STS Twin Turbo C6 Corvette

Looking absolutely menacing in matte black, the The Squires Turbo Systems twin-turbo C6 Z06 gives the former most-powerful Vette model a boost to 700 horsepower. All this power is achieved at a very reasonable 7 pounds of boost, which, depending on how sorted the Bilstein-shocked suspension is, could give it a good shot at sticking with a stock ZR-1.

The most unique thing about this car is that STS mounts the turbos remotely, at the rear of the car. That placement keeps the engine bay freer and adds a host of technical perks like lower temps under the hood and cooler oil going to the turbo. And according to STS, some customers have even gotten better gas mileage. Strangely, though, for all of that new performance, the brakes look untouched. But who cares about brakes when you have earth moving torque?

Corvette C6 based retro C3R Corvette

While many would argue that the current C6 Corvette is by far the best Vette ever, it's appearance leaves a little to be desired for those looking to stand out. The current design isn't so much different from the last two generations, and one could argue that it's high time for a change.

Count Christian Cyrulewski among those who are bored with the C6. But unlike the rest of us who would probably just complain about it with our buddy's, he's taken matters into his own hands and created the C3R prototype. If it generates enough interest, Christian may offer a kit version of the car.

Christian plans to drive the car in the Woodward Dream Cruise next year. Like your retro style musclecar with some muscle? Christian also plans a 427-powered version of the kit complete with side pipes. No word yet on pricing or availability of the car, but we'll keep you posted.
