First Corvette ZR1 Totaled

Chevy Corvette ZR1 Totaled Wreck

Yup, it's finally happened - someone has sentenced a ZR1 to the scrap head by mangling the $110,000 supercar into a wall at Watkins Glen this past weekend. At first sight of the carnage you're thinking "I've been had, that's a C6.R not a ZR1!" But look a little closer and you can tell that the case here is not one of trickery but rather that of a diehard Corvette Racing fan that wanted to adorn his newest purchase with something in honor of the Corvette Racing team. That tribute came in the form of last year's "Jake" paint scheme that was created for the season-ending race at Laguna Seca where the Corvette Racing guys came out a lot better than this particular Corvette did.

ZR1 or Camaro… How About Both?

That’s right. The guys over at Hennessey are at it again with an idea that will make any gear head drool with envy. They decided that the 426 hp LS3 that comes in the Camaro SS just wasn’t good enough and that perhaps a little more persuasion via a 705 hp LS9 would help the tires put down a better patch of rubber. We couldn’t agree more and the rest of the package they’ve put around the new ZR1-sourced motor makes this the hottest Camaro we’ve seen by far.

GT2 Chevy Corvette C6.R

After almost a decade of trouncing every competitor, the reign of supremacy for Corvette Racing in the GT1 class is over. With no foes left to battle, the team at Corvette Racing is ready to draw blood again, even if they have to change classes to do it. Out of the GT1 ashes comes a GT2 phoenix and might we say, this phoenix is a looker. Not only does the new C6.R make us do a double take but it also is ripe with new hardware on the inside to meet GT2 class requirements. That being said, it’s a big day for Corvette Racing and an even bigger day for their new GT2 competitors, as they have to start worrying about exacting what the Corvette Racing slogan "Take No Prisoners" entails.

Hennessey Camaro HPE700 Dyno

When Hennessey announced their plans to shoehorn a LS9 motor from a ZR1 into the new 2010 Camaro the world stood still. When they released pricing equal to that of the ZR1 again the world paused. Last night it was time for the first Hennessey HPE700 to hit the dyno with its aforementioned powerplant strapped securely under its bonnet and potentially cause a little more havoc in the earth’s rotation - luckily there was a video camera present to capture the event.
