A friend of mine is transforming his C6 into one of L.G. Motorsports race cars.

He had L.G. Motorsports install a cam, intake, long tube headers and exhaust. They also tuned the computer and dynoed it at 470 hp.

The vertical doors and Z06 scoop were done at a local shop (Cornerstone Auto Body) as well as the custom paint.

It's a work in progress. Thought you might enjoy a look.

Guys, its a race car, not a show car. If he's a good enough driver, it will be so full of stickers the paint wont matter.

Is that a Z51? I don't see the cross drilled rotors. If it's not a Z51, he wont be able to win any races

Honestly, officer, I was heading to an emergency... If it comes with a matching jumpsuit and mask, I'm in!
