Driving the Corvette over the past month has been a blast. I have been fortunate to have some success these past few events. It was great to be home and spend some time with our local autocrossers. Here is a video from American Autocross Series at Marina, CA.
Man it crazy how fast and how much that thing sticks,
Hey Brian love that rig, we met at the Auto-x in Scottsdale a few months back.
Hey mate, first off, thank you for posting the car. I saw a shot of this car a while ago on Speedhunters and fell in love, it has to be one of the sexiest Corvette's on this earth and it gets used!!!!
much love for the car from Aus
Cheers
Corrie

I know you can't give away all your secrets but could you give me a few hints on what modifications I should do for the rear? Poly or rubber bushings? What kind of leaf spring?
I know how busy you are but any hints would be appreciated!
So whats the story with this? Is your car the actual hero car or is this just a bad copy of yours? I assumed they were copying at first (imitation is the highest form of flattery right??), but then remembered that your Camaro was in either 6 or 7, so I thought there might be a connection there.
Either way pretty cool to see those two worlds touch, and however it happened congrats on inspiring Hollywood!!
Well, the Camaro was in movie 5 or 6 at the end so I'm sure, or would hope, they decided to use his vette this go around. Just a guess.
The FF series likes to use actual cars that people have built. Meanwhile, Transformers likes to just rip off people's actual cars without even asking or giving any notice or props to those people.

My Corvette was used to create 4 replica Corvettes for Fast 8. The original car was not harmed in this process That can not be said for the real Corvettes that were made to look like mine.
The car is going to be Letty's (Michelle Rodriguez) car in New York. There are going to be some exciting scene involving the replica Corvettes. I am excited to see how it all comes out.

So both of your cars ended up in fast and the furious movies. Congrats, that's unbelievable. That'll be really cool to see.
