Eddie’s Corvette story began in 2005 with the release of the C6. The moment he saw the Lemans Blue convertible, he was hooked—and that love only grew from there. In 2024, Eddie launched Vicious Vettes Crew, with the vision of creating an exclusive community centered entirely around the C8 platform.

What began with just four members at the first meet quickly evolved into something greater. Today, VVC has grown to over 35 passionate C8 owners and continues to expand. As the founder and president, Eddie built the club on values of exclusivity, passion, and authentic connection. “We’re more than a car crew—we’re a movement. A family of drivers who live for the roads, the builds, and the bond.”

2023 C8 Z07 – Arctic White

Mods:

Engine: Eventuri Intake, Mamo Motorsports Ported Throttle Bodies, Kooks Headers, Cat Deletes, Borla ATAK (Prototype)

Freddie’s Corvette journey began in 2006 with the release of the C6 Z06—a 7.0L 427 with a manual transmission—that made him fall in love with the brand. Today, he proudly drives a fully modded Arctic White C8 Z07.

“My favorite part of being part of VVC is the sense of community and we are all so different but yet share the same love and passion for our C8’s. It’s more than just cars it’s friendships, the cruises, the meets, and the stories we all share. There is something special about being surrounded by people who get excited about the same thing you do. Whether it’s helping each other with mods, showing off builds, or just hanging out together, it always feels like a second family (My VVC Family).”

2023 3LZ C8 Z06 HTC

Mods:

Eventuri Intake, Ported Throttle Bodies, SOUL High Flow Cats, SOUL Valved Exhaust, Full Car PPF, HTC Tonneau Clear Window, RSC Carbon Fiber Body Accents, Dynamic Forged 20/21 Chrome Wheels, Custom Bespoke Stereo System

Robert didn’t grow up loving Corvettes—but all that changed when the C8 Stingray dropped. He originally considered a Lamborghini Huracán, but the Stingray turned his head and stole his heart. That love only grew stronger after upgrading to the C8 Z06.

“I love the camaraderie, I love talking cars, I love canyon drives. Something about cars calms me down from the everyday stress of the world.”

2022 3LZ C8 HTC – Red Mist

Mods:

Borla ATAK Exhaust, ARP Headers, Ported Throttle Body, Ported Exhaust Manifold, Cold Air Intake

Izzy’s passion for the C8 Corvette was instant. “When I saw the first intro commercial, I was like ‘Oh sh*t, that’s fire!’ A few months later, he sat in one at SEMA—and the decision was made. Five months after that, he spotted his Red Mist C8 at a dealership, made a U-turn, traded in his F-Type SVR, and the rest is history.

“What makes VVC stand out for me is the fact we all have an exceptional PASSION for DRIVING and DRIVING our C8’s.”
