Vehicle Overview

This is my 1996 Z51+EPP1 C4 Corvette, it is currently undergoing heart surgery (aka building the bottom end), and will soon be on the road again with flex fuel capabilities. It's top speed is currently unknown, but it has gone at least 167mph so far and will hopefully break the 300kph barrier then the 200mph barrier soon. Also, is being procharged with a D1SC ProCharger and AFR heads.

Future Plans

After the bottom end is done, it will have its top end done with the main features being the Holley DIS system, a custom cam, and AFR heads. Next, will be a D1SC ProCharger. Soon after, the front wheels and tires will be changed out, American Racing Headers' long tubes will be put in, Borla mufflers will be installed, and most likely a switch over to a carbon fiber drive shaft and half shafts. This car is being built to compete in Bradenton Motorsports Park's Street Car Shootout as well as be a beast on the street.
