      C-had The single dad man I love Ruby too as IVe had 6 corvettes , 2 being "base" c6's and an LPE c6z but totally agreed also having an LPE c5 and c5z,..I'd LOVE to see LeRoy going for the record again!!! Before I'd ever seen or heard of Cleetus I found a 2006 c6 z06 hail damage salvage donor online and thought man that would be bad ass to just take the body panels off and do some sort of cage on a c6 z06, widebody, all the magnesium space frame chassis tech/parts and floor with an LS7, but was an unknown doing something like that back then I didn't pull the trigger and years later wish I would have, lol , seeing what a base c5 has turned into been inspiring.
      I think tho Cleetus said fairly recently without some body panels it's going to be a real challenge at the manual trans world record times now but would love to see even some carbon fiber nose or something to get where he wants it, sure jsut getting air over and under would help tremendously and With the hook up at the wind Tunnel he could really utilize that connection and CAD work up some sort of light aero needed to get air over & under the flat radiator and tires, hell I'd be happy to do the CAD work free if they can get me what they need lol then Jsut 3D print and get a CF shop to mold it. 👍 I'd built a 2005 Jeep Wrangler with a build c6 LS2, Atlas II T-case , 4L80E auto and a Tera60R with a Detroit and 4:88's , thing SCREAMED out of the hole even on 35's , lift the tires every red light as wanted but the flat windshield , grill and wind dam of 35" of exposed 12.5" tire and lack of aero crippled it above 80mph , I built it as a Moab trail rig, not a drag project lol but was a hell of a lot of fun pulling up on mustangs back in the day with an extremely light 475 whp Jeep TJ wrangler. gave me a serious appreciation of aero and the lack of tho lol! Now Seeing FWD imports getting carbon wide body noses to get times much lower shows how much that lack of aero is hurting it, think a simple CF aero nose and maybe a lexan windshield would do wonders. At least worh a shot and be good content , sure a lot would love to see what that would do and if he modded an actual corvette nose , might not get hassled as much as a stick shift corvette lol. That car and getting the stick shift GM world record was what grew the channel leaps and bounds, miss seeing that car. Been here since 20k, the c7 , stock Leroy and rennely days. Missing Leroy and with all the big name backing he has now, be cool to see him really go after the world record again! All that money to Pro-Fab and Texas Speed, shame to be sitting parked so much.

He looked at that LS3 powered sand tail a while back and was hopin he was considering going LS in that but kinda dead since. Love to see the dale truck footage too. 👍👍

      @MZ-bl6wg 4 года назад +5

      bill nalder agreed! Not a chance in hell ANY of those run to the parts store. Hell they trailer them to the actual street races. They'd get a lot more street runs in if they jsut pullled up and run on the highway instead on unloading from an enclosed trailer and then playing with the laptop for 15 minutes. This 30 mile deal is cool, even cooler seeing that big ole 1,200 mile multi track event Cleetus did with the trailers , talk about street car! I had a '06 LPE c6 z06 a while back , only 606whp which was ok for the time but I did street runs, track, road course events and the optima series in Vegas once but also daily drove it winter and summer to the office, did trips with the ex wife across the country, picked my daughters up from school etc. street cars these days isn't what it used to be for a lot of them. If u have to trailer it , shouldn't be called a street car. See some had long drives and that's why but guarantee a lot of these 5,000 trailers in the video at a street car event weren't that far, but the 30 mile cruise definitely makes it a lot more legit.

When ya get bored ya oughta go back and watch that while build, was crazy! But I do love Ruby too, who woulda thought the reliable street car running 8's would be an auction corvette struck by lighting with a junkyard truck 5.3 in it with a high mount turbo and tractor flap Lolol such a cool build!
