Re: Frank Parise\'s Comp Coupe delivery
Tony, thank you very much for taking the time to post these photos for me. I need to learn how to do this myself.
This is exactly how my Comp Coupe arrived. It obviously needs to be painted.
The front fascia is the same rubber piece that is used on the SRT-10. It is shiny black.
The front splitter, both side sills, rear wing, and rear diffuser are carbon fiber and look really sweet just as they come. There is really no need to even paint these pieces, although I'll be painting the side sills and rear wing.
The doors, engine hood, roof, rear close-out panel are a mixture of carbon fiber, glass, gel, nomex. kevlar, etc. They are grey in color and require the most amount of work in preparation for paint.
The rear close-out panel looks funky in the picture because the taillight and reverse light lenses are not installed (actually there aren't reverse tail lights, just a place to fit the lens cover). They come loose in a box and are installed with silicon after your paint job is complete.
The entire chassis from top to bottom and inside and out is painted a light/medium gray, similar to a Navy ship.
The interior looks like very serious business and includes nothing other than what is needed to race. It's very impressive.
The center console is carbon fiber and very impressive looking with several extra toggle switches available for power hookups. All toggle switches are labeled.
The steering wheel is a pop-off and the column is adjustable up and down.
The race seat is unique with large lateral head supports and it's fastened to the car better than any I have ever seen. It has a red snakehead on it, as does the gear shift knob and window net latch.
The dead pedal is adjustable as well as the other three pedals.
The roof duct is plumbed into two adjustable HVAC ducts installed on the inside roof of the car so that the airflow coming inside can be regulated in terms of volume and direction.
The fire bottle and car battery are fastened to the passenger footwell inside the car.
The fuel cell area (rear compartment) is entirely sealed and separated from the cockpit with a windowed heavy metal wall.
My hands are tired..will add more details later.

Re: Frank Parise\'s Comp Coupe delivery
Some more tidbits on the car...
Referring to the photos posted by Tony above.....
The two orange cannisters up front, one on each side, are Moton double adjustable shocks. The bump control is adjusted using a dial located on each of these cannisters. The rebound adjustment dial is located on the top of each shock in the wheel well. The rear shock cannisters are mounted in the top of each rear wheel well and are accessible from inside the fuel cell compartment.
The factory paints the inside of the headlight lenses black. There are no headlights installed on the car, however, the wiring leads are right there and, I understand, you can order operational headlights for the car. There are no fog lights or related openings in the front fascia.
The X-brace over the engine is removable when necessary. The engine hood comes off in one piece.
The "puke tank" mounted near the front right side of the radiator is for engine oil flyby.
There are two large brake ducts, one on each side, sitting on top of the front splitter. They are routed into some really trick carbon fiber inlets that are custom shaped and affixed to your front wheel assemblies to make maximum use of the air flow going to the brakes.
The rear license plate area is used as an outflow vent for the tranny and diff coolers, both of which are located directly behind this vent. The inflow vent is directly behind the bottom portion of the Lexan rear window on top of the rear deck, underneath the rear wing.
I think the wierd looking safety net on the right side of the driver's seat is an additional restraint for the driver's body parts in the event of an Earnhardt type of impact on the right side of the car.
The red electrical terminal mounted to the right hand top side of the tranny tunnel is for the fire system. The fire system is electrically operated rather than using a mechanical system with cables.
I've spent some time underneath the car and I have found factory seals everywhere including the oil pan, tranny, diff, shocks, valve covers. Dodge is obviously serious about keeping everything on the car in factory stock configuration so that the VRL GTC class represents a truly spec-car class.
That's all for now.

Unless they have changed their policy, you can only order the car in black, red, or white. With stripes, the factory paint option is approximately $7,000, depending on the color chosen.

Re: Frank Parise\'s Comp Coupe delivery
Congrats Frank. The car looks awesome.
I just received word today my Comp Coupe has begun the build process. They are now working on the frame and built-in lift system. I also gave them the go ahead on the pre delivery dyno break in on the engine. I'm looking forward to visiting CAAP and the CC Build facility.
