Some progress pics of our TEXAS MILE entry!!

IconAutoSports · 07-23-2009, 01:50 PM

Just thought we'd post up some pics about one of the projects we are currently working on here at the shop. This particular one is a 2007 C6 ZO6 that we are building for the Texas Mile...and some 1/4 mile drag racing:devil:

Well, this part is done! The 10 point chromoly roll cage is in. The fit/finish is top notch. The Halo Bar/windshield, and a-pillar bars are tucked up VERY tight and out of the way just like we wanted. We are very pleased with the way it turned out. Here are some pictures. The attachment points are state-of-the-art quality using chromoly sleeves for the bolts, gussets, plates on every side, boxed/bolted etc. not just drilling and tapping into aluminum for support for a roll bar like we had seen another done. The 'chute and release cable are easily removable for some street action.

Weve got a combo thats almost done that should put us as the fastest corvette overall in the Texas Mile:secret2:

Cleanly done..

Looks good, did you get the cage certified?

Very

, but is there any info on the engine and suspension setup?

You should have a contest for who gets to drive it.

What poor planning this year... the LSX shootout and the Texas mile are the same weekend

I want to do both, but cannot decide.

Looks like a fun project. I am leaning towards doing the TX Mile this October.

Surely would be nice to see some 220mph cars dare I say 230mph cars??

Does anyone know what the fastest NA Z06 has run at the mile? No NOS - no power adders.
