*sigh* When I was looking...I was going to get a 07 ZO6. But no dealer here wanted to even consider working on a MSRP price. The ones in Kerbeck were okay...but they didnt have the option that I was looking for originally. The ZR1 was not mentioned yet at that time. Though...100K for a car?? Whoa...a bit much there. More so when I am bitching about the 400K condos.
The option then was presented to me for the ACR Viper. It was a deal that I couldnt resist. That was in February 07. So...almost a year later....and yes I am still waiting for delivery. Didnt really help matters that the person doing the work was involved in the American Lemans either. So....10K in parts and...14K in labor and other "tinkerings" later....I am finally in the process of making the arrangements to ship it here from San Diego.
So...soon and hopefully before spring....I will be able to go for a drive and crash the G35 meets. But hey Chris.....I got pictures of the completed project at least if you want to see them.

However what I cannot do is have the electronic aids and paddle shifters. The paddle shifters alone will greatly help performance of the car.
Tuning the chassis and wind tunnel testing is something that we do not have any resources for. You cannot just throw stuff together and expect it to perform like a Lotus tuned chassis.
I am disappointed the car is so heavy though.

Now that was funny. So far zero. A good thing too. It was supposed to dyno something like 500 rwhp and 500+ torque. I dont think that I will be lending out those keys...no offense to anyone. For that matter...I wonder if I will be okay with that as well. Hope the stevadores dont help me in that department as well....one of my biggest fears.
Baces-I sent the files to 5-O...I can send them to you via e-mail. Stupid pics needs to be resized. They sent me 11MB file sizes.

I've done a lot of work in the waterfront area. If this was a rental or normal car they are going to fly it down the pier.
If they know how much money it is and more importantly power, I seriously doubt they'd fly it. I saw a Z8 on Maui once, the guys never got the car up past 15 mph and these are the same guys who would rip down the pier doing 40-45 mph.
My suggestion to you is to call the shippers when they are sending the car and advise them as to the dollar value and power of the car and how much you'll be suing them for if it gets messed up. Closed container right?
