The only trunk/frame mounted, reverse swan neck, all US-made, CFD and Wind Tunnel-tested, carbon fiber track wing available for the C8 - or any car. Pair it with a Zebulon front splitter and our quick release system, and you have a streetable track car with a 1.94:1 L/D ratio. There is no more powerful aero package available for the C8 Corvette. By a factor of 2. Period.

There's a lot to unpack, so click here to learn about all of our C8 Aerodynamic offerings

C5-C8 Monoball Control Arm Bushings

If you're looking for slot-car like handling for your Corvette then a set of monoballs is probably the best money you can spend on your car. The car is transformed and so much easier to drive on the limit. We use the best materials available and custom fit each part to your YOUR control arms. All you have to do it send them to us and we take care of the rest, and return shipping is included.

Follow this link if you would like to turn your car into a race car.

C5-C8 Ultralow Seat Mount

This is the lowest, strongest, safest billet seat mount available for the Corvette. It will put your seat on the floor if needed. Using this mount with the Sparco QRT-R seat I gained almost 2 inches of head room over MTI rails with a Sparco EVO. Our integrated sub belt takes the guess work out of installing your 5 or 6 point harness. Not only that but it will survive an 85G mostly-rear impact. This seat mount saved my life and it can save yours too - just hope you never need to find out!

C7/C8 Titan Tow Hooks

Made from 7075-aluminum and hardened 17-4PH stainless steel, this US-made aerospace-grade tow hook could actually tow a space shuttle. So it'll look bitchin' on your street car or pull you out of a tire wall easy peasy.

Prepare for launch here

C5-C8 Adjustable Camber Kit

The product the launched our company is available for all C5-C8 Corvettes. If your car sees any serious track time than a camber kit is virtually required equipment. Set your alignment once and never worry about it again. Everything is USA made and guaranteed for life.

For more info on C5 and C6 camber kits follow this link. For the C6Z/ZR1 head over here. To solve problems for all C7s head this way.My C8 peeps should take a look seeright here

Differential Mounts - C5 and C6

Mitigate wheel hop and stop your trans from flopping around during hard cornering with our offerings for the C5 and C6 Corvettes. Rather than knocking off the same product that everyone else has for the last 15 years, we came up with fresh and updated designs to address short comings from competitors. These billet pieces firm everything up without a huge increase in NVH and they are guaranteed for life.

For the C5 check this out and for the C6 check that out.

X-Wife Drop Spindles for C5 and C6

Combine GSpeed design with AMT Motorsport manufacturing and what do you get? The best God-damned drop spindle on the planet that's what! Machined on our 5 Axis CNC, they start out as 70 lbs blocks and wind up as the 6.5 lbs beauties you see before you. Available in plain finish or your choice of anodized colors.

C4-C7 Wheel Spacers

We offer 4 different sizes of wheel spacers. Our 1/4" spacer uses the lip of the stock hub for centering and can be used with stock length studs. Our 3/8" spacer pushes the wheel out a smidge further but the ring on the hub is no longer effective. We recommend going to the 2.5" ARP studs if you're using a 3/8" spacer. We also offer 3/4" and 1" spacers with a machined lip for centering. These spacers should use the 3.25" ARP studs.

For 1/4" and 3/8" spacer head this way. For 3/4" and 1" go that way.

C5/C6 Vulcan Motor Mounts

These mounts are now on their third variation and better than ever. A single bolt keeps your motor from moving fore and aft, while vulcanized rubber dampens the vibrations so they're not as harsh as solid mounts. We now use a hard anodized 6061 center section to keep the 2 rubber pucks in each assembly where they belong. Make no mistake these mounts do not feel like the pillowy soft oil-filled gushiness of the stock mounts. You are definitely going to feel more of the engine with these mounts, but your 350 lbs lump of a motor will not be moving all over your engine bay either when performance driving.

Follow this link to order yourself up a set of motor mounts

C5-C6 Extended Gas Pedal

Our product makes heal/toeing your C5 and C6 Corvette a breeze. It's a cheap and effective mod to increasing your driving enjoyment and I guarantee you'll love it or I'll give you your money back.

C7 M80 Adjustable Toe Links

After selling a different product for a number of years, we've decided to start making our own version of adjustable toe links for all C7 Corvettes. The previous product had fitment issues with various parts and quality issues with the heim joints. Trying to work with the supplier to correct the issues wasn't getting anywhere, so in order to best serve our customer base, we came up with the AMT Motorsport M-80 Toe Links which use 7075 aluminum, 17-4 PH pins, and FK Heim Joints for the strongest and longest lasting toe links on the market.

Head here to snag a pair.

Thanks as always for the support!

