This C5 Corvette is a former national championship winning NASA C5 that has been rebuilt and optimized for WRL GTO class. It is precisely on the 9.0 lb/hp class limit for WRL in its current state of engine tune. The engine is an LS1 5.3L motor rebuilt for endurance racing making 350hp/350lb ft at the wheels and weighing 3150 pounds with no ballast.
Designed originally by CorvetteSport it was raced in the early 2010s and won the TTS NASA national title in 2012 and came second in 2013 in TT2. It held several track records during this period (slicks and a larger motor).
Best of everything for a C5 build. no expenses spared. complete build sheet available to interested parties.
