LMR Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – 1200HP Street Beast

October 14th, 2020

Late Model Racecraft – a leading Corvette modification firm located in the Houston, Texas area – is attempting something a bit different with this build. Let’s have a look. It all begins with a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. The Z06 package features an all-aluminum 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine that can churn out 650hp. LMR has scrapped the factory blower and added a F1-X ProCharger. Nothing new for LMR. The departure comes primarily in the massive air-to-air intercooler setup which includes custom stainless-steel piping (3-inch and 4-inch) and the relocation of the stock oil and trans coolers. As you would expect Read More

What we have tonight is a battle royale between a turbocharged Toyota Supra (900 – 950whp), a Procharged C7 Chevrolet Corvette (930whp) from Advanced Modern Performance, a twin turbocharged Ford Mustang (850whp), and a second C7 ‘Vette with full bolt-ons and a kit of nitrous.

October 5th, 2016

This 9-minute video brings us a step-by-step guide on how to build a run-of-the-mill Corvette Z06 (if such a thing exists) into an 1100whp pavement pounding monster.

Corvettes Battle on the Streets of Old Mexico

May 20th, 2016

It is a rarefied occasion when I happen across a video in which the camera car is the bully on the block. Well, this is one such video. If I had to choose a catch-phrase for this clip, it would undoubtedly be “see ya” in reference to the commentary that takes place inside the camera car. The camera ‘Vette is red. It is a C5 Z06 with a camshaft upgrade and a Vortec supercharger. Power is estimated at 664hp. The blue C7 Z06 has unknown modifications and claims 750hp. To keep things interesting, there is also a Gen V Coyote Read More

This may be one of the baddest looking cars ever to scarf up the pavement. It’s a 2014 (C7) Chevrolet Corvette owned by Andrew Alepa and piloted by Rob Valden. With plenty of help from Rick Steven’s Race Cars, Pro Line, and RK Racecraft, the team showed up at this Duck X lights Out 7 event (South Georgia Motorsports Park) in search of a $50,000 payday.

December 23rd, 2015

Check out this street throw-down between a twin turbo Porsche 997 with a VVi built 3.8-liter engine (putting down 1,038hp) and C6 Corvette with a Thompson Motorsports 370-cubic-inch V8, an 88-millimeter Precision turbocharger, specially built 6L80E automatic transmission with a 3400 stall converter (making around 1.000hp on 16 psi of boost).

Now, run and tell that! This is a back-and-forth affair on some less-than deserted streets. Just when the Read More
