Gateway Classic Cars of Houston is proud to offer up this sleek
2003 Z06 CRC Corvette. Between the modern powertrain and classic
styling, this car is most certainly an eye catcher. Classic
Reflection Coachworks (CRC) Has been around since 1994 when they
started work on the first prototype using a C4 Vette as the base.
The concept sparked the interest of many people and several
inquiries came in on how to purchase the car. Later, CRC Began
using C5 vettes as the base and designed a new body to reflect the
1962 Corvette. Using cutting edge computer modeling software, the
company shaped the new bodies and began production. Under the
carbon fiber hood of this beast is supercharged LS6 V8 engine. The
engine in this car is very tame and driver friendly when you want
it to be, but also an absolute monster when called upon. Sending an
intoxicating note into the atmosphere is a custom exhaust system
featuring long tube headers, SLP catalytic converters, 3" SLP
midpipe, and corsa extreme mufflers. Sending all of that boosted
power to the rear end is a six speed manual transmission that
shifts firmly through the gears while still maintaining a somewhat
long throw for comortable, easy shifting. Moving outward, the
exterior of this car is what makes it such a unique and valuable
automobile. The CRC Carbon fiber conversion package alone costs
more than a brand new Corvette. And that price doesnt even include
the cost of the car used in the conversion, or extra options.
Covering the exterior of this beauty is bright red paint with black
accenting. Supporting each corner of this beauty are chrome alloy
wheels wrapped in high-performance Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires
(265 in the front, 295 in rear). This being a modern sportscar, of
course it has disc brakes all around for safetey and performance.
Upon entering this modern classic, the driver will be greeted by
classy tan leather seats that are in very good condition and
feature an embroidered CRC logo in the head rests. The door sills
also feature a CRC logo, this time in the form of a chrome trim
piece. The door panels and dash have also been redone to match the
seats. Overall, the leather in this car is much nicer than that of
stock C5 Vettes. Ensuring that the road noise and brutal Texas heat
stay out of the cabin is Dynamat installed throughout car. When it
comes time to listen to some driving music, the driver will
appreciate the very nice AM/FM radio/CD player. Navigation is also
embeded in the head unit to aid on those loger drives. Ths car
being converted from a C5 Z06, one can expect all of the amenities
found in one. These features include items like cruise control,
power seats, tilt/teloscoping wheel, anti theft system, and power
brakes/steering. Overall, the interior of this car is a much nicer
place to be than an original C5. For more information on this 2003
