I've been using the Minolta 88C-V you win with Gone Like the Wind. With a Stage 3 turbo that thing is NASTY!

I'm using a C6 Z06 in the lower level stuff, but I need to get some money set aside for when I hit level 15 to buy a ZR1 and race prep it.

to win like the wind you'll have roughly 800ish into it...... just make sure to race mod it before doing actual modifications to it.

Yeah I've stopped modding cars until I race mod them. The most I do is the $500 air filter, $1500 exhaust and the $1000 ECU upgrades with $3000 isn't hurting me and on some cars gives me a nice little boost of power.

You can do all the mods, race mod, and then go back into your garage and add all the parts.

Well I'm saying is that you will end up doubling up on a lot of the crap you've already purchased. I'm pretty sure when I got the ZR1 and race modded it the fully adjustable trans, drivetrain stuff, clutch, chassis weight reduction stuff, etc was already included.

I bought the ZR1 seeing what Steve has been saying about it. I have only done the stage 3 engine mod and tires. It is a beast forsure for the lower levels. I cannot imagine what it is like s/c'ed and race modded. Still rockin the OE suspension on it as well.

I'm working from home today with a sick daughter. I've let me Spec B driver have at it all day and he's been doing pretty damn well without me telling him what to do at all.

If you have access to that American race in the Extreme series, take your ZR-1 to that Indy event, you'll make about 30k more than Like the wind (110k per run.)
