It’s no secret that there is a huge following for road racing Corvettes. From your local autocross to the professional level, these glass-bodied ambassador for America’s Sports Car are everywhere. Perusing the market for used race cars is a grab bag of basket case dumpsters all the way up to ex Formula 1 cars — narrowing the scope of our focus to the attainable and truly reasonable track cars we found this specimen.

Beginning life as a typical C5 ‘Vette, this metallic gray road racer is well established in SCCA Pro Trans AM, but could get the blood pumping of anybody looking for a domestic toy with some getup. Warmed over with a plethora of go-fast goodies, the owner claims an overall investment of nearly $90,000.

The fit and finish of the Derrhagg body looks fantastic and is affixed to the original structure with an assortment of racing latches and hood pins. Sweeping body lines are the name of the game as the integrated splitter and low slung nose wrap into canard-like veins in front of the tires. The Side wing vents blend into the rocker panels before arching into a set of modest yet attractive rear fender flares.

Powering this GT1 Corvette is a small block 358 with an advertised three races on the clock. The running gear takes shape in the form of Brembo brakes, AFCO shocks, Childress control arms, and a Tilton 7.25-inch racing clutch.

Importantly this car has been recently campaigned through 2015, and includes an up to date log book through 2016. Documentation is important in weighing the value of race cars and this one looks ready to strike.
