Anybody have a 100k and want to go fast???
We have been talking about this project for over a year. Our goal is to build a fast, cheap, light, pump gas racecar. The car will sport a C6 Z06 race body. 530 RWHP and only weigh 2600 pounds. Running the numbers, it will make a fast car. We are willing to build the first one for a reduced cost to get one out there. We are also including some testing time with Doug and crew at the track. This car will turn heads at the track, there is no question about that. Here are all the specifications, some upgrading will be ok, but we would like to keep the cost down for the future builds.

This is a picture of the last WC car that we built. There are some differences but it will look very close to this yellow car. But rember you pick the color!!!

How would putting a Hot Cam in an LS7 make more power? The factory LS7 cam has more exhaust duration, and SIGNIFICANTLY more lift on both sides??

I don't have 100k to spend but if Unicef comes along and builds such a car I would be first in line.
2600 lbs and tested by Doug and crew at the track... I really would like to have that at my next HPDE!

Y'all do know there's a blown C6 with factory warranty that fits the description "go fast" and sells for $100K. It's been in all the papers.
Seriously - with bone stock exterior this could be somebody's worst nightmare that squared off against it.

Hey guys thanks for the new sparked interest in these cool cars. We have two sold and more on the fishing line. The GM hot cam is not going to be used anymore. I favor of a custom Compcams setup which should allow for some more ponies.
The new ZR1 is going to a sweet car, but I would say this will be 4-7 seconds a lap faster at the track.

By design the rear engine cars should be faster. To my understanding those cars aren't too light or easy to drive. The Corvette as you know are very easy to drive close to the limit. I have had a few customers go rear enigne and then come back to the traditional sports car design(front engine).
