This one-of-a-kind Show Winning Corvette was the August 2008 Corvette Enthusiast Cover Car and was also featured in the 2008 Corvettes @ Carlisle Chip’s Choice Display along with several other incredible “Vette-Rods”.
The foundation is a Tube frame from SRIII MotorSports. The DriveTrain consists of a 2002 Corvette Z06 LS6 Motor with new Heads, Cam, Stainless Works Headers, and a Magnuson Intercooled SuperCharger. As you can see, a little “Bling” was thrown in as well.
A Camaro T56 6 Speed with Hydraulic Clutch Conversion and Denny’s Driveshaft Heavy Duty Aluminum Shaft connect to a Dana 44 with new 3:90 Gears. C4 Corvette Suspension front and rear with QA-1 Coilovers provide the adjustable ride control.
The car rides like a slot car on rails. But also note that the suspension is fully tunable. The spring rates, ride height, rebound, and sway bars can all either be easily adjusted or swapped for stronger or lighter ones depending on taste.
The Hydroboost Brake System stops the car on a dime. The Rack and Pinion Steering is tight and smooth. The car has no squeeks or rattles whatsoever. The pulling power will slap you back in the seat if you want it to and with the 6-speed get you more then 25mpg.
