Gentlemen Start Your Engines!!

Congratulations Cliff, I bet it sounds amazing...
Dan/Geoff sure do some great work - I look forward to seeing it in the flesh.
Mine is now going to be a little delayed as I have now ordered new wheels and Brakes etc so I'll see you up there at the next "open day"
You will have to enter it into the next Bruntingthorpe meet, Geoff's did really well - I have got some good video of it blowing away a Porsche Turbo and one of the latest TVR's. Shame I missed the run that Dan did against the Chimeara 500... He even gave it around a 6 car head start and still caught it by the first corner !!

JT,nice to know you approve,if i had known you where over i would have gone out of my way to come up and buy you a drink 
Richard, ime not in no hurry to get her on the road as there are a few other things to be done,are you going to "Wheels Day"?.
Jason, once i get my z back i will make arrangements for a few track days ,i heard some good things about Geoff and Daniel's trip and "class" on educating the Clarkson brigade that Yanks are not that bad at handling after all they hear.
You will find a considerable improvement from the brake upgrade and IMO one of the best improvements a Vette owner can make,what wheels are you getting??
As for the sound of the car i have just got off the phone to Daniel and heard the car running in the background,the only way i can describe it is in "Bullit" half way thru the chase the Mustang ends up in the grit to avoid the motorcyclist SM revs it before getting back on the road....well is that the best sound to be heard from a motor

Yeah, sorry Cliffy, it was an unplanned and very short UK visit. I wanted to surprise and scare the living $hit out of Blackzr, in that I was successful.
Next time buddy.
