I prefer the road race look but that's a very well done pro street C2 with a great stance.

C2 of Year Finalist (track prepared) 2019

I prefer: It weighs 2250, sticks hard in the turns, stops short, and will daylight the fronts on a hard 2nd gear shift. Toyo Drag Radials are like glue....

2022 C3 of the Year Finalist - Modified

Not impressed. The tires are way too big on the back. I know you guys are all in love with it, but some us aren't as impressed.

C2 of Year Finalist (appearance mods) 2019

That looks like a Hot Wheels car to me. Not a fan.

Me too! Your Grand Sport is absolutely stunning. That would be my "dream ride" if my pockets were deep enough.

The late Al Hofmann (funny car builder/driver) built this one about 12 years ago for the street, later owned by Ken Karsen (RIP) of our Vetteheads gang. Beautiful and purely ferocious!
