This piece of history may look like a mashup of the Batmobile and a first-generation Corvette, but it’s more significant than that. It’s the first factory-built and sponsored Corvette-based race car to come out of General Motors, with design and performance work done by the Fathers of the Corvette, Harley Earl and Zora Arkus-Duntov. MUST SEE: Tesla Model S P85D Cranks Out Massive 864 LB-FT On The Dyno: Video Appropriately, this special race car, the Corvette SR-2, bears the signatures of those Corvette legends, as well as the signature of famed racer John Fitch among others.

2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 Wins Redemption Against Viper T/A: VideoThe street isn’t an appropriate place to race for a hundred different reasons, not least of which is the stupidity of doing 150-plus-mph in an open environment, without proper emergency support or safety gear. But hey, people are going to do it anyway, so we may as well enjoy the fruits of...

Conservative ECU Tuning Causing Power Loss On 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06There’s no denying that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is one heck of a performance bargain, with the $78,995 coupe (or $83,995 convertible) coming with a supercar-like 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque straight out of the box.

The team at Vengeance Racing has certainly been excited to take delivery of its new 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Upon delivery, there was a massive burnout, which was followed up with a run on the dyno. That run produced power figures of 585 horsepower and 617 pound-feet of torque at the rear wheels. MUST SEE: Lies! There Is No $212,000 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat That translates to quite a bit more than the advertised 650/650 being touted by GM. Now another group have plopped the C7 Z06 on a dyno, and the results gathered by High Tech Corvette are just as impressive. This Z06 produced power...

This owner at least returns that luck with the favor of a massive burnout right after...
