This Four Wheeled Dream Hits The Pavement with 840 Horsepower

When traveling the road of life, we often put our four wheeled dreams aside for the sake of our loved ones until the time comes that we can turn our fantasies into rolling realities.  Sid Lloyd, one of the lucky few, recently turned his fantasy into a reality when he acquired a 2002 Z06 Corvette.

He planned to build a Vette that would maintain an overall stock appearance, while being able to run hard on both the street and track. Having a few builds under his belt, and an eye for quality and attention for detail, Lloyd enlisted American Intense Racing to assist in creating his vision.  

The 2002 Z06, came equipped with a healthy LS6 V8, but it just wasn’t enough. Lloyd added a Snow Performance Stage 2 Boost Cooler, along with a rear-mounted 78mm turbo, a 38mm tial waste gate, and a 50mm tail blow-off valve. A three-inch custom exhaust system was fabricated from the manifold to the tail pipes, improving both power to the pavement and exhaust note. A heat exchanger was put in place along with twin seven-inch fans and a Fast fuel rail kit supported by 89-pound injectors. All of the improvements increased horsepower to an impressive 840 with 780 lb/ft at the rear wheels, when running a full 16-pounds of boost.

Inside lies a dual-gauge A-pillar mount containing an AEM gauges for air/fuel ratio and a boost gauge. The Z06 is currently rolling on Mickey Thompson street E/Ts, while the remainder of the exterior has been kept stock, creating a sleeper on both the street and track.  This is our latest Corvette, brought to us by our friends at Rate My Ridez.

Growing up in Greenwood, Indiana a short distance from the world famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway, my dad would take me to local car shows and events. Through this I gained my passion. Along with cars, I have always loved photography, writing, and graphic arts. However when attending college I did not pursue my passions. I played it safe and majored in business and marketing. After a few years in this field I determined this was not for me and began to pursue a writing and photography career. Landing me here with Power Automedia. I am also now the business owner of Bridgett's Toxic Creations. Specializing in automobile showboards, custom license plates, logos, and website headers. Living and breathing the Mustang life everyday in everyway. To be able to work in my field of passion is amazing and fun experience everyday. The best part is sharing a common passion with others.
