We are going a little “Corvette crazy” around here as these very capable track worthy cars come down in price. First up we have a brand new Vorshlag Project Build Thread for tester Mark Council’s 2002 C5 generation Corvette, which we have dubbed the eBay Corvette.
This car had a mish-mash of both good and bad aftermarket parts on it, which we are testing, evaluating, upgrading and even creating for this car. We started off with custom spec’d 18×11″ Forgestar CF5 wheels and big BFGoodrich Rival tires, which was a step in the right direction. With just a few repairs and the new shoes installed, Terry ran this car at the Optima Ultimate Street Car qualifier at Texas Motor Speedway. Stay tuned for many more upgrades on this C5 as we move it towards NASA TT2 class, and of course follow the build thread which is posted on multiple forums.
You’ve probably heard of our 1992 Corvette, Project #DangerZone, and the latest build thread update lists the safety upgrades completed to make this car have less of a “zone of danger”.
Many oil leaks were fixed, a new suspension (springs) was added, the roll cage and nets were completed – which gets this car closer to PTC prep. For now we’re running this very low cost track car in NASA TTC class. Check out the latest work here.
There are also some new “This Week At Vorshlag” videos plus in-car videos from our last NASA event (MSR-Cresson in March) located on our new and improved Vorshlag YouTube channel.
