Time to start moving the drivetrain and passengers backwards in the car.

Whenever I contemplate pro-tour competitive builds, I am alwasy stumped by what you can do to be better than a late model vette- They have us beat on weight distribution, IRS, unsprung weight, aero, and development. If I was building a max effort pro-tour car I think I would just give up and drop a vintage body on a C6 running chassis. Because the down side to the vette of course is you see 5 of them a day even in Seattle.

The other avenue you can pursue of course is the super lightweight approach ie street rod based design or similar. That won't work with the muscle car envelope though.

Well Stielow's builds are always interesting although with his car building experience I'd like to see him push the envelope a bit more. As he's said though the key to much of his success is being fairly conservative overall and simply applying ingenuity to the details.
