Default Looking for feedback on some new DRM packages

Well, back by popular demand the DRM R packages are back. Please let me know if you guys would like more, less, or different. I will have final prices after we nail down the exact packages. Sorry no cars until after the 1st of the year. But after that, game time.

You can also see these packages on our website www.dougrippie.com


Doug Rippie MotorSports proudly presents conversion package for the C6 Corvette. The DRMC500/RSR has been the driving force of the Corvette aftermarket. The idea for these conversion packages is for a true multi-purpose car. Breed on the track and refined for the street. "Racecar Performance for the Street" has been DRM's slogan since 1991. These packages have been assembled on the wants and needs from customer feedback on the C500RSR, C500RS and the C5RS. Having a balanced car is very important, we understand that better then the average shop. Their is a long list of customers across the global with more trophies, thumbs up, high 5s, smiles, due to the sight, sound, and performance of our packages.

If you are the proud owner of a C6 with either the LS2 or LS3 engine, I invite you to look into our packages and find one that meets your goals and budget. If you don't own a car yet, we work closely with a dealership to get you into a new car. We can arrange door to door pickup and delivery. Customer pickup or drop off at our facility is also available.

IF you have some of the parts installed on your car already. That is ok, we can change up a few items here and there. We want you to have the car of your dreams and are willing to do what it takes to make that happen.


Doug Rippie MotorSport's C600/RSR package is not for the faint of heart. This package has been comprised for the hard core track guy. The DRM RSRs have put a place on the map in Corvette tuning. Were other cars start to give up, the RSRs will push past the barrier in performance. The RSRs have the power to go along with the level of handling, braking, and look. With either a Drysump LS7 or a 412 (418 LS3) engines to choose from, flat torque curves, good parts used throughout, engine dyno, chassis dyno and road testing. With the added power all RSR cars will get the full DRM cooling treatment that we have learned over the many years sprint and endurance racing. Aero packages are optional and suggested at this level of build. The RSR is the one stop conversion to a fast, fun, cool, well balanced, and with show stopping good looks.