ZR1 2009 ZR1 Recall looks like it was not completed- What to do?

RJS1725 — Fri, 22 May 2026 02:33:18 GMT

This shows up on GM�s website that you enter your VIN number to check if there are any open recalls which I checked for my new to me 2009 ZR1.
First of all would parts still be available? If it still shows open from 2014 would it be a covered fix?
Does anyone know exactly what this recall was?
Thanks for any advice.

Here is what ChatGPT says (but as we all know it is not always correct):

Key Fob Question

redrocket1953 — Sun, 17 May 2026 01:00:23 GMT

I have a 2009 Z06. I got a new puppy and this afternoon I dropped the key fob, the puppy grabbed it and out in the woods she went with it. I looked for an hour or so but didn't find it. My buddy has a brand new GM 25926479 one in the package yet and said I could have it. What do you have to do to program a new fob? I still have the spare one that came with the car. Is it a take it to the Chevy garage type of deal? Also they must need to cut the emergency key also. I really miss the days of taking your keys to the hardware store and in 5 minutes or less you have a new working key. Thanks for any info.

Looking for a ZR1 Owner in San Antonio area

csnow — Fri, 15 May 2026 13:22:11 GMT

Odd request, but I am looking for a ZR1 owner that wouldn't mind meeting up with me at their convenance. I am adding the ZR1 intercooler pump and both reservoirs to my TVS. I just wanted to see how things were routed to ease my install before getting started. Wings are on me if you don't mind.

Z06 Apsis usa never again

S�bast19X — Wed, 13 May 2026 00:44:49 GMT

Like title says, I've got rapped hard and big time with JERSEY WU. I asked him to do my upper 3LZ door panel. I removed that upper portion only and sent it to him.

Like the video show, the job was done very poorly and it cost me an arm. the part took almost 2 month to get back.

This guys are a kind of scam !

Z06 Passive Lock Issue

dmuellenberg — Tue, 12 May 2026 15:59:16 GMT

2006 Z06 - using the passive lock feature, when leaving the vehicle sometimes it will beep 3 times letting me know that it thinks the fob is still inside the car and the car won't automatically lock. I know the fob is in my pocket and the 2nd fob is in the house, so for some reason it still thinks the fob is still in the car. Doesn't happen all the time, just every so often. Anyone else run into this issue or know what is causing the issue? TIA

Fixed LS7 heads failed

Bruno417 — Mon, 11 May 2026 19:40:52 GMT

I have been in the process of getting a new upgraded cam installed in my '13 Z06. A few weeks ago my engine builder gave me the bad news that my oil pump was scored and probably should be replaced. So went down that rabbit hole, no more GM pumps, so my only option was the Katech track pump for $1,700. Got that and just took it to him today, he then says come on back to where my engine is, well this guy is really thorough and he motions me over to where my heads are on the work bench. You guessed it, the heads I had "fixed" 6 years ago had every valve guide trashed. Some were 6+ thousandth's of wiggle. So guess I dodged another bullet. I don't know how much longer it would have gone before it dropped a valve. Whew. He recommended I change over to roller rockers because the geometry on the stock rockers just doesn't work. Anyway just ordered a set of TSP shaft roller rockers ( they are not on their website have to ask for them) to go with all the other parts. So far a simple cam shaft upgrade has been way more expensive than planned, however it is surly better than a aerated block. Should be done in a few weeks IF I don't have anything else that needs replacing.

2007 z06 clutch not comming up

romandian — Mon, 11 May 2026 08:05:50 GMT

car has been sitting. on first drive clutch stuck to the floor. after i pulled it up it was fine. same happened several times. then it it started sometimes to come up, but not all the way (maybe 1-2" short), in between it was normal. now, after about 50-100 miles, its good. no problems.

im very curious what goes on mecanically/hydraulically to make the clutch act like that and then to "fix itself" (hopefully). i read a lot and talked to people, not really finding an answer, speculations ranging from spring/excenter on pedal to neccessary clutch replacement.

thoughts?

ZR1 Rocker rivet issue

zeus79 — Sun, 10 May 2026 12:53:07 GMT

Anyone ever have the rivet that holds the plastic piece to the rocker get loose? Looking for a fix. I have no idea how this happened but I can push on the rivet and it moves freely back and forth as if the hole got bigger. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Fellow C6-Z06 Owner Gets Lucky

GlennSullivan — Sun, 10 May 2026 11:07:50 GMT

On the highway near my house yesterday. Don�t know the car / owner, but fire department said he �self extricated�. Glad it appears he was not hurt and suggest he might want to stop by church today, as this could have easily been fatal. These cars, with their wide low profile tires are prone to hydroplaning, especially on our local roads that pool water.
