Kirk
Weiderman like most of us grew up dreaming of the day when he would be
sitting behind the wheel of a shiny new Corvette. It took Kirk around
47 years but he realized his boyhood dream. His motto is "never give
up".
His
first foray into the wonderful world of Corvetting was in a 2015 Z51
Stingray. Kirk told us that he really wanted a Z06 but was talked into
the lesser model by the manager of the dealership. The salesman's pitch
was " the base model is all you will ever need". Wrong, Kirk was happy
at first but soon realized that he should not have settled. After about
a year of pondering his decision Kirk traded in the Z51 for a
Z06.
After
his new high performance acquisition Kirk was bitten by what we like to
call "the mod bug". Kirk brought his Z to a local custom shop and and
told the owner to concentrate on creating a show winning engine bay.
The customizing shops owner had over twenty years of experience in
transforming stock iron into show winning masterpieces.
Kirks
car has picked up trophies at every show the car has been entered in.
These includefirst place C7 modified, best paint, VP choice award, C7
best of class and second place C7 modified. That's an impressive run
for a newbie Corvette owner.
