Chevy’s new 670-hp Z06 ability be the big draw for Corvette admirers visiting this year’s SEMA show, but it’s in austere crisis of actuality outshone by this absurd C1, one of a brace produced for the event.
Created by Dave Kindig, the car nut abaft Kindig-It Design and the host of Motor Trend’s Bitchin’ Rides, the twins, one silver, one white, affirmation to be 1953 C1 Corvettes, but are unrecognizable, at atomic in engineering terms, from the banal C1 your Chevy banker would accept awash 68 years ago.
Instead of a shonky fibreglass anatomy they affection shells fabricated from carbon fibre, and while we haven’t apparent them in person, advised on these pictures the accomplishment is ablaze years above alike the best adequate aboriginal car. The characteristic restomod appearance was advised by Kindig but accomplished by Doug’s Performance Corvettes.

Those huge auto don’t aloof attending good, but additionally advice accord the C1 abundant brand to advice accouter the monster Lingenfelter-tuned 7-liter V8 beneath the hood. Fitted with Borla 8 Stack injection, the motor accelerate a austere 673 hp and 618 lb-ft of torque to the rear auto via a GM Performance 4L80E automated transmission.
That’s a fair advance on the aged 150 hp buyers of the aboriginal got from its 235 cu-in. (3.9-liter) beeline six, and alike if Kindig’s C1 can’t absolutely accumulate clip with a new Z06, you can bet that it cuts the banal C1’s apathetic 11.5-second 0-60 mph time in two, and again some. Power like that would be alarming if you had to await on the age-old aboriginal ’53 car’s boom brakes at the end of a straight, but this brace appearance a Wilwood disc setup.
We’ve consistently begin the absolutely aboriginal C1s affectionate of dorky, but with these mods, we can aback see the appeal.
