6-Second C5 Turbo LSX Corvette Build Update

We all love the idea of a home-built hot rod and sometimes it just seems out of the realm of possibility to build a 6-second car on the weekends. But stray from the usual, Yellowbullet member DaCajun plans on taking his home-built C5 Corvette deep into the 6’s. You may remember back in April we did a preview on this build and luckily for us we are enlightened with more build progress pictures and info.

Amazingly enough this build is completed with no sponsors at all and is being funded completely out of pocket. The car is planned to race in the Texas true 10.5 extreme street class. Some versatility was being put into the car in case the owner decides he would like to try a different tire and/or class to race. For the TT5 extreme class the rules only allow a maximum of a single 88mm turbo and that is what will be used for boosting the LSx power plant. The owner also plans to attend some of the PINKS TV show races, and a more attention grabbing roots blown motor will be used for those.

The setup out back will be the tried and true 4-link setup with a full-floater rear end. Nothing but quality for the suspension department with Santhuff shocks in the rear and Strange components up front. To slow down this bullet from over 200mph will be Strange brakes with the necessary dual calipers in the rear.

The TT5/Radial tire classes are the hottest buzz lately and this car will surely be an interesting addition to the class. The car is almost ready to roll and we expect to see it turn in some impressive time slips when the racing finally kicks off in 2010.
