Cool pictures but man those things aren't no freaking Corvette underneath. Those things are as much of a Corvette that a Montle Carlo is in NASCAR. Kind of takes away from it a bit but still very cool cars. How were u able to get in and where is this located?

It's a corvette frame.

You don't get in. It's in New Haven, MI.

Thats true. - Except for the fact that we can't sell that particular engine. At six figures each, I doubt there would be any buyers anyways.

thats badass. what a beautiful shop. i would love to just cart one of those engines off on a stroller and act like nothing was going on lol. i'd love to buy one of your engines but just a little to pricey for me.

oh and if i may take a stab at what those spring contraptions are on the exhaust. They are most likely there to keep the exhaust from vibrating and moving all over the place. I'd imagine they come in very hand at tracks like Sebring and Portland.

I think it retains the slip fit for easy changes during racing. I don't know for sure because we don't do the exhaust here.

I believe it is a quick change type set up as previously stated. Much like a 2 Stroke set up.
