1994 DRM480, 44,000 miles, 486hp, over 480fpt. The entire car was built by Doug Rippie Motorsportsin Minnesota. ZR1 brakes, suspension, wheels, grand sport fender flares, road race style 6pt roll bar. Simpson harnesses. Motor is naturally aspirated 383ci. With every thing you can do to an LT1. The car was test run at the track when built but I have never had it there, 11.70 on a drag radial, over 200mph top end. I have also installed the 1996 side skirts behind the front tires, so it looks like a 1996. black on black with black removable top

All of these figures do not include installation, when all was said and done the car had more than 30 thousand dollars of work done to it.

The entire car was built by DRM. The motor kit is called the DRM480. The cam is a big solid roller, but it will idle in 95 degree weather with the AC on. It also has 373 gears. But all the info is on the DRM page at http://www.dougrippiemotorsports.com. Some of the info like for the roll bar, suspension, rear, brakes my be hard to find since DRM in more focused on the C5 now. But I have all the receipts. The whole car was shipped to DRM and came back as you see it. The motor upgrades alone back then cost like 15,000. The car makes 486hp at the crank and 480+fpt. . Trust me this thing is top of the line. Only Mobil one, and redline lubricants everywhere. of course it is a 6 speed.

Full length custom headers, flowmaster exhaust, no converters, but car is set up so you can just bolt them back in for an emissions test. converters come with the car. The car runs a few degrees hotter with the converters in but you just take them out as soon as you get it done.

It has some really big fuel injectors, but it still gets 20 to 25 highway mpg.
I have had no problems with this car what so ever, DRM is in my opinion the best Corvette builder in the country, just check out his website for more info. Also feel free to contact Peter Silkilo at DRM for verification of what the car has. This car is very fast, faster than a viper, C5, ZR1, or Z06. Unless it is another DRM car it has no chance. I have never taken the car to the track. This car is only my weekend toy. I rarely drive it and am tired of seeing it sit in my garage. I am selling it because I am going over sees for a few years and I don’t want it sitting
