Wrapping up the C7 Z06 nitrous install
We'll have a full part and price list on the site soon, but for now, know this: The Vette Lab Z06 can run its full shot of nitrous AND work with the C7's traction control to put the power to the ground without having to worry about grenading that LT4.

C7 Z06 nitrous installation: Don't let anyone tell you it's simple
We mentioned our C7 Z06 nitrous install, or at least alluded to it, in an earlier post. Progress has been steady but there have been some interesting challenges with this

Mid-engine Corvette C8 spy videos!
The mid-engine C8 Corvette has been hiding in plain sight for months (years?) now, and the folks at Autoweek have gotten their hands on two videos of a C8 prototype testing on the streets. The Corvette videos were shot on a rainy day so there's a lot of road noise obscuring any real engine/exhaust note; chances are this is a base version with what may be the LT2 under the engine cover. Either way, the lines look great despite the typical automaker camo. We're looking forward to getting our
