Sorry about that, I’m painting right now, Dads birthday is on the 7th and I wanted for him to be able do birthday donuts in his own roadster. For the last few years we almost get one finished to keep but, they either it makes it to a rolling chassis stage or just barely running then we have had to sell it. I count 5 times in the last 2 years so this year I was hoping to be a little different and give dad a nice birthday present for his 60th. (He’s old)
We have been working on this and our “paying jobs” plus we are waiting on the radiator, fuel cell, new
oil pan, coil over shocks, and the torque tube to make there way to the shop and then we will really make some progress on the cobra.
And I thought this was funny a gentleman from the Round Rock Cobra Club saw the tail end of our cobra in the door and stopped to poke in and see what was going on. Turns out they do some serious racing, and he was familiar with the C5-C6 corvettes. So Jim looks over with this smug little grin on his face and asks “So when we get this running do you guys want to race?” the other guy just looked back at that transaxle and shook his head and said “I don’t think that would be fair.”
So here are some of the up grades and why I want to sell this one off and find a New Z06 the brakes in the photo from smallest to largest, C5 (97-04) stock front brake 2 pistons, C6 (05-06) Stock front brake as well as the C6 Z06 Rear brake 4 pistons and 4 separate brake pads. Last is the factory brake for the C6 Z06 front 6 piston and they all are interchangeable. This will make slowing down a piece of cake the only thing I would be worried about is some one who doesn’t know how to drive just locking up the brakes and loosing it.
And if any of my other info is wrong please correct me I have confused stuff before and the fact it’s 4:30 A.M. and i woke up at 10 AM. yesterday don’t help
