Tom Byrne is building a Z06-like C6 convertible

[Motrv8d Steve]

I would love to be able to do what he does....
This is the "before" shot:


And these are the "during" shots






and these are the "after" shots... well, almost after... he's still got to put the new wheels and tires on it! Oh yeah, BTW, the planned mods include a Z06 nose, carbon fiber fenders, quarter panels, wheels and brakes with red 6 piston calipers up front and 4 piston calipers in the rear. An RK Sport hood will be required to clear a polished Magnuson supercharger and a set of Dynatech long tube headers will help exhaust gases escape into the atmosphere. These and a few other bolt-ons will help this car make close to 500 rear wheel horsepower.







the whole story is on his Web site:

Tom, if you're listening, I hate you! But only cuz you get to do what I can only dream about!

hell the "before" shot would be plenty good enough for me...
but a Z06 Roadster and faster than a "regular" Z06?

I remember spotting a C5 with Z06 rear brake ducts, I said "Check out that Z06," then I felt like an idiot when my eyes went up a few feet and saw the convertible top.

I've done that too, how many people make their C5 verts into Z06 imposters?

I for one have never seen one in my area
