Default **1,000 hp C7 Z06**

Here is a nice video of our Stage II package with the addition of a custom nitrous system. This car made 750rwhp on boost and only with the customers request did we push the limits of the stock Engine/Clutch by adding enough nitrous to break the 1000rwhp barrier.

Very nice! But that is not a "1000HP C7 Z06" but a "1000HP C7 Z06 Engine" only...

Clutch, torque tube and gearbox will die very quickly since not made for that kind of torque so still a lot to do before making a real 1000HP Z06 to my opinion.

Default World's First 1000-Plus-Horsepower Corvette Z06 Tackles the 1/4 Mile



You need to stop what you are doing and watch this video right now. What we have is the world’s first 1000-plus-horsepower manual C7 Z06. This car comes from LMR and it features the new Stage III package. The team rolled up to the line, right off the trailer, did a soft launch, and still managed to hit a 10.08 in the ¼ mile. This car is badass in all the right ways.

Yes, with drag radials on this car, it will make for a perfect roll racing/drag racing car.

One of our customers has some good footage of himself at MSR with our stage II package. I will try and edit some footage to show everyone. It looks amazing coming in and out of the turns, and of course the straight away is just unbelievable how quickly it accelerates. Customer said TC was coming on a little in 3rd and 4th with the extra HP. Looking forward to making a video of it as well.

Is LMR leaving the displacement on demand intact with this mod?

The black car has ran 145mph in the 1/4 mile but we have yet to make a successful pass without having clutch issues. We just installed another new clutch and our currently breaking it in before we take her back to the track. This clutch definitely feels better than the previous ones so we are optimistic about our next outing. The heat is starting to hit Texas so not sure we will see great conditions, just want to make 1 complete 1/4 mile run to see what this manual car can do.

We know the Automatics will be laying down some very impressive numbers in the near future.
