Corvette GTR

RACER X · 10-29-2009, 08:45 AM

Even with Ford as the featured manufacturer and the alarming number of expected Camaros, you can expect a few Corvettes to appear at the 2009 SEMA show. One example is the Corvette GTR from the Michigan-based tuner Specter Werkes/Sports seen above.

The Corvette GTR starts as a standard Z06. For power, the tuners turn to Lingenfelter Performance Engineering for a twin-turbo kit; the 7.0L LS7 now makes a claimed 800 hp through its Corse exhaust system. That's significantly more power than the version we drove back in June.

Specter has added StopTech brakes with slotted rotors and calipers with pistons numbering six front and four rear. The HRE wheels are carbon fiber, weigh 22 lbs each, and come wrapped in Michelin rubber. Painted in BASF Pearl Blue, the Corvette GTR also features Specter's bodywork and plenty of carbon fiber accents, including the headlamp housing, front splitter, and mirrors.

You can catch the Corvette GTR at the HRE booth outside the convention center. Check out our coverage of the 2009 SEMA show starting November 3.
