making their way on many builds.

Got my issue and that is a mighty fine Jackass

. Too bad HotRod decided they liked canary yellow better and photochopped it

.

Does anyone know what spare donuts are being used to roll it around the shop? Maybe spares from a C6??? I'm gonna pick up a set for myself I think. Much better than worrying about damage to actual wheels.

Corvettes don't have spare tires.. just "fix flat" kits...

Hmm. I wondered about that since even my G8 doesn't have a spare. It looked from the pics like they were built to clear large brakes and rotors so that is why I thought maybe the C6. So now I'm curious what they might be from...
