Way to go Melissa !! Very high quality pics.

Off topic but did you ever get those sticky tires so you could actually drive the beast ?

If so what did you go with and how well are they holding all that hp/tq ?

Thanks Doug!!

No tires yet, still have the wide body kit but have not got it painted or put on yet. Since I am going to be gone for several months for some officer training, it will probably be towards the end of the year before it gets done!

Well congrats on the magazine article, and good luck at training.

Looking fwd to an update on the car towards the end of the year. Should be bad *** with the wide kit. I had forgot all about that.

Congrats on the article and the car. You're definately going to need sticky tires with that kind of power.

One bit of advice though - don't let anyone at OCS or whatever commissioning source you go through see that article or you'll catch some heat for it saying you're already a First Lieutenant My OCS was 13 weeks run by Marine drill instructors and if they had seen that I would've gotten to do a lot more pushups than I already did

Nice work. However the lack of sticky tires must make it difficult to drive.

Hi meine96ws6!
Thank you sir for your service and a happy belated Memorial Day! Thank you for the compliments. After going to Texas for OBLC I will be stationed in my home state of SC. As far as the build, long story short.. my Procharged Corvette was totaled by Carolina Auto Masters. I knew I could not keep my replacement Vette stock for very long. I wanted to do a turbo Vette this time instead of supercharged, and one mod snowballed into another and well.. you see the result!

Very Nice Corvette and congratulations on the article!

I read it twice and was just amazed that it was so potent and looked stock!

If a Vette could be called a sleeper, this would be one! Once again, Great job!

By the way, Thanks for your service too!
