Cool newest MTI project car - ProCharged Vette

Here are some photos of MTI's latest in-shop project vehicle. It started life as a 2004 Z06 Vette, but was transformed into an all-out road racer with alot of power.

MTI 427ci "Z07" package, low compression setup with LS6 heads, and a custom ProCharger setup. 786 rwhp!
custom front and rear facia, CCW wheels
too many suspension/brake upgrades to list, it has everything under it.







This car was built to compete in last month's Car & Driver magazine "tuner shootout" but didn't get completed in time. MTI entered one of their customer Corvettes instead (naturally aspirated 427ci) and placed 4th overall, in a field of 29 tuners. Too bad this one didn't get finished in time!

I'll get Jayson or David to post up the engine/blower details, I couldn't remember all the stuff they put into it and don't want to give wrong info.
