- The supercharged V8 of 6.2 liters pump 550 hp.
- A personalized Widebod kit was added to the emblematic American sports car.
There seem to be two camps in the world of restaurants. Some hate them and feel nausea each time a classic car is changed, and others cannot have enough. This particular corvette is required to divide opinions because it is one of the most emblematic of all time; A Ray Sting from 1965.
The upgrades are quite extensive. Like the best restaurants, changes go far beyond a new engine. In this case, the construction is based on a new tubular chassis with components of C6 and C8 corvettes. It even has carbon ceramic brakes from a C8. Only the original department remains.

The power comes from the supercharged V8 6.2 liters of GM. This engine propelled the C6 Corvette ZR1, where it produced 638 hp and 604 lb-pi (819 nm) of torque. Mecum Auctions says that the supercharged V8 here is good for 550 hp, and it is coupled with a six -speed manual transmission. Stainless steel headers and personalized side execution exhausts are attached to the V8.
There is no word to know if this revised ray of Sting has been modernized with a kind of modern traction control system, but if this is not the case, a very prudent right foot will be necessary to deploy the whole power. The modernized power steering system will also help make the car more modern.
The other strengths include a personalized wide body kit with carbon fiber parts, a breathtaking cabin bathed in bright red leather on the seats, door panels and a dashboard, and a personalized central console. The manufacturer has also adapted a personalized audio system, not that it needs one with this thunderous supervision.
