construction d'une c3 pro-touring en 48h (vidéo live)

Another update on the 48 Hour Corvette...

Going beyond the intended 48 hours, we worked another 16 hours on Friday, and another 16 on Saturday in order to get it to the NCM track in Bowling Green, Ky. The KYSCCA was running an event there and invited us to attend with the 48 Hour Corvette and my C7 Zo6.

The original intent of our Corvette suspension program was to get the C2/C3 cars as fast at the C7 Z06. [we like lofty goals ]

At the end of the day, the C7 Zo6 ran a best time of 50.3. The 48 Hour Corvette ran a best of 54.3. WE have identified a couple items that were a significant compromise to the cars initial performance. 1. we chose the wrong brake pads...we need a much more aggressive pad to get the car shut down and planted. 2. we need to lower the seat so Smitty can fit in the car comfortably with his helmet on. 3. we need to do a thorough alignment...we only took time for a quicky alignment on Saturday.

With those items now being fixed we should be ready for the next 2 weekends in Texas. This coming weekend is the Goodguys autocross at Texas Motor Speedway. The following weekend is the Optima Ultimate Streetcar event at the same track. I hope to see lots of Corvette fans at both events!
