  • Meet Steven, the shop owner and hero behind the remarkable transformation of this 1500 Horsepower ProCharged Monster Corvette. In this video, Steven tells the incredible story of how his customer's Corvette was nearly destroyed by another shop, only for LMR (Late Model Racecraft) to step in and build it beyond all expectations.
    What started as a nightmarish situation quickly turned into a testament of LMR's unrivaled skill and craftsmanship. From salvaging scraps to rebuilding the car from the ground up, Steven and his team at LMR poured their hearts and souls into every detail, resulting in a ProCharged F-1X monster with 1500 horsepower. In this video Steven takes the Corvette for a spin on the street. With three solid rips, he showcases the raw power and precision of LMR's work, leaving us speechless and in awe of what this Corvette has become.

    Great job! I hate that happened to those folks. I live in Vegas and trust me there are some crooked mechanics here! I actually take my built C6 Z06 to a local family owned shop in town for oil changes but any other work that needs to be done is either drive or ship it to my builder who is located in Tempe, AZ. That car is bad ass! Cant wait to see it at some of the local events!

    lol, the car hood said “quit your yappin and LFG!” Pretty cool story. Yeah i drive 2 Hellcat vehicles (TRX & Charger) My wife drives a Durango Hellcat. We will be at your shop before the government comes for all you guys and your suppliers. Ppl don’t know about the 2026 new car law and then they’re coming to make it so everyone’s cars break or get in accident and have no parts to repair forcing ppl into 2026 cars and newer. No joke. Ppl thinking Trump is the savior you’ve been fooled-should’ve had the real deal for 8yrs -DeSantis. He was are only shot. Anyway.
    I have some questions man-i understand if you don’t answer on here but I’m curious. Did my buddy ED from Pennsylvania hire you guys to put automatic transmission in his brand new Viper when they first came out? You guys talked him into a venom package too? If you were the shop then there’s no way you could forget ED because he’s a crazy older rich guy. He ended up selling it right after because he couldn’t drive it lol. I’m guessing this was around 2007.
    So I’m going to get a C7 and I’m bringing it to you guys when i do. I’ve always wanted a 2019 ZR1 but as i watch some of your ZO6 videos and now I’m thinking i can save on the price difference and put it into you guys? Streetspeed Vette is what I’m after. I know it’s a ZR1 but is Z06 fine? I definitely want the burble tune. I think 1000 to rear tires is fine maybe. I’m curious if i went to this crazy package is there a way for me to have it so i can pick a lower hp on the drive modes. So have 1400hp under one mode and 1000hp under another mode? I know you don’t want to give prices on here but what should have available to do 1000hp to rear wheels? $20,000-$25,000? I’m only asking because if i sell my Charger and put money down on a Vette i need to keep cash for you guys. So I’m looking for ballpark and I’m not shopping around I’m definitely going to you guys plus I’m bringing my wife’s Durango Hellcat too. I’ve watched everyone else and i just like the way you guys do everything better. I used to see Paul Senior from OCC at his restaurant here in Florida all the time and he said if i buy a Vette to only bring it to you guys.

    Thats literally a normal shop here in Florida when it comes to corvette and LS … theyre all ears ready to take money. As soon as they take money they disappear and months and months go by no word. 4 shops in Fl well known, same story all the time. Thankfully I always get it back. When they think u have money and own several cars or toys , in their head u don’t care when it comes back so they always take on new business and you keep moving further back in The list.
    Many shops lack a secretary or manager that handles in vs out business , scheduling , on top of that tuner social skills are on par with a retarded baby many times so communication which is key in business, is nonexistent
