We asked our new BadBoy friend Lou Gigliotti of LG Motorsports (http://www.lgmracing.com) for some pictures of the progress of his GT2 Vette. Here's what we got back-
“These photos are [of] various chassis. But, the final build is taking place on the red chassis. Not allowed to release other photos as "http://www.rileytech.com/Newsarticles/News.asp?Itm=28"] Riley is still keeping things close to the vest.
We plan to test on the way down to the 12hr, then will hit Sebring next Sat / Sunday.
[Drivers] Doug Peterson and I got fitted to the seat today, as well as Marc Goossens (http://www.marcgoossens.com/www/html/frames_english.htm) FYI- The pedals are on an electric servo so the "Tall Guy" drivers can fit the car with a touch of a button. I am 5'6, the perfect driver size, while my teammates suffer from being 6'1".
Check out the CRD-built Ferrari-killer LS3 engine! More pictures next week! This GT2 C6 by Riley Technologies (http://www.rileytech.com/) will be a sight to behold when complete.”
'GT2 Lou' also hinted that the front splitter will be dramatic. IT IS! What we also see is a stout chassis, individual cross-flow intakes similar to the GT1 LS7.R, and unique bodywork. Note the shapes of the fender tops. They seem more rounded than the sharp edges of the GT1 front fenders. One shot looks like a NACA duct is being fitted to the nose [engine intake?] and the nose itself is sporting very distinctive air mgt. aerodynamics......
....yet still leaves room for a JAKE SKULL!
