Extreme Corvettes: Custom Builds That Are Both Crazy….and AWESOME!
We’ve all seen them – a custom-built sports car or off-road vehicle with a blower popping out of the hood, 60-inch wheels beneath a 15-inch lift, or a wide-ass backend that looks more at home on a dragstrip than the open road. People have been building their stock cars into custom-built racers, cruisers, mountain crawlers, and road warriors for generations. Now, more than at any other point in the history of the automobile, there is an abundance of bolt-on parts that can help transform (just about) any car from mild to INSANELY WILD. Drive down the road for even a few minutes, and you’ll likely pass a half dozen Jeep Wranglers that have been lifted, with wider wheels, custom grills, one-of-a-kind light packages, etc. Go to a local car show and you’ll find dozens (if not hundreds) of Mustangs with obnoxiously loud exhaust, custom ground effects and light kits, and so on.
But what about Corvettes? How often have you seen a Corvette that’s been dramatically transformed into something a little more extreme? Sure, we’ve all seen Corvettes with a built engine loaded down with an oversized cam, supercharger(s), maybe even full-blown internals that were engineered to bolster horsepower into the lower stratosphere. But how many of you have seen a Corvette that is as wild in its appearance as it is in its under-hood performance?
Many Corvette purists will argue that “mutilating” a Corvette’s appearance is borderline sacrilegious. Sure, you’ll find plenty of examples out there that have some sort of custom wheels, maybe a widebody kit, chrome accents, racing stripes, and so on…but it is far less common to find a Corvette that has been transformed beyond these mild modifications.
That’s what we’re here to share….some of the most “extreme” Corvettes we’ve seen on the road today! And while we’re certain that some here will be mortified by our findings, we suspect a great many more will be blown away by all the AWESOMENESS that is about to follow.
