My 700hp custom Corvette and first Rolex 1680 Submariner 77-78 production.

I guess it's only fair to show the old car in it's full glory, 1998 Corvette in Artic White over custom leather Torch Red interior the way a proper Corvette is supposed to be.

Nice

Nice to see the mileage on the car. At least it's not sitting in the garage like my dad's vette.

This one is my daily driver, I have another that is a garage queen though. At least I'm down to two Vettes and not trying to keep 3 or more licensed and registered w/insurance anymore, 2 is just about the limit nowadays.

Rickey, awesome

How did you modify it to get 700 hp?

I took the heads and had some porting and milling done to them, at the same time I installed a 228R cam. Of course there is Long tube headers and no mufflers. I R&R'd the intake by installing a better LS6 intake with ported throttle body. Then installed larger 60# injectors and bigger volume fuel pump to support the Supercharger (V3 Si unit) and then tuned by KP Racing in Houston. Now I also installed heavier duty powertrain to handle the power. The car has newer 2012 C6 Z06 suspension.

It's a fun little coupe that surprises many who want to show me what their car can do to this older C5.

Nice watch and car Rickey. One of my neighbors just bought a deuce and a half M35 on freaking eBay. What was he thinking?
