The C6 Z06 with its lightweight chassis, big-inch motor and killer good looks still blows my mind to this day, especially when it’s making 1205 WHP on pump gas thanks to a cogged ProCharger F1X ramming 19 psi of boost into a 444 CI motor. The charged air is cooled with an air-to-water intercooler and […] More »

With all the C7 talk stealing headlines we almost forgot to honor the C6’s last stand, a 60th Anniversary Arctic White 427 Convertible that rolled off the Bowling Green, Kentucky assembly line at 8:04 AM on February 28th 2013. According to a Corvette Museum blog, 215,100 C6 Corvettes were produced since it was introduced in […] More »
Lets be honest, when it comes to toys and trinkets around the house, Gearheads are as bad as any sports fanatic or techno geek. I’ll be the first to admit that I too, am a sucker for car toys and accessories. Which is why the minute Road Mice released the C6 Z06 wireless mouses some […] More »
