GeigerCars performance for the Z06
More power for the already fastest Corvette

STAGE 1 performance kit to boost acceleration with new ECU mapping.

Motion Trends,
27th January 2006.

As soon as the new Corvette Z06 hit dealers’ showrooms, GeigerCars got its ideas ready for it.

First comes power. For it's not "just" a Corvette. The Z06 is simply the new top-of-the-line model of the legendary American sports car, and the tour cannot decently start but from the engine.

Although the standard 7-litre V8 LS7 engine provides a generous 507 hp / 373 kW, where is the harm in extracting some additional power to get 542 hp / 389 kW? If you're tempted, the GeigerCars.de STAGE 1 performance kit will be soon available . If not, you won't need tranquilizers anyway with the standard over half mega-horsepower.

In any case, the STAGE 1 performance kit tune-up is not just a 35 hp pill.

0 – 100 km/h reduced from four to about 3.7 seconds.

It 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 electronic control unit (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 – 100 km/h is reduced to about 3.7 seconds (from about four seconds), maximum speed is increased to about 327 km/h (from around 300 km/h).

You can close the bonnet now, as many other GeigerCars.de customizing components are already available for the fastest production Corvette ever .

The designers of Europe’s leading customizer of American cars developed a front spoiler edge to fit on the standard apron. The body styling part doesn’t only make the front view more aggressive: The lift on the front axle is further reduced. Its aerodynamic counter piece is a diffuser to fit on the rear apron.

To be able to always safely control the outstanding road performances of the tuned Z06, GeigerCars.de offers a high performance brake system as well as suspension tuning for the new super sports car. They designed a custom spring strut sport suspension, which replaces the standard transverse springs to achieve an even more dynamic handling.

To perfectly fill the existing space inside the wider Z06 wheel houses, the GeigerCars.de technicians developed an equally spectacular and exclusive wheel/tire combination. The multi-piece chrome wheels were designed in the dimensions 10.5Jx19 front with 285/30 ZR 19 tires and 13Jx20 rear with 345/25 ZR 20 tires.

The GeigerCars.de set of wheels with tires is charged with 9,450 Euros.

GeigerCars.de also offers exclusive interior appointments for the cockpit from carbon panels up to the masterly handcrafted full leather trim in every imaginable color and design.
