1999 C5 Corvette
A fixed-headlight coupe with the stock chassis still doing the job it was never supposed to do.
The car behind the name
Saved from the junkyard.
A 1999 C5 Corvette that became the foundation for Bad Company Racing—and a real street car with a reason to keep getting better.
The beginning
Not a showpiece.
This C5 did not begin as a polished race program. It was saved from the junkyard and rebuilt one decision, one part, and one long night at a time.
Today it is still meant to do the part that matters: drive to the track, make the pass, and drive home. That is the standard behind every change to the car.
The platform
Built to be driven.
Turbocharged E85
A heavily modified LS combination built around careful development, repeatable passes, and real street miles.
4L60E focus
The transmission people like to write off is part of the point: keep refining it and prove what the platform can do.
The transformation
Before & after.

The target
Raise the bar.
Bad Company Racing is pursuing the fastest stock-chassis 4L60E Corvette record while keeping the car true to the thing that made the project matter in the first place: it is driven, not hidden.
Every pass is part of the learning curve. Every partner who comes aboard becomes part of the story.
