Default Corvette Performance Upgrades

Every Corvette is designed to offer track-capable performance, but that capability increases with the Z51 Performance Package, offered on the 2014+ Stingray, and it is taken to its zenith with the Corvette Z06 - a true American supercar that delivered the fastest performance in the 2015 Car and Driver Lightning Lap shootout, topping the best European exotics.


Chevrolet Performance is proud to offer a new line of performance parts and accessories for 2014+ Corvette models based on the incomparable, uncompromising Z06. From brakes and cooling aids to downforce-enhancing aero panels and lightweight components, they're designed to give Stingray owners a competitive edge on the track, while enhancing durability and longevity.


These are the actual production parts used on the Corvette Z06, so you know each factory-engineered and validated to production standards. In short, they look, fit and perform like original equipment.


Whether you're looking to upgrade your Stingray for dedicated track use, a blend of street and track, or simply give it a distinctive, Z06-influenced appearance, Chevrolet Performance has the parts you need backed with the confidence they'll perform as promised.
You've got nothing to lose except seconds off your lap times!

Default Corvette Stingray T1 Suspension

This Suspension Package was developed to improve the on-track handling capabilities of the Corvette Stingray, including Z51-equipped models. Developed for racing, the Corvette Track Suspension Kit has been tuned with all-new stabilizer bars, lower control arms with stiffer handling bushings, and track-optimized passive shocks. Roll stiffness has been increased (40% front, 20% rear). This kit is homologated for SCCA’s Touring 1 Class and is designed to maintain eligibility for most club racing sanctioning bodies.

A FAN OF ENHANCED COOLING
CORVETTE Z06 600-WATT RADIATOR FAN

Developed to meet the Z06’s track cooling requirements, this powerful, 600-watt Radiator Cooling Fan increases the fan speed over the Stingray’s 500-Watt system for greater airflow and enhanced cooling capability. It is a direct replacement for the standard Corvette Stingray cooling fan.






TWICE AS COOL
CORVETTE SECONDARY RADIATOR


This radiator adds additional cooling capability to manual transmission Corvettes that see regular track use. This kit includes the lines and hardware necessary to mount and plumb this additional radiator to the front of any manual transmission-equipped Stingray. This includes base Stingray, Z51, and Z06 cars.
With the addition of this kit to a Z51 manual transmission car, the radiator fluid temperatures are lowered 25 degrees F, along with the engine oil temperatures down 15 degrees F. Addition of the Z06 grille further enhances the cooling capacity of this kit.

When the first announcement came out about the upgrade parts, there was a picture of the harness bar in the materials. No part numbers available in the pictures.

I was hoping GM would finally come out with the part numbers. I've done a detailed search and can't seem to find the original materials.

Oh well.
