2006 Z06 Corvette

2006 Z06 Corvette


427 cid Aluminum C5R blueprinted block
512HP with advertised 500HP
Aluminum block w/104.8mm bores & pressed-in liners
Forged steel crankshaft with 101.6mm stroke
6-bolt forged steel main bearing caps
Titanium connecting rods
Cast Eutectic aluminum flat-top pistons
Racing-derived CNC-ported aluminum heads w/ 70cc chambers
56mm titanium intake valves
41mm sodium-filled exhaust valves
11.0:1 compression ratio
Composite manifold with 90mm single-bore throttle body
Camshaft with 15mm (.591-inch) lift
Dry-sump oiling system
7000rpm redline
Weight: 2900 lbs
Rear spoiler
Functional air induction from hood vent
Hydroformed aluminum chassis*
*The chassis was developed by Pratt and Miller, the engine by Katech. Since these two companies brought us the C5R, one might expect the Z06 platform to be a C5R with a license plate. That would be close.

The performance of this package will blow the doors off any comers, including the exotics.

That is just unbelievable to get the 499rwhp with just those mods. That's 372.4rwkw, mind boggling.

Thanks for the great thread.
