Sweet!
About 8 minutes in is the SLC leaving Cars and Coffee 4/11. Couldn't burn out, there was a copy with a walkie talkie standing on the corner calling in tag #'s with cruisers 100 yards up the street.

This one is from just last week at the May Cars and Coffee. at around 2:54.
I know, wimpy. there were 2 cops sitting in parking lots just up the access road. They must be writing $5k worth of tickets every C&C. Damn shame.

Wow. Car sounds AWESOME! Glad to see you enjoying it. When I get to build mine I plan to drive it as much as possible. I put lots of miles on my Camaro and am smiling the whole time. I hope to do the same with a SLC.
I bet none of the on-lookers, drooling at their steering wheels, would guess a camaro and SL-C use a nearly identical motor :nice:
Another nice video of your car I believe: YouTube - RCR Superlite Coupe - Launch, Engine Sound, Acceleration -by Race Car Replicas (Fly Yellow)‏

Yep sure did.
It drives people nuts to not know what the car is. I was signing up at the TMS Creson track 100 miles away. I had to send pictures. The guy thats running the track day said he'd had an identical photo forwarded to him from a friend Denton asking him to "Please ID this car!"
At Cars and Coffee, the Momentum Race group has adopted me. I thinkit's cuz of the LS3 similar to their SCCA car. They say I'm a good draw, so i don't have to get up at 0 dark:30 to get a spot, they just lift up the cones. Another nice feature of the SLC, you can sleep in!

Between Track Days and car shows the SLC has been booked every weekend, but I've still been workin on it. 2,100 miles and counting
I noticed on track days the transaxle was getting hot. The oil was boiling out of the vents. On the Ford GT columns this is pretty common with tracked car. I'm in the process of routing the AN-8 line to a B&M cooler hangin off the diffuser.
On the old tail i cut the exhaust short so i can open the rear clip. Problem is the exhaust gas was melting the F/G. The 1/8" Al flat stock seems to have stopped that and still allows the clip to pivot.
