Gina Frosolone with the ShockerRacing C7Z06 Corvette

Written by James Anderson Tuesday, 27 December 2016 21:10

It was a cool October evening when we met up with Gina Frosolone and Chicago Photographer, Antonio Lopez. We grabbed our Adam's Polishes, brought out the ShockerRacing.com C7Z06 and found a spot in Elgin, IL behind a Home Depot that had the industrial look on one side and some beautiful fall colors on the trees. Our model, Gina, is no stranger to promotional modeling. She began at the age of 18 as a Ring Girl at MMA tournaments and has since done local calendars and Lover's Lane Fashion Shows and more. "My favorite was when I worked for Twin Peaks. I had my own commercial playing in restaurants across the United States," Gina tells ShockerRacing, "they sent me down to Dallas to shoot it."

Many of you may remember our C7Z06 from our previous feature, ShockerRacing's C7 Z06 Finally Heads to Speed Inc, but our 2015 Vette has been lightly modded with a Halltech Stinger Intake, Innovators West 18% Overdrive Pulley, and a Speed Inc Tune that added 92rwhp and 150rwtq. These basic mods really woke up the LT4 motor and with the addition of the Nitto Drag Radials this beast launches hard. The A8 trans with launch control allows it really hook and go, and got it to hit 155mph in the standing half mile races.

ShockerRacing always brings our Adam's Polishes along to any of our photoshoots and we were lucky enough to have Gina help us wipe the Vette down with some of the Adam's Detail Spray during the shoot!

Gina, the 23 year old Bartender, has always lived in Illinois growing up in Saint Charles but now calls Spring Grove home. She tells us, "I grew up in a car loving family. My dad had a Monster Truck and now has a brand new Corvette Z06 that he takes on the track frequently. He used to drag race motorcycles and taught me my love for speed." Along with the promotional modeling Gina has done she has appeared at car shows for Auto Art, Tesla, Honda, Ride Chi Events, and Harley Davidson Bike Washes. "You name it, I've done it!" Gina exclaimed.

Get to know more about Gina with the rest of her interview here:

SR: What was your first car?
Gina: It was a 2012 Ford Focus SR, the color was Blue Cotton Candy. Such a cute first car! My parents surprised me with it by paying the down payment. It was a magical moment when they threw me the keys and said, "it's yours!"

SR: What do you currently drive?
Gina: At the moment, nothing! I was in a car accident and my baby unfortunately did not make it. But it was a 2014 Ford Fusion in black with Pink LED lighting inside. I bought it for myself for my 21st birthday.

SR: What is your dream car?
Gina: The Hennessey Venom GT!!!

SR: If you could take the Venom anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Gina: This is a hard one because there are so many places I would love to go, but I would probably say Belgium. I want to check out their nightlife and the Tomorrowland Music Fest.

SR: Our fans are going to want to know, are you single?
Gina: I don't call it single, I call it independent.

SR: What would an Ex say is your best asset?
Gina: Well I had to ask him this question... at first he said my ass and body proportions but when I gave him the look he changed his answer to my ability to care for people who are struggling and showing people a good time!

SR: What is your biggest pet peeve?
Gina: When someone says, "I'll drive," like no... I WILL!

SR: Which of the Fast and Furious films is your favorite?
Gina: Definitely the first one! But I love all of them. I own them all and watch them regularly.

SR: Are you a Paul Walker or Vin Diesel kind of girl?
Gina: I'm Team Paul Walker with his wavy hair and sexy blue eyes. Although, I do like Dom's choice in American Muscle!

SR: What's your favorite food?
Gina: Filet Mignon! Take me to a Brazilian Steakhouse and it's on!

SR: What about your favorite Pizza Topping?
Gina: Pepperoni!

SR: Give us two fun facts about you.
Gina: I have a weakness for Bass... Every car needs a great sound system! And loyalty means everything to me. I am a ride or die type of girl!

SR: Leave us with your favorite quote.
Gina: "Beauty is power, a smile is its sword."
