This time, Freiburger and Finnegan were out for a gearhead vacation, heading from the NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indy to HOT ROD Drag Week in Tulsa, but they had no car to drive.

Fri, Nov 28, 201429 mins
We hack the entire body off a C4 Corvette, cage it, and call it a race car.

Less weight means more acceleration, better cornering, and better stopping.
