Default Top Tuner Chevrolet Corvette and Cruze introduced at the 2011 CIAS

ETC Enterprises - Elite Tuners of Canada debuts two new projects for 2011, the Top Tuner Chevrolet Corvette and Cruze. The two Top Tuner cars will make its first appearance at the 2011 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Canada.

The Top Tuner Chevrolet Corvette is the team’s 5th project car with General Motors Canada. Team ETC took a stock Corvette C6 and in 4 short months, it was completely transformed into a hyper performance machine.

Along with the Corvette, the team’s 5.5 build was the Top Tuner Chevrolet Cruze. The Cruze showcases powerful modifications that can be done to a compact sedan.

The Corvette build was focused on both track performance and unique design. Under the hood, the new LSX 376 Crate Motor from GM Performance and Pro Charger F1R puts out 920 WHP and 700 Torque. The exterior of the Corvette is fitted with a custom wide body and APR Performance carbon fiber accents and spoiler. The body work is once again finished by Serge Leger with a highly unique Gold Rush paint, a specialized multi-coat candy color.

The Corvette runs on custom race suspension provided by Standard Suspension, custom iForged Legacy V2 wheels (20 X 10 Front, 21 X 13 Rear), and wrapped in ultra wide Pirelli 285/25/20 front and 375/20/21 rear. Stopping power is provided by Baer Perofrmance Big Brake System, and exhaust is a custom system by MBRP. The interior is structured with a custom roll cage, STACK system installment, and Pioneer electronic sound system.

ETC turned the Cruze sedan into a sporty and aggressive tuner. The car runs 250 WHP and 150 Torque, turbocharged with a GTK 350 Custom Turbo System from Turbonetics. The Cruze is fitted with a set of custom body kits and carbon fiber hood and trunk by Viniati. To finish off the dynamic body work, Serge Leger of Xtreme Motorsports gave the car a custom Candy Flip Orange paint with two tone matte grey stripe.

Underneath the car, the Cruze runs on lowered suspensions, custom wheels provided by Forgestar (F14 20 X 8), wrapped in Pirelli 245/30ZR20 (90Y) XL Nero's, and custom exhaust system. Inside the car, the entire interior was redone with custom accents, Autometer Gauges, and orange upholstery to match the exterior. The interior is finished with a 3000 Watt eletronic sound system by Pioneer.

The Cruze is a decent looking car but with 150 lbs of torque I'll keep my 385 lbs of torque V8.
