Unfortunately the key visual item - the nose - isn't back yet, but you get the idea

Looking very good! Can't wait to see it finished

Wait, what nose do you have planned? Because that looks badass as it is. Put two round headlights beside the radiator and you can rock a '30s hot rod look.

You know, I was just thinking the same thing, that with an appropriate nose it would have a strong hotrod look. However, FWIW it's more of an early formula car nose... but yeah, a chrome one with vertical bars could sure change its look.

The nose looks good too...so you have two options based on what style you want.

I know this sounds like a backhanded compliment, but it looks better than I thought that it would.

Very nice, in fact.

Think that you'll be able to take your brother? I doubt it on a high speed track, but on tight stuff, you may just show him your tailights.

I love the dark metallic green color. The rear end looks awesome.

I don't know. His LS3 has a very wide torque curve, and though mine is fairly wide, it's not as wide. He'll have 400+ hp, as will I. Aerodynamically the cars will be about the same though I have a smooth undertray. The only real place I think I may do better is traction since I have more of rear weight bias. At high speed... who knows. It may end up being who is last to lift, which may be him. As mid-engine drivers know, high speed oversteer has to be handled very delicately.
