Something like the one in my sig?

Sourced it, and its mods, which became...a VETTE Magazine Project Car.

Agreed, right now it's super busy as well for such a small one. Although Camaro5 is way better than most forums.

Nice Corvette LOWDOWN is it even possible to list the mods done to it haha?

LOWDOWN - that car looks really familiar.
Did you ever race at Road America at a Midwest F-Body event?

LOWDOWN · 01-21-2013, 02:19 PM

No. Only time it has run RA was as part of the One Lap...where it topped 160 mph on the straightaway...

Speaking of RA, our friend Robert Dubler of Switzerland had a hectic ride, there, this past year during One Lap. You may have seen the aftermath on the 'net somewhere...and yet he walked away!

Anytime you're on a track, or anytime you're running in the One Lap, it's far more serious than some folks think...

Here's Robert's Swiss-based '68 L-88 Vette that was one of two that ran Le Mans in '68...
