The one to beat...

Jim McNemar just had a complete overhaul (again) of his new 2008 Z06. He now has what is essentially a World Challenge Tranny in the car, and they went in and added a bigger cam. With the air temps in the shop at near 120 degrees the car stil twisted the dyno at over 566 to the wheels and they expect more with a little tweaking and in an 80 degree ambient temp. scenario!

Jim also just added the new graphics. I previously posted pics of the car and some stats with the car in it's factory red paint sans graphics...

Tom, You've got a good eye... This is Jim's other car:



He was in Red run group back in March when you guys were up... He's a PCA instructor!

Jim was running 2:04s in his GT3, so we fully expect he'll be down in the 1:59s or faster in this beast.

even though I am not a fan of flashy paint, I have to say the paint job on that zo6 is nice. That thing must sound vicious.

Well if 1badGT2 gets his car done THAT is the one to beat, but this car has some serious gonads. I hope he brings it to Zone 2. Would be interesting to see him run with Matt and those guys.

That Z06 would be the one to beat (with a great driver, which he is).

Great looking car!
