Widebodies go in the other thread.

It looks really good, but I don't like exposed CF and the wheels are a tad dark. Your shop does some awesome work.

Do you have more pics of the car? I would like to see it from a side angle, with better lighting.

While I am typically a huge fan of high contrast in my photography...these photos arent doing you're work any justice.

I can't really see the work done on the car. The pictures should be a little more evenly lit and exposed in order to really make what you do shine.

The real question is have you driven in it and how does it compare to your TA?

It is the housing from where the HUD is projected.

The thing on the dash is for the heads up display.

I got to drive the car. That car just feels faster than my tans am. It's smoother in every way and the power delivery is linear and goes forever. I can say that while my car is fast as shit and motor wise the two cars are setup similarly, the vettes worked factory 427 lays the power down better than my built up stroker motor. I'm sure I can hang but I'm nowhere near as fast overall.

Corvette is nice ride, but this one is outstanding. I'm feeling the color, and the CF is nice, not overdone. Good work.

Why does the gap where the hood meets the front look larger on the passenger side in every pic? Either that, or the hood doesn't look like it sits flush on that side. Is it just me?

Its pretty a Katech sourced package with worked over heads. Heads got a nice port and 5 angle valve job.

Mind you the cam is mild compared to some other crazy cams that are out there. We could have made almost 700whp with a more agressive cam and stand alone c6r heads, But peak power is not what we went for here. This car makes some insane power throughout the curve. it literally puts down 100+ horses over stock in some areas of the power band. And the tq is just mind blowing, it keeps you in your seat no matter how fast your going. It makes about 85% of it's tq from 2800 rpm. i'm planning a shop tour/lunch/car show when the weather gets better, the car should be there. you east coast aziners can def come and check it out.
