Corvette guys, weight for chute?

[jjump59]

Building what I will call a max effort C6 for the b/gt class.  Got a date with chassis shop for cage and associated safety gear but I have no idea what final weight will be.  Would like like to have a good idea so I can order a chute so shop can install.  Anyone willing to tell me where they ended up on weight?

Build the chute for 5000 lbs for 250 mph

Call  Bob Stroud; he will give you a recommendation. Don't forget a launcher.

I have a military drag 'chute from an F4 (?) if you want to try it-- cheap.

It might make a good pit shade....

You're probably right. It's a ring slot 'chute; I don't remember its canopy diameter but it isn't real big. I didn't use it, I bought one from Bob Stroud instead.

Bob Stroud stands behind what he sells.  And if it doesn't turn out right, in one way or another, he'll fix it.

(I know this is hard to believe in this day and age.)
