The Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition [2] is a bad, bad car – and we mean that in a good way. Even stock, these things are just a few ticks behind the top-dog ZR1 at the track in spite of having quite a bit less power, all thanks to handling goodies like magnetic ride control and the same brakes as the ZR1. It truly is a spectacular car even in stock form.
But now, the boost experts at ProCharger [3] have the honor of saying that they are among the first to add a big ole helping of supercharger induced boost to the feared and respected Z06 Carbon Edition. In a recent post on their website, ProCharger tells us that they got their hands on one of the 500 Carbon Z06’s, which happens to be owned by an un-named professional football player. ProCharger just simply did what they do best with the car – adding a P-1SC-1 centrifugal supercharger [4], air-to-air intercooler, and a few supporting mods like headers for a simple but effective combo. ProCharger says that at a mere 5 PSI of boost, the new ProCharger really woke the LS7 up, making an astonishing 703 horsepower and 638 pound feet of torque.
When the yet-to-be named NFL player drove his car after the ProCharger [3] install, he was quoted as saying, “This is stupid fast!” We plan to keep an eye out for more info on this sweet Carbon Z06, so stay tuned!
UPDATE: Thanks to one of our readers, Chad Hall, we now know that this ProCharged Carbon Z06 belongs to New Orleans Saints kicker, Garrett Hartley. Thanks for the info Chad!
