990-mile Continuation Grand Sport Corvette 640hp LT4 V8 6-speed A/C ///
Officially known as Superformance CGS 0017, this slick Corvette is the beneficiary of a recent, ground-up build that combined a roster of top notch components with an acute sense of quality. Thanks to Superformance's precise modern production molds, the car's lightweight body received a full anointing of first-generation Grand Sport character that oozes primal, mesomorphic appeal. And that character manifests through Jet Black PPG two-stage that's been fully ceramic coated. Under the billet-trimmed hood you'll find GM's latest and greatest LT4: a supercharged, all-aluminum marvel that twists stout 10 to 1 compression into 650 horsepower and 650 lb./ft. of tire-shredding torque! Park this Chevy on a lift and you'll find a sturdy Superformance tube chassis that, like the car's body, is built as an exact continuation of Chevrolet's five original Grand Sports. A tough Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed twists torque to a cooled, era-correct differential that's finished with an era-correct locker. That first-class drivetrain rolls on a fully independent suspension, which follows modern coil-overs with fresh Bilstein shocks. Turning is a cinch thanks to power rack-and-pinion steering. Smooth and solid stops are provided by a quartet of power-assisted discs. And power flows through Pin Drive, Halibrand-style wheels, which spin Nitto NT555 Extreme radials. Between the doors, high-back buckets sport taut leather hides. In front of those seats, a leather-wrapped dash hangs Classic Instruments telemetry next to Vintage Air conditioning and crisp Pioneer audio. A short shifter sails plush carpet. And the driver spins an attractive GT Retro steering wheel around a modern, tilting column. Lust worthy, athletic and ready to rule Main Street, this impressive Corvette is an excellent combination of classic looks and incredible performance.
