Cool. Thanks. I am thinking I was off on the defactoring. Probably need to lower the NHRA HP by least 80 hp off for the CNC porting.

Your in D-3 have you talked to Paul Booster he runs a nice red vette with front mount trans. and solid rear set up . Its fast and goes rounds , he won the dutch race at maple grove 2 years ago . I wouldn't run the IRS with trans its a sports car deal and you will blow it up . I think you can go with block mount bell , clutch and trans.(G-force or Gerico) and solid rear . It is a faster set up too . The Z06 is a nat. AA/s stick only car I think .So I was looking at the less HP combo with automatic . But its out of my buget for now . Good luck and I hope you build one totally cool car .

The rulebook does allow for moving the tranny up front, but i have heard that the car doesnt hook as well. Plus, the cost of moving it would be astronomical!

But then, if I wanted to race for cheap, then I should choose something besides a 'vette!!

This really caught my eye when you asked this question. I love a corvette the old an new modle's. So I did a little research an found a cople c5 an c6 corvette's running in stock. Jonathan womack runs a c6 a/sa an paul boster c5 d/sa an al corda in c5 c/sa. These guys could probably help you out the most. I dont have any contact info. this. I seen a couple video's on youtube an theses cars leave hard. Wheels up. Hope this helps.
