1980 Corvettes have always had a soft spot in my heart because my first Corvette was a red-on-red ’80.
That’s why I’m hoping someone will accept the challenge of restoring this 1980 Corvette – perhaps one of the 2,077 originally painted that color – that’s been parked on concrete since 1991.

YouTuber TJ Hunt was one of the very first to take delivery of a 2020 Corvette and he promptly had a twin-turbo kit and aftermarket exhaust added to the car. It’s been a while since we’ve seen it last, but now the car is in Texas where Stephen Faraday and Late Model Racecraft are working to correct the various issues with the car.
Stephen explains that TJ’s problems included reduced engine power when at boost as well as a bunch of electrical gremlins due to maxed out sensors among other things. He was able to get the car running and in drive, but then there was an oiling issue where the intercooler was filling up with oil. So the previous kit was removed and LMR added their own twin-turbo kit to the car and once installed, most of the issues went away. Faraday says TJ then asked how he could get it to run in the nines and can it make 1000 hp to which Faraday replied the power wasn’t a problem, it’s the clutches that are the limiting factor.
