More info needed… is this a buildup for road course or auto-x? Because it looks alot like what you’d see in a Prepared class buildup. ---

the car is in the netherlands, ill see if i can get some info on the intended use, but i know he was trying to find DOT approved slicks for the car, so its either its gonna be used on the street, or the car is going to compete in class that requires dot tires. i know he said he wont be doing much DRAG racing with the car few specs: 1982 Corvette Coupe Twin Turbo SBC355 5 stage dry sump oiling Zf6 speed transmission.

all that turbo and it has side draft carbs and a tiny trans, seems like poor planning, or rule requirements. ---

"The engine in the pics is a 355 but it’ll come out again once the 598 is ready. This one has 2 rotomaster t04b S-4 trim .96AR O trim turbos, boost is controlled w/ 2 3 port adjustable wastegates so I can remotely set it to anything I want. These turbos should be capable of running about 25psi of boost " 🙂 ---

Updated: > [@Twin\_Turbo](#): > > Been a long time since I posted here…have been busy and working on the car also > > It’s actually rolling now :). I changed the rear suspension, I dropped the 5 bar (after I had it almost finished) and built a double a arm suspension instead. I also completed the rack and pinion steering and most of the rollcage. ---
