BACKGROUND
This C3 Corvette has over 50 years of racing under its belt, mainly in SCCA and SVRA events. Starting its life as a production car, it quickly was adapted to a B production race car. It went through a few iterations in this class eventually becoming a GT1 car where it continued to compete in the Great Lakes Division of SCCA, winning a couple championships.
throughout the extensive racing history, this car was continually updated to remain competitive and current, leaving behind a car with the correct visuals of its history in racing, while still maintaining the reliability and performance of any competitive race car.
MODIFICATIONS

Duntov J56 calipers were equipped with titanium pistons.
L88 style wheel arches were equipped for ideal aero with larger wheels. Power steering and a Guldstrand mod were equipped to the front for more advanced steering and control.
DRIVING
What makes this car quick on track isn’t just power, but how naturally everything works together. The wide stance and low center of gravity give it a planted, predictable feel, allowing the car to carry speed without feeling nervous or abrupt. In technical sections, it remains stable under load, making it easy to place precisely and commit early to the throttle. Rather than demanding constant correction, the car rewards smooth inputs and confidence, which is ultimately where its pace comes from.
