Default Corvette Sets Class Record by 4 seconds

[IMG][/IMG]

This is an in-car video of a 2007 C6 Corvette with an LS7 engine and Grand Sport body work. Done by Phoenix Performance with Driver Andrew Aquilante, this car broke the New Jersey Motorsports Park class record by an amazing 4 seconds.

Car has American Racing Headers, Penske Shocks, Brembo front brakes, T1 springs and bars, and the rest is pretty much a C6. So, it's kind of a steel framed Z06, with a few racing mods.
Took place this past weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park.
Sit back and enjoy...

Very nice to see these cars used for the reason they're built

Was it a stock LS7?

Yes, that's a stock LS7 engine.
And the driveline is stock with GM T1 suspension.

I have a couple of more pics of the car that I'll post up too!
