Default Cool Shop, Cool Cars

Hello. I usually do not post a whole lot but I wanted to share some cool pics from one of my friends. My friend Kushan owns a shop here in San Diego and dabbles with Corvettes and F-Bodies. Check 'em out:

Kushan's Ride. I managed to get this shot as I was leaving his shop. He is gonna kill me.


One of Kushan's customers. Yes that wing is functional.


This is a P. Miller Corvette which is having some warranty work done. There was heavy drivetrain work being done on the car.


The three amigos. The middle Vette is supercharged.


Carnage. Unfortunately Kushan gets a lot work from customers who have had inferior work done on their cars from other shops. I believe that the previous shop told this client "You are good to go"...




I hope you enjoy the pics.

What is the story on the last two pics? Obviously the ARP head studs indicates the motor was making a little more power than stock

My understanding is that there was a tuning issue which caused the carnage. The car had a supercharger too.

I don't know what is up with those wings? I personally don't think a corvette should have a wing. A mini spoiler that is built in, but a WING ?? Other then not liking the wings, the pics were sweet. Very high quality. Thanks for sharing.

Your friend should become a sponsor and then you could mention the name of his shop.

The 3 amigos pic explains an appropriate spoiler IMO.

Yeah,those wings look like something that you would find on a ricer and not on a Corvette.

Wings are OK as long as the car is a track car IMO.
