The new Corvette transaxles look to be pretty sturdy and the DCT will shift very quickly. Possible to get one to work outside of a vette though...that I don't know. Thoughts?

No. United States. https://www.topspeed.com/cars/ddr-motorsport/2014-ddr-motorsport-miami-gt-grand-prix-edition-ar159227.html

Last two pics

Car was sold today. Going to someone who will fit into it, and plans to track it. Good luck to all of the folks continuing their build here.

No he isn't Brian. Hate that. The good news is that he is close to Road America, already has a Cobra and a GTD, and plans to track the car with some guys he knows who run older race prepped Camaros. Really happy the car is going to be raced as was intended. I may look to build a DDR....or go to...

Sold

Car is on eBay and the auction will close in less than two days. I started the bid low to entice people to jump in. So far only one bidder is there. Folks, this car sold in parts is worth more than the current bid and I'd rather it go to someone here than an investor wanting to resell. If you...

It's an NRG quick discontent Bill. Works very well.

Sounds good John. Please send me a message and we can arrange things. Would really like to sell it to a local guy.

I'll post more photos later. Mostly of the engine bay as I want to polish the stainless exhaust a bit. Also of some of the parts you do not see (the other door, the other seat, the rear spoiler, etc.). Location is Frisco, TX USA. Anyway, there comes a time when you have to be honest with...

You have a good looking set Andy. Wasn't trying to suggest anything other than when I looked at them I noticed the collectors were more optimized for a stock Coyote and these are designed for higher output. Of course folks could swap out their own too as an option.

Had to rework my header setup due to a clearance issue. I had them welded up at my machinist's and he was wondering if it would be worth it to keep the dimensions of the whole setup so it could be reproduced for others given that the only option I can think of is the one from Tornado, and it's a...

I don't know about supernatural powers, but it was a pain getting my Ford 5.0 modular into the car. Custom mounts, lowering the engine, tipping it down ever so slightly, low profile pan, etc. Never recommend going through all of that to anyone, but it can be done as I and others can attest to.

Well, it's theoretical, but using some online calculators, a GT40 with good gearing could be quicker 0-60 for sure, and probably in the 1/4 as well assuming a 2800lb wet+driver weight and 525 hp (what I'm expecting). With that, the GT40 does the 1/4 in 10.2ish.

Maybe the tide will turn a bit? Damon, Bale to star in Ford vs. Ferrari movie

FWIW, Darren sent me replacement bushings at no cost (including shipping to the US) after I emailed him about a problem I had. I know others have had problems, and I've seen very, very, slow responses at times, but the guy did come through for me on this. As they say though, your mileage may...

I'm still active in my build but maybe not for long. Over five years now and seems like much more really. I for one would never do it again. It was a lot of fun to me initially. The first couple of years at least. As a kid, I grew up spending many a day at a local race shop where my dad did the...

I'll post an update when it's done, but long story short, I and a local welder hand built an X crossover style muffler short enough to work. It's a 2 inlet, 2 outlet style. What I do is have a mandrel bend 180 go back from the collector toward the engine, then another mandrel bend 180 go back...

A little. Have had several months setback due to flywheel/adapter. That's all sorted out now and the transaxle is in place along with the starter which operates fine. I had a local fiberglass artist (guy is really good) encase my headlight area and I built the covers so the headlights, fog...

I own a GT Forte chassis and body. I will not comment on the quality of the body publicly. The quality of the chassis though is as good as, if not better than, any other of its type (this isn't a mono). Not sure where you are hearing about this or that being "thin" but mine sure wasn't...
