Here's my car. C5 Corvette drivetrain, suspension, wheels, tires bolted to a space frame which keeps the Z06 track and wheelbase. The engine is moved rearward 20inches for a true mid engine balance. My brother in law, Paul and I sculpted the body which is inspired by the 1950's sports racers. It's street legal and goes like stink! 405hp, 1980lbs, thats only 4.88 lbs per hp which I believe beats the GT 500 and the new ZR1. This car costs less than $30,000 to build. I like the other ones but can't afford one.
