The package, which takes about three weeks to install, including the bodywork, the painting, and all the other various pieces, costs $32,000. The GTR comes with a cat-back exhaust system, GTR-embroidered seats, a dash plaque, and custom valve covers. Nowicki installs stiffer anti-roll bars front and rear. To compensate for the increased lateral traction that the wider tires provide we measured 0.96 g, 0.06 better than stock. (Later GTRs will use 19- inch rear wheels.) Instead of using the Goodyear run-flat tires, the GTR uses Michelin Pilot SXs. What the added six inches in the rear and three inches up front do is provide more room for bigger tires. The bodywork gives the Corvette something we never thought it needed - a wider stance. Only the hood, the roof, and the rear deck remain stock. Nowicki was trying for a more aggressive-looking Corvette when he lopped clay onto an existing C5 and sculpted the car to his liking. Nowicki prefers to start with Corvettes equipped with the Z51 performance suspension. The wild-looking body transforms any C5 coupe, convertible, or hardtop into a Corvette GTR. Specter mostly does contract design work and builds show cars for the Big Three, The Corvette GTR is its first venture in the aftermarket-enhance-ment business. In 1992, he parted company with General Motors to concentrate on Specter Werkes/Sports, a company he founded in 1990. In 1991, he made the clay model for Oldsmobile's Achieva IMSA GTU race car. Nowicki, 31, was graduated from Central Michigan University in 1989 and began working for GM's design staff the following year. The Corvette GTR is the result of Specter owner Jeff Nowicki's background as a car designer and weekend racer. And recently, we sampled the Corvette GTR, a product of Specter Werkes/Sports of Troy, Michigan, a design and engineering shop. To date, we've sampled three tuner-modified C5s.ДЇirst, we tested John Lingenfelter's Corvette with a stroked LS1 V-8. Just as brisk is the pace that aftermarket companies are modifying these Corvettes. If you can donate a buck or two, I would appreciate it.Since its introduction for 1997, the C5 Chevrolet Corvette has been selling at a brisk pace. These skins took about a week for me to make, including tons of research, and lots of long late hours in Photoshop and Content Manager. Custom suits, gloves and helmets for the drivers.

Really the only issues are the IMSA logo on the nose canвЂ™t be added because of the mapping, thereвЂ™s an extra arrow on the front vent pointing to the tow ring on the passenger side, and nothing on the drivers side due to reflected mapping, and I canвЂ™t add вЂњRacingвЂќ to the rear (again, due to the mapping). These skins arenвЂ™t perfect due to the strange mapping of the body in some places. The Corvette C8.R numbers 03 and 04 from the 2020 Daytona 24h race.
