You know what I think I ran into the prototype for that RK Sport Corvette about a year and a half ago. There was a Corvette convention in town and this thing snuck up behind me. I swear he must have chirped fourth on 20's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

That car was on motortrend television on the John Moss GM toy box test. I its pretty bad, c5r block with all the goodies. I think PSJ was right about the 9.40 to 9.50 times at least that is what they said on the show.

The yellow Camaro is a GM project car, mostly built by Kurt Urban/Wheel to Wheel. Wheel to Wheel has done about half of the GM project cars.

I believe it's gone 9.4 or 9.5 actually.

I ripped the MotorTrend episode with the GM Performance cars on it. You can see the two parts to it here:

http://www.derty.org/movies/misc/Corvettes.WMV

Give them a little time (maybe 10:30 AM EST) to upload.

The yellow car has been around for quite awhile. I believe it was the first ls1 in the 10's and the 9's. It has changed alot over the years.
