I took delivery of the car on Thursday night but couldn't drive it until Friday. I could not be happier. The car looks fantastic, feels rock solid, and runs like a scalded cat! I was doubly lucky because the roads in Richmond have been salt-free all winter and the weather was warm and dry all weekend.
First impressions:
The LS7 motor is an absolute ANIMAL. It will liqueify the 295 series Goodyear F1s at will. Power delivery is very linear. In overdrive at 2k rpms it's a kitten. Superbly streetable. And such a blast to drive.
The builder, Sean Hyland Motorsport in Toronto, did an amazing job in such a short time. Fit and finish is wonderful, paint is gorgeous, a ton of well thought out custom touches, it's awesome.
Optima Batteries has been so great. They have gone above and beyond to make me a part of the experience and ensure my desires are met. And not to mention that their batteries are absolutely the best you can buy (or win!).
If anyone is interested, the car makes its marketing debut in the April issue of StreetRodder Magazine.
Last, but not least, I want to once again thank the members of lateral-g for all the votes. I can't wait to shake a lot of hands as the car gets shown this year and beyond.
And of course, pics and video are attached
