Corvette Z06 arrived in dealers,
Geiger Cars of Germany prepared a tuning program for the top-of-the-line
American sports car.The Z06 sparked the second half of the C5’s life span
with a Corvette model for the extreme performance enthusiast. Now, Team
Corvette combines the numerous attributes of the sixth-generation Corvette
with the technology and winning determination from the C5-R program to take
the new Z06 to the next level in total performance. The Z06 model replaced
the FRC model as the highest performance C5 Corvette. Instead of a heavier
double-overhead cam engine like the ZR-1 of the C4 generation, the Z06 used
an LS6, a 385 bhp (287 kW) derivative of the standard LS1 engine.
To achieve a power increase from standard 512 hp / 377 kW to 542 hp / 389 kW
there is Geiger's STAGE 1 performance kit. The tune-up contains a free-flow
intake air guiding with sport air filter, special exhaust manifolds, steel
bed catalysts, four large chrome exhaust tips and a special mapping for the
ECU. The engine tuning makes the Corvette Z06 even more agile and doesn’t
only convince with quicker revving up but also with higher road performances:
The sprint time from 0 – 60 mph is reduced to about 3.6 seconds, maximum
speed is increased to about 202 mph.
