Corvette* Racecars
What can we say about the Corvette that hasn't already been said? Praised for the last 40 years for their power, performance and sound - not to mention their sexy good looks these all American cars are just about the most exciting automobiles you can strap yourself into and drive around a race track.
These are modern racecars! Their powertrain and suspension match those of racecars you see on TV! Imagine yourself piloting a V-8 powered, fiberglass - bodied, adrenaline-pumping rocket that look similar to the ones that made recent racing history. We use cars pictured throughout the website for our road circuit schools. These and our Cobras are the only cars we have and the only cars we use - unless of course you bring and use you own car in our class. If you choose to drive the Corvette - thats what you will drive!

Why these cars?
We decided we wanted something different than the rest, real race cars with international appeal, that great American V-8 rumble and unmatched power, handling and sex appeal.
In addition we looked at safety and didn't want inconveniences like open wheel formula Cars with tight cramped cockpits and we didn't want to ask our customer to crawl in and out of a stock car window all day. We wanted the best of fun, comfort, convenience and all around performance. Over the years we have run other cars and watched and studied other schools run theirs and made a very conscious choice. We wanted the best darn school cars available anywhere for you our customer. First we found the FFR Spec Racer and added a few of our modifications, we knew we had a racecar. Then we decided we needed another car for the Corvette/Chevy* crowd. We then built the late model Corvette* racecars. Our Corvettes are different than the others as they are stripped out, lightened and modified race ready Corvette racecars - not street cars. For your comfort we have left the climate control in the Corvettes.
Our car's cockpits are large, comfortable and easily accessible
and the wheels well covered under darn good-looking fenders.
Our cars are amongst the fastest and best handling school
cars presently available in North America. Inside the SCCA
safety approved roll cage-protected cockpit you will feel
totally comfortable while you are on the track. We offer you
a chance to enjoy a cars that most people only dream of driving.
Much more than just a dream car - but a car anyone would love
to pilot because of its unmatched performance, capabilities
and styling!
We do have automatic transmission cars available in Houston!
