LS-Powered C2 Corvette is a Real Smokeshow
Pro Touring 1964 Corvette build is meant to lay down rubber.
Awe-Inspiring
There isn't really a shortage of awe-inspiring C2 Corvette restomods out there. But this one is among the most noteworthy for many reasons. This particular Pro Touring build belongs to "Fast Lane" Jane, a racing driver and instructor, who's no stranger to extremely powerful machines. As you'd expect, this is no showpiece. This C2 is built to be driven hard.

Smoke Show
Shawn from Autotopia LA recently got to check out Jane's C2 Corvette. He even got to ride shotgun while she started a smoke cloud doing donuts. The car's power is on display in the video. As most would have likely gathered by now, this '64 'Vette is far from stock.
LS3 Power
Sitting neatly under the hood of Fast Lane Jane's pro tourer is GM's trusty LS3 V8 motor. The block is enhanced with performance upgrades, bringing the total output to 596 horsepower and 610 lb-ft of torque. That is thanks in no small part to a 416 cubic inch Scat forged stroker kit.
Putting the Power Down
The engine is mated to a Tremec T56 transmission with 3.73 ration gears. The vehicle's low 3,000-pound curb weight goes hand-in-hand with the unbelievable amount of torque at the wheels. This means spinning those extra-wide tires comes with ease. Speaking of the rolling stock, this C2 rides on 18-inch wheels and huge 14-inch brake rotors.
Modern Suspension
The suspension is a thing of beauty as well. Here, a customized C4 Corvette suspension system is used, with transverse-mounted Ridetech shock absorbers.
