Album Info:

Of course, most hot rodders didn't try to build all-Chevrolet FIA-homologated Z06's. Instead, they took relatively standard Corvettes, probably bought used, souped up or replaced the engines and drivetrains, and fitted them with wheels and tires far larger than what Chevy made. They would also opt to set the cars up more for a drag strip than a track, and it has been my intention for some time to build a C2 drag racer, but in this first release I'm going to skip it. Instead, I'm giving you this hot rod that's set up more for track and er....street use. Why? The Redline drag racing scene is, to say the least, very limited, but people race on tracks and street courses every night, so it's a no-brainer that I should be catering to that crowd. Therefore....this car comes with (mild) custom paint, 235mm BF Goodrich T/A radial tires on custom rims (based on a design I found online, but with knockoffs) a Muncie M22 4-speed manual transmission, a stock 3.7 POSI differential, and a 327 V-8 with dual Carter 4-bbl carbs running on 100 octane avgas, for 425 net horsepower. The body design is, aside from the paint, stock, as is the interior, and overall this is a crude job that I intend to refine in future releases. In the meantime, though, it's fast, driveable, and authentic, as there would be no obstacle to building a car like this in real life. The engine is, in fact, copied exactly from a real engine that one of my friends built.
