The car was built by Doug Rippy for my father who used to be a SCCA competitor (Four Time National Champion). It has seen only a handful of track days and has been driven for a couple of weeks a year. The following is an excerpt from an article written about the work that has been done to this Z06 by Doug Rippie. Rippie says his engine pumps out 500 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. "Basically, there are no stock parts left in the block. We start by installing a longer-stroke crank for an added 36 cubic inches of displacement, 382 total. Then we go with lighter and stronger connecting rods, pistons, valve springs, and bearings. This car also has Z06 heads, which we ported. Then we balance the rotating parts, reprogram the computer, and install a lighter aluminum flywheel. And finally, we install a high-capacity radiator with an integral oil cooler and a tranny and differential cooler. Vettes get hot once you start upping the power, and the coolers make the thing bulletproof." For suspension, he removes the stock leaf springs and installs coil springs, a move he says makes for easier chassis tuning. He also replaces the stock Goodyear run-flat tires with BFG g-Force tires mounted on HRE aluminum wheels. Next, he swaps the Corvette brakes for six-piston front and four-piston rear AP calipers, a setup that Rippie says "will not fade. It all goes to my vision of an all-day track car. With the coolers and these big brakes, you can pound on the car all day and don't have to worry about making it home at night." Thankfully, the big brakes did not turn the brake pedal into a hair trigger and the new springs are not so punishing that we would hesitate to drive the C500/RSR on the street. The braking distance was three feet better than in the last Z06 we tested, stopping from 70 mph in only 157 feet. There's a small bump in skidpad grip over that of the Z06, 0.97 g versus 0.96 g. The DRM car feels stable and not spooky and is less bothered by midcorner bumps than is the stocker. At the skidpad, Rippie noted, "Understeers, doesn't it? We can dial in any sort of handling balance we want, but we find that a touch of understeer is safer without being significantly slower." This car is a true pleasure to drive. It's responsiveness, handling and power are all perfectly balanced and you will not find this level of performance for this price anywhere. The owner knows cars and knows how to take care of them. This car has been serviced regularly, handled with care and stored in an underground temperature controlled garage all year.
