Wayne hit the button and a big grin spread over his face. He had opened up the exhaust cut-outs with an electric switch. Tim says, “He opens them up every time he drives the car.”
With this build, Wayne was able to reach his primary goal—the ability to outrun Corvettes. He hasn’t lined up against a Z06 yet, but he has taken on standard Corvettes. With 516 horsepower and 533 ft-lb of torque, Wayne says, “All they ever see is my taillights.”
