That camera needs a hands free bye bye zoom mode cause you won't have people in view for very long. they'll keep getting smaller and smaller.

But, just to point this out: It's not a Z/28, it's a Z/28 killer. Z/28 HP at the crank: 505. My HP at the crank: probably just north of 700. Same chassis, suspension. I'll need a tranny and Z28 diff probably in the next year, and some aero some time. But I'm lighter, faster, WAY safer, and with a lot of features that will make my track time much more enjoyable and effective (cool suit, helmet fan, fantastic engine cooling setup, rearview monitor, etc).

I'm the one who keeps expanding the scope because I love this stuff and want to do it right. I've worked my ass off most of my life. Can't take it with you when you go. There comes a time in every man's life where he says, "Am I going to keep reading about awesome cars in magazines for the rest of my life or *&$# it, am I going to drive one?".

I'm driving one.

and that is my philosophy also...

Great build!

We'll be there for sure. Gonna have to get some T-shirts made up, though, to avoid confusion. The one for him will say "JusticePete" and maybe the other one for me can say "OtherPete"

JustPete gets all the credit for the rear facing camera. He is always looking for innovative solutions and this one works very well.

Will be on the track tomorrow with these - custom test pads from Wilwood with NASCAR compounds. Hopefully the tires won't rotate on the rims under hard braking (something that apparently happened in Z/28 prototype testing, but not with Wilwood pads). But at least I'll be able to see the guy behind me drive up my tailpipe through that wonderful video monitor
