This was…11 years ago, so can’t exactly recall. It is my recollection that this was the Magnaflow “kit” for the 70-72 but with the Flowmaster rear pipes (as they are/were better designed.

Won’t be at that one, too far from Atlanta for me to want to travel right now.

It's the same sequential, but pneumatically activated by paddle shifters.

Katech has no parts on this car. GSpeed designed, engineered, and built this combo (engine, car, etc.). 830whp / 3150 race ready.

​@@EricDFlemingthat's Louis Gigliotti's MSR Shop isn't it??? Local is ALWAYS so much better whenever possible!!!

@@foxschaffer9374 correct! Just wish it were local to me :)

@@EricDFleming Wow, 3,150 pounds? That's basically stock weight, isn't it? Heavier than I thought it would be.

@@justsomerandomguymanrace ready, driver and fuel load.

one really big meter?

From 12 on, my lap was.....compromised. Not by Lyfe necessarily, I just got greedy, tried to over compensate, and then missed some key turn in points.

Turbos are great, and have their place...but why reinvent the wheel if not necessary.

It’s a second and a half faster than SRO qual 2, and the same time as sro qual 1, and 2 sec faster than the factory GTLM C7R on a customer tire, not a confidential tire. Did I mention that it’s driven by the car owner, and not a wringer driver? Did I mention it’s shelf parts you can buy on eBay not exotic factory built race car with millions of dollars of development by the OEM and a bunch of enthusiasts? I think it’s cool, and so do so many others.

Haters gonna hate. So what if a GT3 car developed by the factory with tens of millions of development dollars and a team of dozens of mechanics run a similar lap. Dude built a N.A. car with shelf parts, developed it himself and laid down crazy times. Good for him. And I’m a Porsche guy saying that.

@@mfc2257 I'm not a hater. In no case. The pilot is great, no questions asked. Especially considering that this Corvette is trying to kill the driver at every turn.

@@ivanhool7322 imaging thinking that fast track car is "trying to kill the driver at every turn" Delusion level is strong, especially since you can clearly see in the video how planted and stable car is

Off the crusher with it I guess. Slow ole pile of junk. Thanks for the feedback.

I was told it was rather rowdy sounding when I would blast by! zoom zoom

Yeah, I have a recording of it, but videos do no justice. You could hear it coming from afar, and the downshifts echoed through the stands 💥

It's crazy that it's on par with GT3 car Qualy times. The fastest n/a GT3 lap this year was a 2:03.5 in a Mercedes AMG GT3. Very impressive that this lap was so close

I think so too... This was not a "proud" lap when I watch it back. Messed up several key areas that cost me a bit of time.

Thanks for sharing the lap! It's not the best lap, but it isn't bad either. Maybe ~2s to be found on the high end if my sense of speed is calibrated correctly ;). That would take the overall record of course! Didn't you say this was a lot of firsts? I don't remember exactly... first time @ COTA maybe? First time with those tires? I'm sure you'd be there with a few more fast sessions to practice and get dialed in. Either way, I really like the car, and hope to see more of it!@@EricDFleming

@@colinbowman8816 I think 2 would be really strong based on what we were seeing in the data, but gains to be had no doubt. I’m not proud of my line in this video…we worked on tidying up the driving all weekend. To that point, yes first time I had ever driven a Michelin slick, and first time for anything big(ish) aero. It was a helluva steep learning curve. I’m also had not driven this car since April of the prior year due to an unfortunate on-track incident. So all sorts of rust to knock off and quickly get up to speed. All in, I’m happy with where we ended up!

Correct. Last off season the car was gutted of all remaining factory wiring. All motorsports stuff at this point.

Cool. What do u think the time gain at Road America is from Bosch ABS? 1.5 seconds maybe? And what’s the bigger improvement, Motec traction or the ABS?

Tilton 4 plate 7.25"

Thank you sir.

Motec traction control

The difference between my amateur driving and a pro. I give up a bunch of time through the twisty bits.

I added a fresh coat of wax just before the lap 😉 Hoping to go even faster next year!

@@EricDFleming hahaha

Driver and fuel, probably 3100 +/-

He was definitely on a cool down. I think he was turning 1:35 laps, so not too far back.

Possibly... This car is also pretty touchy at throttle tip-in with such a large throttle body. This was my 1st time at CMP outside of a DE day in an slow car many years ago, but regulars said the track lacked grip compared to normal/prior visits. This car runs a relatively light spring and pretty small bars already. Compression could have been softened a touch but just managing throttle application is tricky. I'm not hugely thrilled with how gentle I have to be on throttle tip-in.

@@EricDFleming Watching it again a couple times carefully. It really appears to be very loose everywhere Corner entry off throttle, mid corner, definitely on exit. What's your chassis rake like? Really seems like the back end of the car isn't in the track at all. Has decent brake dive, I see it rubbing the rf tire over the creek crossing. Do you have bump rubbers in there?

@@WyFoster I don't disagree with your assessment. I don't recall how much rake is in the car, but 3/4" sounds familiar. That is the first time the RF has rubbed under braking, I attribute that more to the new wheel offset than excessive nose dive. I have titanium blocks on splitter and while there are indications of rub, none of the video/pictures/etc. I've seen of the car on track show sparks. Possibly more front compression and less on rear and/or checking rebound to help weight transition a bit better.

​@@EricDFleming 20mm of rake is a large amount for something so powerful. I'd drop the back down to maybe 5-8mm. That should help significantly.
