my fully modded and lightened C3

[panic]

...hi, i'm new to this corvette 'branch' of the gassing station forums, i wanted to introduce my 4 speeds manual '77 C3, fully and deeply modded in suspensions, braking, weight and, of course, power. She has an 'American Speed' 406ci engine good for 575hp dinoed at 6.300rpms, weight dropped to 2.775lbs (from 3.600lbs). I'm an italian (the second guy from the left in the first pic), expat at the moment in northern spain. I usually post in 'corvetteforum.com'...

Nice one,i once read the C3 was the ultimate car shape and described as the 'penis on wheels',its easy to see why and i bet the performance on your vette is breathtaking.

yes, performance is breathtaking, i never went to check on a track but with these specs of weight and power plus the rear gears 4.11, the quarter should be around low 10 sec and the 0 to 60 around 2.5''(with warmed up tires, good launch and perfect dry tarmac)

Don't go having a vasectomy will you!

This has got to be the 'butchest' mid 70's C3 around.
