Would love to try a C8
Yes the c6 zo6 is an absolute beast! A buddy had one that had heads/cam/intake done. Hardest pulling n/a car I have ever been in!

Dad and I conceptualized this 1957 Corvette back in 1991 (One of, if not the first Restomod) and then set out to have a Master-Fabricator make it a reality. SRIII Motorsports did the build.

The first full round tubular frame made by SRIII Motorsports (he started a company based on our idea), C4 Suspension, full functional ABS, one-off hand formed stainless side coves and scoops, Lingenfelter tuned LT5 Engine and drivetrain (1990 ZR1 Corvette).

This car was scary fast even by today's standards and handled like nothing I have ever driven since. Sold at Auction in 2019.

I love that car! I always wanted to do a Vette resto-mod based on a 56 - 62 model. But, finding a decent model to use as a starting point is quite expensive or is missing a lot of essential trim.

Here's her 2015 convertible C7 Z51 manual we ordered. It's been a good car 98xx miles. We've road tripped 3 times so far. Is it the best ever? Well it's the best ever Corvette we'll probably have. Pretty sure she never sell or trade it.

I had a C5 Z/06 with a built 383 and all the supporting mods. Fully forged rotating assembly, cammed to the moon, wicked fast. Unfortunately it stank because the cats had been removed and you would get cam surge driving normally down the street, which was tough to do. Got rid of it because it just wasn’t very streetable, but stupid fun to attack some curves.
