  • SR Chevrolet Corvette C6 Inspired Autosport Project M47

    SR-Chevrolet-Corvette-C6-Inspired-Autosport-Project-M47-THUMBThe Corvette C6 is indeed emblematic machine. With its unique body work it can be recognized whenever it appears on the streets. And as the outlook speaks, it is fantastic sportscar with great amount of power.

    In particular it can generate 400 horsepower (300 kW) at 6000 rpm and 400 lb•ft (542 N•m) of torque at 4400 rpm thanks to its 6.0 L LS2 V8 engine. But this wasn’t enough for the specialists at Inspired Autosport, who have been building this gorgeous C6 Corvette.

    With the release of the much anticipated C7 Corvette around the corner, the current platform will be undoubtedly missed. SR Chevrolet Corvette C6 Inspired Autosport Project M47 was in the beginning the regular C6 Corvette Convertible, with the characteristics typical for the production car.

    However, huge transformations took place. Some of them included modifications on the power plant, the chassis and of course – some cosmetic improvements. For instance, the original set of wheels has been light weight and wide one.

    Here the tuners have equipped the Chevrolet with factory wide body kit from the 2012 Corvette Grand Sport model. Furthermore they have installed new front bumper, front and rear fenders installed.

    This allowed the professionals from PUR Wheels to step in the creation of the project. They have equipped the Corvette with a 20×13 fitment which would support massive stream roller size 345/25/20 tires out rear.

    In fact, the exact design is named PUR design 4OUR, which is in a stealthy high gloss black finish and matches the new gloss black paint job on the car. Other improvements include the addition of many extensive engine bolt-ons, suspension tweaks and full race exhaust front to back.

  • 2012 TIKT Corvette C6 ZR1 Tripple X

    TIKT Corvette C6 ZR1 Tripple X thumbTIKT Corvette C6 ZR1 Tripple X is a true master piece! With its 648 PS (476 kW) and 810 Nm (598 lb-ft) it goes directly to the class of super sportscars! More importantly it also makes an excellent impression!  The high-tech and precision company called TIKT is the reason for this astonishing tuning! In details, first the performance was improved by using a modified cylinder heads, camshafts, strengthened valve springs, modified compressor ratios, a larger throttle valve and a completely modified exhaust.  Then after a fine tuning of the engine‘s controls, there was achieved a peak of 769 PS (585 kW) and a top torque of 970 Nm (716 lb-ft) was printed out at the performance test station. Next, there was performed a second step, at which the PS and Torque were stabilized by regrinding and finely adjusting the valve seats. Additional upgrades were made to the cooling system of Z06 too. Additionally the cooler was encapsulated and mounted in combination with a new front skirt. Because of the targeted air flow to the side, now a real venture effect is created! This makes it a great advantage for the Corvette‘s aerodynamics. In order not to hamper the cinematics of the suspension and at the same time to increase the performance on the tarmac, the leaf springs on the rear axle were retained and new wheel mounts were made. The result is that the vehicle is 30 millimeters closer to the ground without any lowering. Together with a new suspension set-up (including new race shocks) this tuned C6 was brought approximately 50 millimeters closer to the road. In addition there was added also an improved grip with very light Zerra Ultralight Evo 2 wheels. They once more reduce the overall mass. And to keep the performance perfect, there were also mounted behind the ultra–light allow wheel rims stable brakes of suitable size. At last but not least, the aerodynamic „assistants“ in the shape of a rear spoiler were also constructed of equally weight saving carbon. And all these modifications and improvements have the Corvette into a Triple X ZR1 the ultimate super sportscar!
