Forget the ZR1, the Geiger Corvette Z06 biTurbo is where it's at!


Tuner, Geiger, has created a monster of a Corvette. Some starter modifications include mods to the cylinder block, heads and crank and increasing the displacement of the 7.0L LS7 to 7.6L. Next, Geiger added two "high-output" turbochargers with extra airflow at both the intake and exhaust ends.


What does all of this give you? 890hp (664kW) at 6,100rpm and 694lb-ft (940Nm) of torque at 4,500rpm. According to Geiger, this Z06 can reach a maximum speed of 220mph (354km/h).


The other upgrades are for handling this beast: a dual-disc transmission, carbon fiber driveshaft, stronger rear differential, larger 285/30 and 345/25 tires on some black alloy rims, 380x32 (front) and 355x32 (rear) StopTech brakes, custom "Geiger-tuned" adjustable shocks, higher spring rates and anti-roll bars.


Finally, Geiger has added its own GT body kit to provide a lower, meaner look that does'nt mess with the Corvettes's lines and let the turbos breathe easier.
