Vehicle Description
For sheer enjoyable, high performance driving, it's hard to top
this 1994 Chevrolet Corvette Resto-Mod. Building upon an already
very able-bodied stock foundation with a great look to start, it
features a whole host of add-ons, backed by actual build receipts,
that combine to make it one serious rocket of a car that's as
impressive in terms of straight line acceleration as it is flying
through hairpin turns.
Aesthetically speaking, '94 was a good year for 'Vettes. While
still exhibiting the styling cues that made the model so unique
over the years, such as the long, sloping hood with hidden
headlights and the short rear end, there's a noticeable amount of
refinement added that makes it very distinct from some of the more
geometric-looking models that came before it. Decked out in a very
nice shade of deep metallic red that's ornamented by diagonal black
"rookie" stripes over the front tires, you can tell this car is
ready to rock! The one piece, removable Targa top is a great
feature - it's surprisingly lightweight and easy to install, yet
very effective in cutting down exterior noise when in place. In a
car as angular as this, issues of fitment would really stand out,
but take a lap around and you'll see smooth lines and
well-positioned panels. It's got just the stance you would want in
a car set up for uncompromising performance - low to the ground and
level.
The gray interior underscores that Corvettes were created with
performance in mind. The bucket seats have high backs and are
bolstered to keep the driver in place during sharp turns, and the
extensive array of instrumentation is all within easy reach. The
gauges themselves look great behind very clear lenses and the dash
pad above them still looks nice and straight, showing no splits.
This very year, Chevy saw fit to add a measure of safety for
passengers, as well, installing air bags on the right side to go
along with the one already in place for the driver. It's by no
means a spartan car, as it comes with a number of creature
comforts, including an AM/FM cassette system, cruise control, power
seats, power windows and locks, a tilt wheel, and a well-maintained
center console to provide some convenient storage space that's also
high enough to rest an elbow on during less demanding driving
conditions.
As far as performance components go, it's a pretty unbeatable
lineup we have here. Based on the already powerful LT1 engine, a
stroked 396 equipped with electronic fuel injection and AFR High
Flow heads sits under that long hood. Churning out 500 horsepower,
it starts right up and runs very strong-emitting a great exhaust
note through a set of long tube headers that transition into Power
Effect adjustable mufflers. The engine is matched up with a 6 speed
ZF transmission - a brand so respected for its power-handling
ability that it's standard equipment on quite a number of exotic,
performance-oriented nameplates. This ZF features two overdrive
gears, so the top end on this car is truly impressive. A fully
adjustable coil spring suspension makes navigating turns a blast
and when that inevitable time comes to stop, you've got four-wheel
ABS power disc brakes at the ready. This very inspired modification
of the already esteemed Corvette brand sits on a set of stylish,
black 17" Corvette wheels outfitted with Nitto tires.
