Hello all, somehow I stumbled across the RCR-SLC many weeks ago and have since been obsessed. Many of the threads and posts I’ve read are quite old and it’s seems as though these cars have been improved quite a bit since even 5yrs ago. I’ve tried to read through the wiki and Cams blog. I have extensive house remodeling experience, and from what I gather this is similar; you can throw a ton of money at it and get top tier or get the basics. I plan to keep this build relatively cheap as possible initially and upgrade in the future.
Just a little background, I’m based out of Fort Lauderdale. I do anesthesia for outpatient and plastic surgery. I don’t have extensive background with owning super cars nor do I have a big shop. My most recent comparable car was a 16’ C7 Z51. I loved the car and miss it but I needed a new truck for my remodeling work.
Right now I’m at the stage of even seeing if this build is a possibility. I would have to build it out of a one car garage. About 11 x 18ft. Looking at a liftout LS2/3 from a corvette. Mating with a G56? Seems that these transaxles can be sourced for $2500ish and the engine I can get for around 3-4K and rebuild as needed.
This would be a street car.
A few questions tho...

A few questions tho...
- Is the kit still taking extremely long to ship? Some posts show many months of waiting. I’m talking base kit, biggest options would be the interior tub and engine bay cutouts.
- What has to be done to the G56 or other Porsche transmission than flip and rotate? Do internals have to be modified? Can this be done DIY?
- From what I’m reading the car comes with literally everything needed to run and drive, this includes hooking up the supplied harness with the LS? Everything else I’m seeing is customizations people are doing?
- My essential goal is to be able to complete the car and then customize it from there.
