Love the car..... How does it compare to the Camaro in each event?

The Camaro has much more power (611 to 475) and it weighs about the same (3230) as the Corvette. The Camaro is better on the road course with the power and longer wheel base (108 to 98). The Corvette has about the perfect amount of power for autocross and the shorter wheel base helps. I am going to run the Corvette at the next few Goodguys events. Due to the small courses at Goodguys, the Corvette should be much better than the Camaro.

They are Aristo Wheels. The company is new, but experienced man in charge. They will be debut their collection soon. They are one off wheels at this time. We custom designed them for this car.

And it shows.

I'll be hanging out with my dad this weekend at the So Cal Challenge; here's to many more years of fun together!

And there is the reason I push through all the "old man aches" and work on the cars with my boys. That time in the garage with them is precious to me.

Great story and an awesome car!

And that's about the funniest reply I've see on here... I don't care where you're from, that's funny!!!

It goes without saying that the cars you bring to the table are awesome.

But that story is great. Happy for you and your dad.

Congrats Brian! Very impressive car and driver!

The Optima fans would love this combo!

Walking around RTTC on Saturday I was just in awe watching this car...even idleing around in between events. From every angle it just looks harcdore, yet refined. Goes without saying, scary fast out on the course...

I forgot about the SoCal Challenge, good luck with that. I wished I could be there to see the Vette run! I know the Miata record is going down, and people are gonna be standing around looking like this
