You gotta see this car

It might not be everyones cup of tea, but this is one incredible Corvette build.

Quite a few big pics, so maybe not that 56k friendly.

Thanks for that,i love to see fine engineering like on those pages,that crank has it been ground away,does it weaken it?

[stevieturbo]

I'm guessing W2W are aiming for well in excess of 1000bhp with this car. The crank usually carrys a lot of excess weight, as thats just the way its cast.
As with everything, there is room for improvent, although it does look like there is a lot of metal inserted back into the webs, most likely for balancing.

No idea how much it weighs compared to a std crank. The std ones are drilled thru the jornals anyway, to try and reduce weight. Something around a 22-24mm hole I think, as you can sort of see in the pics.

The car, that cage, everything, is really a work of art.

Hard to tell with half the car missing lol.
