Vehicle Description
There are two guaranteed ways to stop traffic with a classic
Corvette. You can take the traditional path and buy a highly
optioned original car that's fit for a plastic bubble. Or, you can
pick up an old road warrior, grab a bunch of vendor catalogs and
build the nastiest show car your money can buy! Take this pro
street Sting Ray for example. Combining a stretched body with a fun
4-speed and 632 cubic inches of supercharged Dart big block, this
1,200 horsepower coupe was made to prowl the pavement and dominate
the concours! And if you've always wanted to build a classic that
makes big power, possesses unbeatable aesthetics and oozes timeless
Americana, it's your exclusive opportunity to save years of stress
and bundles of cash. After all, why postpone joy? Call your friends
at RK Motors Charlotte and become the proud new owner of a national
award-winning C2!
BODYWORK/TRIM
If your goal is to build a world-class custom, the
second-generation Corvette is a great place to start. This
classic's professional build, performed by Torrelli Pro Cars Inc.
of Lockport, New York, took the aggressive angles of a 1964 coupe
and stretched them into an acute jaw-dropper that commands major
respect. "Stretched?", you ask. Yes, during its ground-up
restoration, the car was stretched seven inches up front and five
inches out back. Naturally, that newly proportioned body was
stripped bare and coated in deep PPG black pigment. And that skin,
glossy 2-stage that shows well from all angles, is accented by
subtle modifications that are both tasteful and timeless.
At the front of the car, a mirrored bumper cages a fresh stainless
grille between bullet-style marker lamps. Above that grille, a
shaved header leads a custom, electronically actuated hood, which
shades a filled, wiperless cowl. At the sides of that hood, a
monochromatic profile centers shaved emblems, shaved door handles,
shaved lock cylinders and filled fender gills between custom
mirrors and custom exhaust shields. At the top of those doors,
clean glass, devoid of factory vent windows, seats factory tint and
polished frames around filled sail panel vents. And at the back of
the car, a shaved decklid splits the difference between polished
bumpers, a polished tag bracket, bright taillights and an ornate
fuel filler.
ENGINE
Okay, forget about the car's glorious, front-heavy aesthetics for a
second and we'll play the numbers game. As it sits, this Corvette's
supercharged Dart Big M V8 is good for about one horsepower per
cubic inch. That means 600 horsepower of raw motor. The car's first
shot of nitrous, sprayed courtesy of Nitrous Express Shark nozzles,
adds an even 300 horsepower. And, if you're feeling REALLY frisky,
the car's second stage of nitrous doubles that 300. So, when this
monster is snorting a perfect mixture of air and laughing gas
though its massive 4.600 cylinders, you're galloping down the
blacktop with the force of 1,200 horsepower! At the top of the 632
cubic inch mill, polished K&N filters, positioned higher than
the car's roofline, funnel fresh wind in to 1,195 cfm King Demon
carburetors. Those stainless-trimmed pots ride a Hampton 14-71
blower, which sits pretty on a custom sheetmetal intake that was
fabricated by Hogan's Racing Manifolds. That intake feeds polished
Dart 410 Big M heads, which hide T&D 3102 rocker assemblies
under polished valve covers. At the back of those heads, MSD crank
trigger ignition utilizes a custom-grind Bullet Racing cam to
sequence spark through thick MSD plug wires. Those wires fire a
4.750 stroke, which comes courtesy of a Lunati Pro Series crank,
Eagle connecting rods and 8 to 1 JE blower pistons. Those pistons
fill custom Torrelli headers, which jettison spent gases in to
throaty side-exit exhaust. And in front of those headers, a custom
Ron Davis radiator keeps everything cool with the help of a big
puller fan. Naturally, the fully sorted beast looks great set in a
spotless engine bay where every surface is completely painted,
polished or powder-coated. Niceties such as trick dipsticks, billet
pulleys, Moroso breathers and braided Russell hoses ensure this
show worthy Chevy has the mechanical ability to back its great
looks. And, in case you're wondering, the car's Nitrous Express kit
is tunable from 200 to 600 horsepower.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Look under this C2 and you'll find a powder-coated 4130 chromoly
tube chassis that was custom-fabricated by Torrelli Pro Cars Inc.
At the center of those bones, a Lenco ST1200 4-speed wraps a
Lakewood blowproof bellhousing around a hydraulic throw out bearing
and a McLeod Borg and Beck 3-finger dual-disc clutch. That
transmission twists a Mark Williams driveshaft, which spins an
aluminum Mark Williams third member that hides 3.50 gears and
35-spline axles in a custom Torrelli housing. That ceramic-coated
pumpkin pushes a custom 4-link that's finished with Aldan American
coil-overs. That ceramic-coated rear-half is led by a Heidts
Superide front-clip, which sandwiches Chassisworks rack-and-pinion
steering between polished control arms and two more Aldan
coil-overs. Stops are provided by 4-piston Wilwood Dynalite
calipers, which squeeze a quartet of vented rotors. The soundtrack
thunders through polished, 4-inch oval pipes and polished SpinTech
mufflers. Rolling stock is equally impressive, as 15x6 and 15x15
Budnik LZ5s spin 26x7.50 Mickey Thompson Sportsmans in front of
33x19.50 Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pros. And everything, from the
car's polished oil pan and polished stainless fluid lines to its
Optima battery and custom, 22-gallon Mark Williams fuel tank,
appears to be restoration-fresh.
INTERIOR
As expected, the plush leather interior hiding behind this Chevy's
lightweight fiberglass doors is much more substantial than the
'bare bones' furnishings of average drag strip skippers. A custom,
leather-wrapped roll cage frames tall buckets that are dressed in
sturdy R.J.S. racing harnesses. In front of those seats, a custom,
leather-wrapped dash plants fresh Painless Wiring behind polished
accent panels and a full suite of Auto Meter Carbon Fiber
Ultra-Lite telemetry. At the base of that dash, four Lenco shifters
surf a leather-wrapped tunnel that's bordered by clean carpet and
color-keyed floor mats. At the sides of those mats, leather door
panels front power windows and power door locks. Polished nitrous
tanks reflect a leather headliner. And in front of the driver, a
polished Budnik steering wheel laps a polished, tilting column.
