I have a feeling this is road legal other than an air bag, and loud exhaust. The exhaust is a simple fix, i dunno about air bags. But either way they should sell this car like it is as a track car, it's dam reliable but constantly getting 98 octane would be a pain. That can be ramapped and still have more hp on 93.

I'm just implying that it's so much Z06 that it isn't difficult to make street legal, but i wouldn't see the point of it being street legal.

Oh sure.

It's basicly like a 360 Challenge is to the 360 stock.

But the times they set are still very very different.

i agree a Z06 "RS" or something would be AMAZING. and... its power isnt that different from a stock car... i can imagine this car may be as much as 2-3 seconds faster around a track.... like a CS vs a standard 360.

i ownder how much this car cost...? an additional 10k?

Well if you gut a car, put slicks on it, stiffer suspension, and better brakes, what the heck do you think is going to happen. The engine and drivetrain are basically stock and everything done to this car, even down to the carbon fiber parts would cost under $15k, where as a Challenge would be in the $50k range in parts if not more. THe Z06 gt3 is much closer to it's road going car compared to a Challenge and the 360.
