The cover article in the November 2006 Vette Magazine about this car was entitled “Overkill” and the headline questioned, “Could J.R. Granatelli’s twin turbo terror be the most powerful C5 on the road?” I am pleased to present that very potent 972 HP 2004 Corvette Z06. This is a 1 of 1. This car was modified by Granatelli Motorsports and owner Joe Granatelli who is the nephew of motorsports legend Andy Grantelli. The car only has 7000 +/- miles on it and the VIN # is 1G1YY12S445108803. The color of the car has obviously been changed to a dark custom black cherry (formerly yellow as seen in the magazine articles). . The Z06 is a great car, but Granatelli Motorsports turned this Z06 into an AMAZING car. Highlights of the car include: – Granatelli Twin Turbo kit featuring two Turbonetics 76mm ball bearing turbochargers producing 972 RWHP and 1057 lb./ft. at 12 psi (max boost) – Engine bored and stroked to a 427 – LS6 block with Darton sleeves – Lunati forged crank/rods and Ross forged pistons – 8.8:1 compression ratio – TTI intercooler – Granatelli exhaust with Corsa mufflers – Granatelli Motorsports LS2 mass air sensor – Granatelli 0 ohm plug wires – FAST intake manifold – Carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber door sill inserts – Exedy carbon fiber clutch – Twin Bosch 930 high pressure turbo fuel pumps manage the fuel system and sub-system (extra 5 gallon fuel cell) – G-force T-56 6 speed transmission – May 2015 – added new premium ceramic front brake pads – Adjustable wastegate and in-dash boost controller to go from mild to wild – EFI Live mapping software to mazimize the fuel/air/spark mixture – Baer Extreme-Plus 6R 6 piston brakes – Classic Design Concepts Tiger Shark front and rear fascias – RKSport carbon fiber hood – Catz HID conversion – HRE Granatelli Signature Series 19? wheels – Stock 3:31 gears with Mark Williams halfshafts – Michelin Pilot Sport tires – -275/40ZR-19 Front, 345/35ZR-19 rear – Weight 3125 purchased this vehicle for $60,000 in 2004 and invested another $125,000 (his cost) in time – 9.76 at 154 MPH – Runs on pump gas – achieves approx. 20mpg during normal driving conditions – has a 9 gallon fuel tank and a 3 gallon auxilliary fuel tank in front

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
