You and your "pretty dash". Took the cover off the flatbed dash to add switches and guages.. had ran out of time.. Started using it.. "next week" was 15+ yrs ago.. Confuses folks, anti theft Some smartass says, "Bob, wires belong in the dash". Buddy says "There are wires in the dash"

Where did you find the cable? I don't recall seeing 5/32 at the hardware store.

I take it the techs at most tracks will require a double spring on throttle return?

[fatguyzinc]

we will not be talking about the shape, color, or use of my leather goods.

"plausible deniability"?

[fatguyzinc]

Do you have a black leather mask and cape?

my money is on yes--double or nothing says theres also a riding crop,
thigh high leather boots and a studded leather thong in the mix as well.......

they dont call him SUPERbuick for nothing.....

Will there be local Optima Challenge events near your area? Or will you have to trailer the car far to get to any of them?
Sounds like traction, or controlling all that power will be your biggest issue at any event. I'm sure once you've gotten your right foot educated to the Corvette it will do well!

Looks good! This car reminds me of the batmobile. Do you have a black leather mask and cape?

Good to hear that a plan has worked and there are no unexpected surprises in the suspension department.

I built this for the Optima Challenge.... of course, the question is whether or not there will a rule change before next year...

It should do well, all the good parts are there. Trick will be getting it all dialed in with brake bias, shock damping, spring rates, bla bla bla. Curious, how much camber will you be starting with?
Oh... and that part where your right foot and your hands do the right thing. Corner exit will be a little tricky I think

I've been quietly watching this, love it, Excellent work!
Now please go try and drive this in an auto-cross just for fun.

I drove it today. It's like driving a light switch - but one where the light is already on, it just goes brighter.... much, much brighter...

if there is any car that drives like a CR500R,
its a healthy big block in a C2 or C3 vette.....

[74NovaMan]

Very Nice!

The go bit seams to be sorted, so now we're waiting to hear how it goes through a corner.
