Late Model Racecraft (LMR) is quietly producing some of the baddest Chevy street cars through high-performance aftermarket modification and tuning. Today, these guys are taking one of their latest project cars out for some real-world tuning. Let’s see what happens when a fellow citizen on a sport bike issues a friendly challenge. The car is a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. The Z06 is powered by a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 capable of producing 650hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. LMR has added a simple bolt-on package that includes a Quartz Performance heat exchanger. It is slightly larger than the factory unit. Read More

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

Finally, the long-awaited arrival of the mid-engine 2020 C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has come to fruition. At first glance, it appears to be all that was promised. The only thing left to do is see how it stacks up against the previous model. This video documents what happens when a pair of enthusiasts take to the streets of Mexico where they pit their magnificent machines against one another in dig racing. Eighth and quarter mile contests are on the card for this wild time on the mean streets. The C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is well heeled with a 6.2-liter supercharged Read More

I can remember a time, not very long ago, when power adders were a rarity. If you encountered a fellow racer with a turbocharger, a supercharger or even nitrous, it was something that was remembered. Today, everybody has a power adder. They usually have multiple power adders, in fact. I mean, who doesn’t need a kit of nitrous to get out of the hole, a little turbo to scroll you to the big turbo and a big turbo to get you across the finish line? That’s racing in the 21st Century. Our feature car; a beauty of a Chevrolet Corvette Read More

Greetings racing enthusiasts and welcome! The focal point of this video is a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. With a stock motor and fuel system, this little bowtie posts consistent 10-second (quarter mile) dig passes and blistering roll racing (1/3-mile @ 60-65 mph start) hits at 150+ mph. The top-tier Corvette Z06 was bountifully equipped from the factory with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine and a 7-speed manual transmission. It was capable of producing 655hp. Prepared by Petrolwerks, this particular Z06 has been modified but still uses the stock engine (including camshaft) and stock fuel system. The Lingenfelter supercharger has been Read More

What’s the difference between a Dodge Viper and a Chevrolet Corvette? When it comes down to a head-to-head race, which of theses two iconic supercars would perform the best?

Once and for all, we get to see which car is king. The C7 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a supercharged V8 engine.

Once in a while, it’s refreshing to see a car that is built without power-adders. Turbochargers, superchargers and nitrous are great, but nothing accelerates quite like an engine built with the sole purpose of producing horsepower. In today’s environment of economical turbo and super chargers, this all-motor ‘Vette is making his mark. The 2009 Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06 has a (LS7) 7.0-liter engine. Internals are stock except for Diamond (14:1) pistons. Cylinder heads, camshaft, intake manifold and fuel rail are all Frankenstein. Fuel injectors are by FIC and the cold air intake is a Vararam. Exhaust headers are Kooks 2-inch Read More

Today’s video features more than just a race – it is a series of contests to determine the Ultimate American Supercar. This battle between Chevy and Dodge has been raging since the 60s but the modern cars you’ll see in this clip are the best-of-the-best from each of these two prestigious car lines. King of the Mopar camp, the Dodge Viper SRT-10 uses a naturally aspirated 8.4-liter V10 engine to produce 600hp. The car weighs in at 3454-pounds. Likewise, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 represents the entire GM lineage. It has a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that makes 638hp and weighs 3333-pounds. Read More

by: Adam Yacoby There is a battle brewing on the East Coast. Seems that a car called the Demon is building quite a reputation and Corvette owners in Lobster Land don’t like it even a little bit. Word is that some of these Demons are going to be competing at Cecil County Dragway. Maybe – just maybe – some of these ‘Vette owners will show up, as well. Let’s have a look. Sure enough, there’s a pretty blue Chevy Corvette now. The C6 Z06 is equipped with a stock bottom end LS7 (7.0-liter V8). On top are a set of Read More

It’s a brand-new day racing fans and time to hit the interstate for some roll racing south of the border. Today, the action is of the roll race variety with a pack of rabid Corvettes on-hand. A few elite level Mustangs have also made the scene. Nevertheless, the real star of this clip is the camera and production work. Multiple camera angles, with an extreme level of clarity and precision, combine with premium video production to make this video a winner. The first contest of the evening involves a pair of ‘Vettes. The Walker Z makes 640hp using a small Read More
