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. Source: www.corvettels7.com
