Extreme Z51
Kevin
Lowe's 2006 velocity yellow C6 is an amazing example of what can happen
if you get bitten by the Corvette modification bug. In this case the
mod bug has gone wild. What is really amazing is that Kevin
and his son in law did all the work on the 06 themselves. The result is
an outstanding street and show machine that these two Oklahoma boy's
can be proud of.
The C6 started life as a run of the mill
coupe and was transformed into a ZR1 clone using a set of Extreme front and rear
panels with an extra 1.5" inches of fender flare. The wide flares give
the C6 a very aggressive stance and allow for the addition of some
serious rubber. A set of Nutek Classic 305 Custom wheels rear
20x13, front 19x10 are shod with Nitto Invo rear 345/25/20, front
285/30/19 rubber.
Other exterior mods include the addition of side
skirts, a Cianci ZR1 front splitter, a ZR1 spoiler and a radical vented
hood. LED lighting resides in all the exterior factory lenses. A
special PPG velocity yellow coat of paint really ties this super car
together.
Under
the hood resides a mildly warmed over LS2 small block. Some of the
engine mods include a set of OBX headers a Vararam Intake with high
flow coupler, and an endless array of polished accessory parts and
stainless braided lines.
Kevin opted for the painted under hood
look. Painted parts include: Air intake, Intake manifold,
Fuse cover, Windshield washer reservoir, Radiator cover, Brake
reservoir, Power Steering reservoir, Fuel Rail Covers, Radiator
reservoir, Hood hinges, Inner fender wheels, Oil dip stick, Radiator
shroud, Brake booster, and Hood shocks.
The
interior of the C6 includes Lloyd ultimate floor mats w/"Jake" emblem,
embossed C6 vette flag roof linear a aluminum
gas & dead pedal set. Custom lighting effects really set the car
apart at night. Blue LED's have replaced almost every interior bulb on
the car. These include special super bright foot
well door red reflector lights. To further spice up the
interior an ergo "D" style steering wheel, center console, ebrake boot handle, shift
boot and door arm pad from from Down South Vettes were added.
Custom
painted interior parts include radio bezel, gauge rings, dash door trim
parts, air conditioner vent surrounds, steering wheel, hatch panel and
sun visor. A custom Alpine 500 watt stereo system bangs out the tunes
in good order.
The logo on the tags say "Born in the USA" this all American rendition of America's only sports car does it all.
