Blue Devil Z06 playing with C6 Supercharged & C6 Z06 Full Bolt Ons Here is an autobahn run done here in Germany. Although not a typical race it was fun to run at high speeds. A great opportunity to see how my supercharged C5 Z06 performs against other modified vettes. In this case a C6 (Procharged, full exhaust etc.) and a C6 Z06 (intake, full exhaust, etc)
The procharged C6 belongs to a friend and although it may seem slow, it is actually on par with slightly modded 997 Porsche Turbos.

Thanks everyone for their kind words. The video was taken near Bamberg (Bavaria).
Top speed at that run was around 195mph.
Here are some more details about my "Blue Devil" project:
As for basic specs:
740 HP @ 5790 RPM
675 LB-FT @ 5298 RPM
3197 LBS
My general idea behind the “Blue Devil” project was to build a C5Z06 based “supercar vette”.
I felt the desire to build a more exotic Vette on the c5 z06 platform and to refine & rework parts of the car with some fine German engineering, in order to turn the aging C5 Z06 platform into a supercar that would compete with today’s high end European tuner supercars like the Ruf RT12 R, Novitec Rosso 747, G-Power Hurricane,…
The goal was not to do a maximum HP built, it’s the “total package” that was important to me.
When going against many of todays tuned euro supercars on the Autobahns here in Germany, a stock C5 Z06 hat not much to offer anymore.
Realizing this project here in Germany was an interesting and rather difficult task. Even though there were many back sets and many “firsts”, it goes to show what is possible with the dated C5 Z06 platform.
Some of the parts on the car are custom made here in Germany and will only be found on this Z06. As for example the carbon fiber rear diffusor and carbon fiber front splitter. Another German reengineered section on the car is the braking system. The Movit brakes are the only 6 piston caliper to fit behind the OEM z06 speedline rims.
It was important for me to keep the car as light as possible and thus retaining the light OEM Z06 rims.
The interior features carbon fiber GT3 sport buckets seats and custom leather work. The steering wheel is a 34mm Raid airbag steering wheel. The feeling of the steering is improved a lot when compared to the stock steering wheel.
The double DIN navigation system was done in order give the c5 a more updated look.
The way it looks now, at least no one can bash the C5 for having an ugly plastic interior.
There is a lot more custom engineered stuff hidden under the hood of the Z06. Mostly not visible like custom cooling parts, reworked clutch cylinder, carbon fiber supercharger engine cover, etc.
The engine built is based on a full forged 347 LS6 block. I wanted to keep things simple and stick with proven parts.
The main purpose of having much of the custom work done is to build and fortify the Vette for extended high speed runs on the Autobahn. It’s one thing to put on a supercharger kit on a Vette but it’s another thing to build up a car that will hold up to the extreme amount of stress that longer high speed autobahn runs demand of a Vette.

Nice job op!!!......but as you can probably tell most in this section don't appreciate custom one off or modified stock stuff. If it's not a name brand part they tend to scoff at it.
