Default Good to be home
It is sooo good to be home. After spending a week in Doha, Qatar Building a 07 C6 Z06. Got some pretty good pics that I will have posted after while. The cars that these guys have are amazing. Will also post the video of Chuck and I in the back seat of a BMW M6 drifting around a "roundabout".

We did Cylinder heads, Stage 3 Cam, Dual Disc clutch, and a NOS plate system. The car on a dynojet would have made about 730 RWHP.
