47 and Track at least 10 days a year. The z is wee a bit heavy (but very fun and fast), so I am building a dedicated race car (FFR 65 coupe)

41 here, just started HPDEs and have been autocrossing this season. I love the Z on the track, but I might build my C4 Corvette as a dedicated track car to keep the Z in good shape for a long time.

Link to your 65 build please

I built an English wheel and have several 3'x4' aluminum sheets in the garage from a failed try at making an aluminum body of a 65 coupe (body metal shaping is harder than it looks) FactoryFive is on my bucket list once I finish the sailboat in my garage

About 5000 miles around Sebring in the 350 from 40th bday to 50th bday when got the 370; going for longevity for the 370 so no track abuse.

Forza it is then....

I Just ordered the coupe. I could show pictures of the shop I'm building in the back yard to house it though! The foundation is being poured next week!

I expect the coupe kit to show up January
