World’s 1st manual C8 Corvette drift car (pt.4)

The four-time event winner Matt Field introduces Worl’s 1st Manual C8 Corvette drift car. Look at the transformation from a flood-damaged chassis into a full FD-spec drift car! The goal is to complete it in a year, have some demo run next year, and maybe compete in 2025!

Now that we’ve got the C8 down to a bare chassis, it’s time to get the LS swap fitted so that we can start to plot out where other stuff will need to get routed or installed. The good news is, we already know it’s going to have plenty of room, but it’s nice to get the positioning squared away. Alec and I also got a chance to tear apart the steering rack and start to mock up where the nitrous and radiator will get placed up front. Makin’ lots of progress!
