2000 Corvette C5 supercharged, 640hp ZL7 Supercar This beats the best Z06s at the track. It sounds like an animal on steroids. An x-type pipe system, Random Tech cats, BandB Bullet mufflers, and 3-inch stainless steel pipes. That gave the Vette the growl it needed. Design alterations give this beast ready to prance look. Holcombs Auto Body in West Grove, Pennsylvania, installed an aerodynamically inspired ACI front splitter and ground effects, along with a Caravaggio rear wing. So it sounds grrr....eat and looks vicious but its all about the performance, isnt it? So it is fitted with a ZL7 427 C5 Corvette PerformancePac. This all-encompassing engine-upgrade package comes with 1.85-ratio rocker arms, an 85mm MAF sensor, a Blackwing cold-air induction system, a DiabloSport II programmer with custom SLP tuning, and an LS6 intake manifold. Used together, these parts are said to boost the output of an LS1 Vette to around 427 hp. To free up even more ponies added a set of LG Motorsports highly regarded long-tube headers with 1.75-inch primaries. Not finished yet: Installed a SC600 kits, featuring a Paxton Novi 2000 head unit, polished intake ducting, an ECS custom oversized intercooler, silicon couplers, Motron 60-lb/hr injectors, an MSD fuel pump, NGK TR-6 spark plugs, an ECS valve-cover breather, and a catch can. The cars drivetrain was also beefed up with a Textralia dual-friction clutch and heavy-duty flywheel. During dyno testing, the once-stock Corvette pulled a healthy 540 horses at the rear wheels (around 635 at the flywheel), a feeling of great joy. So it sounds grrr...eat, looks vicious, powered peaked but needs to hold the road. This C5 had such unbelievable torque and pure, unadulterated horsepower that Traction was needed. To that end a set of Scott Lewis C5 flares and functional Z06 rear-brake ducts, making it possible to add oversized iForged Daytona wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot 265/35ZR19 front and 335/30ZR20 rear rubber. C6 Z06 brakes at all four corners round out the modifications. This Corvette was entered into 22 shows in 2007 and took home 23 awards, including many Best of trophies and a Best in Class at the Super Chevy event in Maple Grove, Pennsylvania. The end result is a well-balanced performance car-not just a show car, but one that puts out more horsepower than the C6 Z and maybe even more than the new ZR1. Mission accomplished.
