Thumbs up newest MTI project car - ProCharged 427ci 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 6.0L 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.







Seeing Vettes like this makes me very uninterested in the upcoming C6

- Kook's 1 7/8 headers with 3 x 3 Catted X-Pipe (yes the 787 rwhp was through cats!)

i'd love to run a car on top end to see who or what could keep up! the best thing is that beast handles and brakes as good as it accelerates.

Thoes numbers seem kinda low for a F1 Procharged cars with thoes heads and that amount of cubes. 346-385 small bore motors with that blower are making thoes numbers. Is the car running low boost or maby the really crappy ATI twin intercoolers?

It's probably due to the long stroke...
