2005 Chevrolet Corvette C6 by Late Model Racecraft


 
  Review 
 
   

Weren’t we just talking about all those 1,000-horsepower American sports cars a few days ago? In case you need more proof of that, here’s another mind-bending example: A Chevrolet Corvette C6 that was worked on by Late Model Racecraft to push out 1,600 horsepower. Built in collaboration with LMS and D2Forged Wheels, this berserker of a sports car could very well be one of the most powerful Corvettes you’ll find anywhere in the world.

This Corvette already has an impressive 6.2-liter V8 engine under its hood, one that produces 430 horsepower and 424 lb/ft of torque. Apparently for some people, those figures are just not worthy of their time. So they did what any right-minded tuning shop would do: tune it up to their standards.

The result is a Corvette C6 that carries a twin-turbocharged WarHawk motor, resulting in a dizzying output of 1,600 horsepower. We’ll repeat that in case you got confused: 1,600 horsepower.

And if that wasn’t extreme enough, Late Model Racecraft made sure to give the Corvette the look to match its output, courtesy of a Z06 widebody kit and a new set of 19" (front) and 18" (rear) three-piece D2Forged VS1 wheels.

With a car that carries such a significant mod set-up, there’s a big chance that this program will cost you more than what you’re willing to spend. Then again, 1600 horsepower is 1,600 horsepower, and a lot of people will pay premium money to have that much output on a Corvette.

Yeah! I have to agree that it really looks like a Lotus Elise, but I still find it more impressive than with Lotus. Moreover, I’m so fascinated with the engine of this one, very powerful and awesome!

It looks like a Lotus Elise on its platform except on its front design. However, I still find this Corvette C6 more appealing and attractive than on Elise. Good thing as well that it is more powerful and so fun to drive with!

That is really a dizzying output! 1,600 horsepower is truly very awesome and impressive on this Corvette! I wonder if what will be its highest maximum speed? Well, I would really wait for that.

Its engine specification is truly so awesome for this sports car! I just only hope that it couldn’t entertain any problem on its speed performance. Anyway, I love the exterior design of it.

Its sleek body paint gives the classy appearance on this Corvette, and I must say that it was oozing with angst most especially on its front design. Well, I just hope that it had also an impressive interior.

Chevrolet is really cool when it comes into producing a good-looking and a powerful muscled car, and this Corvette C6 is one of the proofs! smiley I’m so impressed with it!

I just simply love the simplicity of this Concept of Subaru, and I have to agree that it is already looking great on it sleek and plain body paint. I just don’t think either that the engine of this one, could give a better performance on it.
