Corvettes of Dallas

Corvettes of Dallas is proud to show our latest C5 custom Z06 build.

The vehicle is a 2001 Z06 owned by Fast Eddy in Dallas, TX. We started the first phase of his customization a little over a 12 months ago, and have continued to add add add! The project started by installing a fully built LS7 engine with a small 150 shot courtesy of NX. We mated KOOKS long tube headers to the fresh LS7 along with a custom 3" ss exhaust.

Now for the exciting part... Phase II ... The real work starts....

The owner wanted a street/track worthy car with no Boundaries. We contacted TJ @ RPM TRANSMISSION to tell him what we needed. TJ came up with a bullet proof option that's not for the weak hearted! We decided to do something that's not done very often, THE 4L80E automatic conversion!!! We went from a 6 speed manual transmission and made it an AUTOMATIC. Remember, this is a Z06!!! Please be aware there is no manual or instruction book how to do this. Thankfully Sean Freese, our Performance Tech, was not afraid to tackle this huge modification to the Z06. Now for the Pictures - so can see how big this undertaking was - we have provided a step by step in pictures! Also, please make sure to watch the youtube.com video located at the bottom of the post.

The camera date is wrong, I saw this car in person the owner did have the biggest bank account in Dallas till he had that done.

We are great at PERFORMANCE but lousy at operating a digital camera.
I can assure you this is a recent build.
