Import versus domestic is the new standard grudge match when it comes to virtually every form of racing. The grudge is well represented in this contest between the flagship of the GM lineup and the best that Acura (Honda) has to offer. Both vehicles are stock (or nearly stock). The C7 (2014-2019) Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is a beast of a street car. Equipped with an LT4 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine, the C7 Z06 can make 650hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. The LT4 power plant features such innovative performance components as Rotocast A356T6 aluminum cylinder heads and a 1.7-liter Eaton Read More

Two cars could not be more different. The Corvette Z06 is spit and polish modern with leather interior, shiny paint and climate control. On the other hand – the rail job is a 1927 Dodge Split-Window Coupe with a bare-bones cockpit, a bit of patina on the exterior – and tons of attitude. Similarities include LS engines and twin turbochargers. Let’s see what happens when the rubber meets the road. The 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of making 1,500hp. Today, it is detuned to 1200hp. The transmission is a 2-speed RPM Powerglide and the car tips the scale at Read More

In this video, Race Proven Motorsports (RPM) brings us an interesting contest between two similar, yet distinctively different Corvette models. The first, wearing the beautiful silver hue, is a C6 (2005-2013) Corvette. The other car, with stunning blue paint, is a C7 (2014-2019) Corvette. Fortunately for us, that is where the similarities end. The C6 is a naturally aspirated vehicle with a manual transmission and the C7 is supercharged with an automatic transmission. The C7 also makes 800whp and the C6 only makes 600whp. Both cars are modified by RPM. The C6 Chevy Corvette Z06 is equipped with a 7.0-liter Read More

Begin with a couple of Corvettes, add a Camaro, a Nissan GTR, a Subaru that looks like it just rolled off the set of Mad Max and you have the makings for an entertaining day of racing on the streets (of Mexico). These guys took their cars – in various stages of modification – down south to see who had the rolls to be king of the bakery. Take a look. The rear-wheel drive Corvette Z06 comes stock with a supercharged and direct fuel injected 6.2-liter V8 that can produce 650hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. This top tier Chevy 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.

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
