What clutch is in that car again? 5.5" or 7.25"? Since there are no rules, I imagine the hot ticket would be a 5.5" 3 disk carbon/carbon.

5.5"

The entire system weighs less than 10lbs.

No. They are Brembo GTR brakes.

Incredible!

How quickly can that air jack system lift the car?

Love how quick that motor rev's...

Well there was a yellow C6 road race car with Katech on the windshield.

Massive Brembos, fully vented hood, black wheels, full cage etc.

Looked a little beat up too like it had seen its share of track time

Sweet car though...I need those wheels and brakes...

Towards the back of the lower floor they had some aftermarket tuners and a whole group of SCCA type road race cars. Couple of crx's, a fiberglass wide body C5, and by far the best was the C6. I believe it had forgeline matte black competition wheels (ZX3Rs i think), I swear the same Brembo GTR slotted brakes, and I assumed a 427 when I saw the katech banner on the windshield but the hood was down so who knows.

Most of the show sucked ***. Expected to see the new ZR1, Dodge Challenger, CTS-V etc. Yeah gay bastards must have left all the cool stuff in detroit

Only manufacturer that brought their best new car was nissan with the new GTR. Not an import fan but pretty bad ***. 480hp, AWD, 11.7 quarter mile, 193mph top speed for $69k.

That was a Katech Track Attack Z06 without a cage, still had full interior and everything. The car in this thread is far different, cage, World Challenge body, air jacks, sequential transmission, the list goes on. The 2 cars are vastly different.
