Vanishing Point Race Cars and Gil Mobley are not out talking smack and bragging about their latest project – they don’t have to – because the car does the talking.

The famed Outlaw 10.5 racer is stepping up once again with a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette being turned into the most innovative 10.5 car in the pits for the upcoming season. The new C7 body style is arguably one of the sleekest, most aerodynamic designs to date from the minds at Chevrolet. The innovative crew at Vanishing Point Race Cars took an all-factory body, straight from Chevrolet, and built this masterpiece for Mobley. VPRC has many diligent hours into the mounting process for the body, including three full days for each individual door in modifying it for weight and Lexan purposes.

You may be wondering, “What is going to power this magnificent piece of artwork?”

Sticking to typical Mobley style, the new Corvette will be packing a huge punch with a powerful Brad Anderson HEMI with a PSI screw supercharger providing the massive amounts of boost needed to run the big numbers that the team is looking to run. The Lencodrive transmission will transfer all that horsepower through the driveline to the Mark Williams modular rear end housing which will turn the Mickey Thompson 33 x 10.5W slicks and plant the power and torque to the concrete.

VPRC has done an amazing job on the new Mobley Racing C7 Corvette, paying extra attention to all the details. The chassis was designed in-house at VPRC and is built to meet SFI-25.2B specifications. The Corvette will use a custom VPRC Pro Series 4-link setup to hold the rear end housing to the chassis and provide adjustment to meet adequate “bite” for the Corvette.

Mobley Racing is definitely going to have one of the trickest, cleanest and stealth-looking Outlaw 10.5 cars ever, thanks to Vanishing Point Race Cars.

To make sure the car remains hooks andirons straight and true, Jim Geese and team installed their custom Pro Anti-Roll Kit, as well. Finishing off the suspension, a VPRC-exclusive X-Link, was installed to keep the rear end housing centered during the entire run making consistency imminent.

Gil Mobley and his team have definitely made a huge step towards putting their program back at the forefront of the competitive Outlaw 10.5 category. Vanishing Point Race Cars set out to prove the point that they’re one of the top race car builders in the country, always looking at the small details along with the obvious parts.

We look forward to keeping up with this build and cannot wait to provide a completion article when Jim Geese and his team at Vanishing Point Race Cars in Loganville, Georgia complete one stellar piece of machinery for Gil Mobley Racing. Outlaw 10.5, beware.
