Gulf Livery Corvette C8
The Gulf Livery C8 Corvette started off as a used 2023 Corvette 3LT with 25,000 miles. Our main goal for this vehicle is to build a sports car that can do it all while still being reliable. There’s still a lot more we need to get done to the car but here’s everything we’ve done so far.
Suspension: KW V3 Coilover kit
KW Suspension adds that extra wanted confidence while driving. The fully adjustable coilovers allow you to adjust the ride height, dampers, and rebound to your exact driving preference. This will help the car in daily driving applications and even for track use.
Sway Bars: AFE Power Sway bars (Front and Rear)
Sway bars help control the amount of body roll in corners. When driving the car stock, the rear end wanted to slip out anytime you’d add to much gas, creating overstreer. In order to get rid of oversteer, we decided to stiffen up the front and rear of the car with stiffer and adjustable sway bars.
Exhaust: Fabspeed Chevrolet Corvette C8 Street Performance Package (Carbon Fiber Tips)
An exhaust system is used to get more out of your engine in sound and performance. The Fabspeed Street Performance Package replaces the headers, catalytic converters, and cat back system and with a high flow Indy car inspired exhaust system that sounds absolutely incredible.
Intake: Eventuri Carbon Fiber Intake
Intakes are used to allow clean air to enter the engine. This is used in all engine applications. The Eventuri intake adds up to 20% more airflow than stock and is fantastic for making more power. For all the car people out there, the Eventuri intake comes with a clear screen so anytime you open the trunk, you’ll be able to see the beautiful intake.
Harness Bar and Harnesses: Paragon Performance Harness Bar (White) and Sparco Harnesses (Red)
The CEO wanted this car to be able to be driven as a daily driver and a track car. Safety when driving is very important and when driving you want to be held in the seat and not have the car throw you around in the cockpit. The harnesses add an extra layer of safety when driving on the track and even on normal roads.
Tuning: Joetech
Tuning helps a car run more efficiently while also making more power. We wanted to build a fun car thats still easy to drive right when you get in it. That’s why we decided to keep the car naturally aspirated. The tune added 50 Hp and 45 LBS of torque. This helps the car run more efficiently while also giving you that extra bit of fun to spin the rear tires when you’d like.
What’s Left To Do
Body Kit: Sigala widebody RR Kit (Forged carbon Fiber)
A body kit can do a few things for your car. Fiberglass will add weight to your vehicle but also adds a different style and look. Carbon fiber adds the style and look but also reduces the weight. Forged carbon fiber adds all the same style and look as carbon fiber but it’s more elegant looking. Sigala’s widebody kit for the Corvette C8 turns the Corvette into an absolute spaceship, while also reducing the weight of the vehicle, making it even faster. Our main goal with the body kit is to keep the car full exposed forged carbon and add a small amount of color in the clear coat to make it look truly special.
Upholstery: Custom Leather Seats
This car will be a true One of One when it’s done and we just couldn’t keep the interior the same. ASM Upholstery will be helping us with fully customizing the seats. Please check out our Youtube Video when we went to ASM Upholstery for more information.
Wheels: Custom Wheels from Tunergoods Autospa
The Corvette will have two sets of wheels. A Custom set of three piece wheels with floating spokes for daily and show car and a forged monoblock wheel that has the same spoke layout for track use. Daily tires will be Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and track tires will be Michelin Cup 2.
Main Goal
Our main goal with this car when it’s all done is to take it to Sema in Las Vegas in November 2024. We’re trying to sell this beautiful 1 of 1 car with a very rare and hard to get liquor cart filled with the best whiskey’s and Tequilas. Included in this package deal you’ll get a his and hers custom 1 of 1 helmet with the purchase that also matches the car. If you’re asking is that all, nope not at all. The fully built Widebody and fully modified car will also come with 2 YEARS of BUMPER to BUMPER coverage, covering anything undercar, transmission, and engine related.
