Hey Guys,

Hot Rod Magazine is going to be track testing an '85 Corvette on July 12 and we are in need of a spare set of STOCK wheels for the car. We'll stick new tires on them and give them back to the owner. There should be a pretty decent amount of new tread left on the tires when we are done.
Anyone from socal feel like loaning out a set? send me an email if you do. Thanks!

Oh yeah, we are also looking for a stock electric fan for the car.

Tell ya what, your REAL racers right?

I've spent 3 years building my car up, it's finally coming together.

You want to race?

You want to go head-to-head?

Your monstrosity against mine built with the best of the best.

It's a true test

Hack street rod against everything that can done RIGHT with the car.

Then you'll find out what you've really accomplished.

By destroying that C4 the value of your C4 just went up by another $50.

This quote alone made me register on this board, I cannot stop laughing, c4's make terrible track cars, even if you stuff 315's in the front the car and throw double adjustable's in it, the car still plows. This article will show how you can actually make a C4 fast on track, which means pretty much getting rid of everything on the car because it was designed in the 70's.

Funny seeing the whole C4 community rage about the whole thing, Hot Rod made a interesting article that I guarantee will sell more magazines, even if you throw a huge hissy fit about it. Also there would be no increase in hot rod subscriptions if they did a "build" on a C4, you act as if the C4 community is massive and continually growing, which it is not and in fact its decreasing(everybody wants to upgrade to C5/C6's get over it).

To David Freiburger,
Keep up the good work, love the magazine.
