Doug Rippie MotorSports now has a second companion to the highly acclaimed C500/RSR that has rocked the Corvette world.  It's the C5/RS and it packs many of the road racing features and high horsepower that made our C500/RSR car famous.  The suspension and brakes have been upgraded for autocross and road racing while still maintaining that comfortable factory ride.  This is our most affordable car conversion and offers great value and performance in one complete package.

Each C5/RS has its own unique serial number.  Every car is gone over by Doug Rippie himself and is released only when he is satisfied that every aspect of this extreme performance automobile has meet his expectations.

If you have a 1997-04 C5 now and would like to upgrade it to our C5/RS we can arrange pickup and delivery door-to-door anywhere in the country.  Or, if you prefer, we can arrange for a new C5 fully converted and delivered right to your home.  Customer pickup at our facility is also available.
