This Corvette Z06 Adds Twin-Turbos, Pumps out 1400 HP - BoldRide.com
So just how does a Corvette get ratcheted up and tuned to deliver 1,400 horsepower. Then, the ‘Vette was fettled by Georgia’s Vengeance Racing, which equipped the bombastic V8 with two Precision 6766 turbochargers, an air-to-water intercooler, and new x-pipe exhaust. According to the listed dyno results, that setup dispatches a resolute 1,419 horsepower and 1,321 lb. -ft. of torque to the rear wheels, handled by the Z06 six-speed manual and a new carbon fiber driveshaft. A ProEFI engine management system and boost controller can vary that power output between five different tunes, all the way down to only 800 horsepower at the wheels. Stopping power comes courtesy of Corvette ZR1 carbon ceramic brakes. RELATED: Check Out the 1,000 HP Hennessey-tuned Chevrolet SS. Inside, the ‘Vette is said to boast a mix of leather and Alcantara, under which a substantial amount of soundproofing and heat-eschewing material has been added. Which would win in a drag race—this monster Z06 or a 1,342 horsepower Toyota Supra. RELATED: If Chevrolet Builds a 2017 Corvette ZR1, it May Look Like This. Source: news.boldride.com
