Exterior

The PPG Jet Black paint job with premiere clear coat really sets this Corvette apart. This model looks fantastic from any angle, but it's custom jet-coated, polished stainless steel exhaust system makes driving behind it a pleasure: we imagine it sounds as good as it looks.

Brakes

Bringing everything to a brisk halt are Wilwood 14-inch cross-drilled and slotted brake rotors. There are 6-piston calipers at the front and 4-piston calipers at the rear, all running through a Wilwood master cylinder. The car has also been fitted with an E-Stopp electric emergency brake.

Performance Parts

To say this Vette is dripping in performance parts is an understatement. Helping the engine on its way to its 625 horsepower output is a forged rotating assembly, Holley Sniper intake, and Billet Specialties valve covers. Keeping everything in check through the bends is a RideTech fully adjustable coilover suspension system and a Tru-Turn system.
