67 ZR-1 C-6 Vette by Modern Muscle
 

Hi Guys,

I wanted to share our next big project. As many of you know last year, we launched a new car line called Modern Muscle with three models: 69 camaro, 70-71 cuda, and 69-70 Mustang Fastback.

Then we signed a licensing agreement with Mr. Norm for all of our mopars so we have a void in our Modern Muscle Line.

We are proud to announce that we are adding 63-67 corvettes to the line-up. These cars will be C-4, C-5, or C-6 based builds depending on our client's preferences.

Our prototype #001 car will be a completely C-6 based LS-9 1967 corvette coupe. We are using a brand new LS-9 engine from GM Performance Parts & all C-6 vette components. I am sharing some pictures of the progress we have made already. I will continue to add pictures along the way. We will be unveiling this car at SEMA 2009.

Thanks

A coup! I LOVE the Mid year Coups. Can wait to watch this one:hail:

Nice. :thumbsup:

cool project Mike! :thumbsup:

What a cool build!! Looking forward to seeing this one come together. :thumbsup:

thats going to be a sweet ride what do you guys think the weight of the car will be also the power of that ls9:bow:

We think it should come in around 3000 lbs and we plan to run one size smaller pulley so power should be around 700 HP. It will be controlled by a FAST computer system.

We are hoping Optima does the street car shootout again because we would love to test it out right after SEMA. Maybe I could borrow Dave and Mary from Steve to drive it for us next year????

Thanks for all interest already,
Mike

Sweet project! Too bad you can't get a little more dish on the rear wheel though.

Way cool project.....:thumbsup:

Yes, that would look better but the whole idea is to replicate the engineering & look of ZR-1 vette. There is give and take on any project. You lose alittle look but gain better performance. We really want this to drive just like a new ZR-1 vette. I have read in Car and Driver or Motor Trend where they are calling the vette a "hyper car" & Ferrari & Lambo owners shouldn't even try..... That is a pretty strong statement from a major magazine.
