Your car looks great. I actually wish I could go a little lower, but with 345s in the rear, I don't have any room to drop the car anymore than it is now.

Did you ever consider some tubs?Thats part of my long term goals.Keep it this low,19/20s with rubber band tires.345s for the rear tubbed,full cage.I have a while,because it looks like our track won't be open for a couple years.345s sure look meaty...

It's amazing. I always find myself checking out that thread over on corvetteforum.com to look at your pics. Your car really sold me on a slammed Millenium Yellow.
