My Abandoned Corvette ZR1 Gets A 1000HP ENGINE!

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ม.ค. 2023
  • I bought the CHEAPEST Corvette C6 ZR1 in the country! It's been sitting outside with no engine (and half it's body panels..) ever since...
    With 120,000 miles, this Vette has been through it! So when I pulled the heads to find the LS9 in need of some serious work, it may not have came as a surprise, but the wait we were about to be in for shut down the project for over a YEAR..
    Now? It's time to get this C6 ZR1 back on the road with a TON more power!
    Have a salvage Corvette rebuild story of your own? Maybe you're building your own 1000HP Z06 or ZR1? Put it in the comments!
