  • Yea, you guys need to read! "It's since been raised up a tad." Last sentence I typed It's back up to level, slight rake. Still barely higher than what it is in the pics but enough where I don't have problems driving it. Car still holds a slight rake. Stance is about perfect all the way around with rim-fender gap about dead nuts.

          LMAO, I'd love to spank that myself!

          Here's how it sits now, front up a touch. Sits perfectly level. Wheels are 18 up front, 19 out back, but they have the same sidewall tire front and rear with the fronts being roughly 25.5 and rears being 26.5 so the stance sits level. Can barely fit 1 finger between tire and fender on all 4 corners. In the pictures above the front was tucking tire, lmao. No issues driving like this other than the intended rollers hitting occasionally on steeper curbed places.... but thats what they're there for! I can totally see where some of you are coming from saying it's too low as I know how the clearance is on an f-body, but this car is completely different. NOTHING hangs on this car at all so there is nothing to scrape. The ONLY thing I ever scrape is the rollers up front on steep curbed inclines/declines.

          BARELY enough light. Here's how it sits now, just this touch higher makes a big driveability difference!

              Yep, it will be getting done. My buddy is pretty backed up with jobs at the moment and I'm off at school. Probably one of these weekends this fall!

                    Is that a real question? It's a vette, car was made to fit golf clubs! Has more storage area than my old TA being a strict 2 seater. But yeah, def fits a few sets of clubs with ease. Pretty sure one of the regulations when building a corvette is that it must fit at least 2 sets of golf clubs in it, his and hers, haha.

                    • Lol, I've honestly ridden in a corvette once, and had no time to check out the storage. I had no idea how much room was under the hatch.

                        No problem Plenty of storage in these guys. Also it is pretty much a cliche that vettes and golfing go hand n hand, lol

                        • Hell of a day! Woke up early and drove down to the bridge to snap some pictures. Headed out after that to Stenod Performance and strapped the car down for a quick dyno pull, 328/328 was the results. Corsa and Vararam are the only mods, m6 '99 car. Big thanks to Joe for getting me in! Found a good spot on the way home and snapped a couple of smokey pictures to cap the day off :thumbs: Let me know what you think! Link to dyno pull at bottom, nothing special though
