There isn’t one yet. Protoform said awhile back they took the measurements of it. They did just release a new body. But it’s an Italian Supercar. Not a corvette

Eric had one on his car during practice at the Full Throttle Champs down in DFW this weekend. It looks production ready, but all he would say is 'soon'. He did not run it in qualifying as it is not USGT legal yet.

Hope it has rear stability. That was the main issue with the previous models.

I had the pleasure of seeing the C8 in person this past weekend at the Full Throttle Champs. It’s looks even better in person.

It looked great as Eric wheeled it around the track and he really liked how it handled at our track.

I know I’ll be getting one along with a Vittoria!

Does anyone know what the Exotek J Zero is supposed to be based on? Is it even based on a real car?

I wonder how long the J Zero will stay on the approved list. The Furai was removed due to being a concept car and the McAllister Daytona Prototypes were removed too. That Jaguar is a concept hybrid car.
