    2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 | Magnuson Supercharger | Gwatney Heads & Cam | 875WHP

     

    In 1963, the first track-oriented Corvette Z06 was released to the world. 59 years and seven generations later, the Z06 continues to be an icon in the Chevy lineup. Already a beast from the factory, Andy decided to squeeze even more performance out of his 2015 Corvette Z06. We think the results speak for themselves.

    2021 Chevrolet C8 Corvette – American Racing Headers & AWE Catback

    While C8 Corvettes are tons of fun in stock form, one thing they desperately need from the factory: more exhaust note! Evidently, Hassan agrees with that sentiment, and brought us his gorgeous Accelerate Yellow Metallic 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 from Maryland to get the LT2 singing a bit louder! With the C8 on his lift, Dylan installed the following:
     
    • American Racing Headers 1.875″ primary ID headers which retain OEM catalytic converters
    • AWE Tuning Track Edition exhaust system
     
    With some extra output, and an enhanced V8 growl screaming at him from behind the driver’s seat, we’re sure Hassan will enjoy his driving experience even more!
