Default LG Motorsports customer Z06 track build

Hey guys,

Lot of different projects running through the shop this summer and we have a number of track Z06's in the shop with this being one of the first to finish.

Kevin's 2008 Z06 came to us completely stock and is getting prepared for life on the track. Earlier this year we had a set of ForgeLine build a set of the new GA3R wheels being wrapped in new Hoosier slicks.

We are finishing up the mechanical side of things today and this weekend and finish up next week with a aero package, full scale and alignment.

Modifications include:
Engine:
  • LG Super Pro Long Tube exhaust
  • Borla sport mufflers
  • LG Carbon cold air induction
  • LG Motorsports G7X3 cam package
  • FAST 102mm intake
  • 102mm NW throttle body
  • LG Super Cool radiator
  • ARE oil pan

Suspension:
  • LG G2 coil overs
  • LG G1 sway bars
  • LG HD quiet end links
  • LG drop spindles

Brakes:
  • PFC four wheel brake kit
  • LG Spindle ducts

Aero:
  • LG ZR1 carbon front splitter
  • LG Carbon ZR1 side skirts
  • LG GT2 wing


Below you can find some quick shots of the build thus far.

Thank you again Kevin, and I can not wait to see and hear the car on track this summer!

Car looks amazing.

One question: Why the PFC brake kit over StopTech or Brembo?
