The video gives me goose bumps! I can't wait to see it. If you need any passenger side ballast at OUSI I'm your man. LOL!

I nominate you for the most over the top, but completely understated car of the year award.

I understand how to make the ABS work on the front with the c6 based front suspension, but how did you get the ABS to work with a 9" rearend? I would love any advise or insight that you are willing to share. I have always loved the cars youve build. Always amazing and cutting edge stuff.

Herbs right, I had a front row seat at Gingerman race track this June. I spun out to the inside of turn 9 and watched several laps of Mark and the others entering 10 at speed. My go - pro was running but did not catch the flames out the exhaust as he dove into 10, Red Devil dove in hard trailbraking into the apex, it was incredible to watch.

Just curious, are these tire sizes correct? Its a little more "big and little" than I would have expected. 24.5 diameter front and 27.96 diameter on the rear.ChrisTotal Cost Involved - Ridetech - Fatman - Total Control Products - Gateway Performance - MaverickMan Carbon

I'm not going to speak for Mark, but I think the aspect ratios are switched around. Those tires are about the same used on the C6 Z06, which makes the ABS happy.
Just curious, are these tire sizes correct? Its a little more "big and little" than I would have expected. 24.5 diameter front and 27.96 diameter on the rear.Matt Jones

I saw your car at SEMA, in fact being just 2 booths away, I saw a LOT of it. Nicely done and congrats on the win!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'WOW What a Ride!'
