Club Leadership

Purchased at 18 years old, CT’s 2022 Infiniti Q50 Luxe has been a continuous project ever since. Originally a completely blacked-out build, the car later received a full purple wrap, giving it a new identity while its performance and appearance continued to evolve. It now produces approximately 500 horsepower, according to CT.

Key modifications

• BMS cold air intakes
• Z1 heat exchanger
• Z1 oil catch can
• Full custom exhaust featuring a muffler delete, resonator delete, catless mid-pipes, and AMS full race downpipes
• Racebox tuning on 93 octane using EcuTek
• 25mm wheel spacers all around
• Front lip
• Carbon side skirts and mirror caps
• F1 brake light
• Rear diffuser
• Custom “GAPPED” license plate

Built over time through CT’s ongoing work and investment, the Q50 combines a bold purple appearance with a growing list of performance upgrades.

Purchased at just 18 years old, Gabby’s 2018 Chevrolet Silverado LT is powered by a 5.3-liter V8 and marks the beginning of a long-term show-build project. Since buying the truck, she has been developing it step by step, starting with an exhaust setup that gives the V8 a more distinctive voice.

Key modifications

• Flowmaster Super 10 muffler
• Resonator delete

Future plans

A suspension lift, new wheels, and upgraded lighting are planned as Gabby works toward turning the Silverado into a complete show build. The truck is still in its early stages, with each addition bringing that vision closer.

Her role in Silent Motion

As Co-President, Gabby helps lead the club while supporting female representation and recruiting female members. She helps women connect with Silent Motion and feel welcome in the community, building relationships that strengthen the club. By sharing recruiting and leadership responsibilities with CT and Luke, she makes it easier for the team to support members and keep the club moving forward.

Her contribution to Silent Motion extends well beyond the truck’s modifications: it is also about the people she brings together and the community she helps build.

PEPE` LA TURBO

Nicknamed “Pepe` La Turbo,” Luke’s B5-platform Passat GLS wagon has evolved over three years from its original K03 turbo setup, rated at 150 horsepower, into a custom-built sleeper. The build now features an XS Power K04 hybrid turbo and custom tuning completed by Luke, with an estimated output of approximately 300 horsepower at the wheels.

Key modifications

• Approximately 500cc injectors
• Large front-mount intercooler
• 3-inch turbo-back straight-pipe exhaust
• 2.5-inch intake and intercooler piping
• HKS-style blow-off valve
• Stage 1 clutch and single-mass flywheel conversion
• 17-inch wheels
• Custom tuning by Luke
• Stage 2 weight reduction

The weight-reduction work started from a reported 3,100 pounds; Luke reports a current weight of approximately 2,800 pounds including the driver. Built gradually as parts and funds became available, this “FrankenWagon” remains an ongoing project.

Power and weight figures are owner-reported estimates.
