From a price / performance perspective, I think it's very hard to beat the LMPC class in ALMS. Carbon tub, nearly as much downforce as the LMP cars, Corvette engine that will go a whole season on one rebuild, costs in the $350k range. Definitely faster than a Rolex car on anything but an oval, for a lot less.

Those cars have always made me nervous with regard to how the doors open; if you were in a wreck and up against a barrier, or upside down, etc. you might not be able to get out. I race an open top car and feel much safer knowing I can get out even if I'm upside down (roll hoop on top).

Friend of mine has a Riley DP for club racing with a Corvette engine; thing is a beast, this one should be awesome with Chevy backing it.

Thanks guys; will give that a try.

Mine are pretty well covered in exhaust deposits; what product should I use on them to get them back to shiny?

Junkman videos are how I found the site and products; hope they hook him up because I just spent $800 in the past two days getting all the stuff I need to do this thing right lol.

So you're saying I should take these back to the store?

Hard to take a good pic of it but here goes: That's the panel immediately behind the front wheel. The stuff on the panel is mostly road tar and other sticky nasty stuff that gets kicked up. I feel like I'd have to press pretty hard to get it off but was not sure if there's an easier way to get it off, or if I'm going to have to press hard either way, at which step do you do that.

AJ, just wanted to first say thanks for all your great info; I found some posts of yours in a Viper forum, watched a lot of the videos, just ordered your namesake Adams bundle and hope to get down to some detailing soon. I have a black chevy pickup that's not in the greatest shape that I plan to use for learning before I touch the 'nice' cars. Anyway, I've always used the two bucket wash technique with grit guards, but the truck probably gets washed twice a year at most. As a result, it has a lot of nasty crud built up on the lower front quarters of each front door. Even after washing, little bits of whatever are still there. I haven't done the foam pre-wash before, I ordered the gun and will do what you do in your video for that before the next wash, but I'm wondering where the line is before how much pressure you can use while washing to get some material off versus moving on to clay bar with the risk of it marring the paint? In your video with the clay it looks like you use a fair amount of pressure; I'm afraid with the kind of gunk on my paint that could easily put deep scratches in there; I feel like I have to get that stuff off somehow first, but maybe I'm just naive from having never used clay before?
