 DRM
has now completed our latest race car project. Slated for GT3 competition in
Europe, the car packs an production block LS1 stroked to 383 cubic inches.
After 3 months of engine development and $100,000 of engine R&D, the
engine now boasts 628 horsepower at 6400 rpm and 560 lb ft of torque at
4800 rpm. It's all fed by
a DRM custom carbon fiber induction system into 8 DRM custom billet aluminum
throttle bodies. The DRM fabricated chassis uses some C5R style suspension components, and is dressed in full C5R style bodywork.
Tipping the scales
at roughly 2,600 pounds, this GT3 also utilizes the full factory C5 Corvette drivetrain.
Our final track testing was completed last week at Hallett Raceway in Oklahoma. Everything went fantastic. The engine ran flawlessly and the race car exceeded our wildest dreams. The car has been shipped via a Boeing 747 and is now in Switzerland where it will be raced. We wish "Oscar" the best of luck with his new C5 race car! Watch for the next DRM project soon to be completed: The construction of our 2000 C5 World Challenge race car driven by Scotty B. White. You can have Doug build a DRM C5R for you too. Just allow at least 6-month and $300,000 and its yours.
