So when are you going to post some pics of this animal? I have to ask: What sort of $$ will this run at the end of the day? Moton coil overs? Do they have a web site? Thanks buddy!

Link to Moton below. I am installing the club sports, which I also have in my current street/track car.http://www.motonsuspension.com/

As for the budget at the end of the day? I bought the 2002 Z06 for $23,000. Let's just say when I'm done I should have less into the car than a new 911 GT3 and hopefully will have the performance of a McClaren FI. The car will far exceed the capabilities of the driver. I have to get plenty of seat time and try to catch up to the car.

The Z06 is currently being stripped down and the build will start in earnest in about 45 days when we receive the warhawk block arrives. Will post pics!

Let me know when you're stripping it, I would like to buy the rearview mirror, knowing the way you build cars... you won't need it! LOL

Maybe some other parts as well....
