Out of Proportion: Alex Staidle Draws Shopify's Race Car
Passing the Test
by Kris Clewell -
Pete Boccarossa has a test. Walk away from the car, then turn around. If you look back, it’s yours. A brand new Corvette failed it, and he got rid of it. His Renault Clio V6s still pass. Renault built them by gutting a little front-drive hatchback and turning a V6 sideways where the back seat used to be. Pete has three, a Trophy race car among them.
Behind Bocca Motors in Bethel, Connecticut, there’s a parking lot he calls the proving ground. The Clios go out there on slicks. “It’s almost like playing go karts, but you get to sit down in a real car,” Pete says.
