Massive Z06 rear fenders and...
Massive Z06 rear fenders and 3.5-inch Borla exhaust tips should provide ample visual and auditory warnings that this Chevrolet supercar means business.
Whether driving on the clogged arteries to and from Houston or displaying the potential to turn mid-10-second e.t.'s at the local dragstrip, this C6 manages the balance between all-out race car and luxury cruiser with aplomb. Thanks to the expert building and tuning skills of Motorsport Tech, the car has stepped firmly into the crossroads of C6 performance and come out with its soul-and its stock-block engine-intact.
Remember, when you approach the intersection of your life, forget the mysticism of Hoodoo and those intoxicating Robert Johnson blues riffs. You need only delay your gratification as long as it takes to hit the dash-mounted proximity fuse on your own C6.
The author would like to thank David Gianechini for "composing" the crossroads photograph at George Bush Park in Houston, Texas.
 The ProCharger H.O. intercooled...  The ProCharger H.O. intercooled supercharger kit utilizes an upgraded D-1SC head unit and pumps 12 pounds of boost thanks to a six-rib 4.25-inch pulley. Once the ravenous engine achieves 6 pounds of boost, straight methanol is injected just before the throttle body to help prevent detonation. |  A custom amp rack from Custom...  A custom amp rack from Custom Car Stereo of Houston dominates the rear hatch of the C6. Audio insulation abounds on the floors and doors of the C6, ensuring a concer-like experience.

Motorsport Tech's ProCharger magic raises the stock-block LS2's rear-wheel output from 350 hp to a staggering 706 horses at 6,400 rpm. The torque curve is almost linear in nature and crests at 606 lb-ft at 5,300 rpm. |
