Well I kind of can't believe I missed this car again but truthfully I wasn't quite ready. This particular car is my dream ride and I hope to buy it someday. If the new owner hops on here please shoot me a PM for future reference! I did speak to Fran about it approximately a year back and it...

I see, I think I misunderstood your point regarding SL-C pricing. Although what you find to be a below market value price, I'd consider in-line or a bit high. But that's a minor point. After all they are worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for one. The market dictates price, not you and...

I swear, this will be my last Corvette related post! ;) Chevy will sell just a few thousand C7 ZR1s, that's the size of the market for a $150K Corvette, 2000-3000 annually at most. Chevy has a very successful system for selling and marketing the Corvette that goes back decades. They are able to...

Brian, GM didn't build a HUGE replacement Corvette factory to sell 2000-4000 $150K cars annually. That is how big the market truly is for $150K + sports cars. There is no FE C8 mule running around. The new C8 ME base model is going to have a starting price of about $59,900, which is an 8%...

The second part if your statement is not correct at all but this isn't the place to get in to that.

For sure I'd be looking for a very well finished out and complete high dollar build. I work 12+ hours per day. I'm darn mechanical and can repair most things but i'm no fabricator as many of you are. Nor do I have the time, and even money at these levels is an issue. To be blunt, i'm...

I personally wouldn't run a trailer, or any other external contraptions. The main point in a huge road trip is to hit all of the relatively abandoned curvy public roads I rode when I was in college on my GSXR750 over 20 years ago. That and to see some sights. Attachments don't work the first...

Thanks Howard! I sent you a text! Ps. HH had many connections done to the surface about 18 months ago. However it's always been a track that you have to be willing to abuse the car a bit. I am.

It's obviously a very capable sports car, is it so capable that it's not really fun to drive? Obviously you can't really explore the limits on most public roads, although you could certainly have a great time on some empty canyon roads. But what's the noise, the heat, the windows that don't...

Awesome thread! Lots of these cars end up on the track obviously!

Lots of great info. I want a very nice street car, that can track at a high level, not vice versa. I would be a street trail guy and would probably add any aero that I could access to the front of the car to try and maintain balance. I've never driven a ME hard so really don't know what to...

Thanks for the thorough response. I have questions/ comments. Please don't take any of this as disputing your knowledge, just looking for clarification. 1) The fender vents reduces trapped air under the fender wells I guess? That is meant more to increase down force than brake cooling I...

C5 - c5 corvette for sure.

You did an amazing job with that. Where did you source that battery enclosure? It looks nicely finished although a bit unnecessary. Every thread I look in around here I see people that have skills, that I simply don't possess.

Hey guys, interested in picking up an SL-C in the somewhat near future. For me the right one has a ton of potential to participate in local track events (and possibly set some street car lap records), but also would be interested in the TX Mile , also the Big Bend Road-race event interests me as...
