The C6 Corvette, with the new Intercooled ProCharger system, has gained the reputation of being an earthbound rocketship. Let’s look at the numbers…

2006 Ford GT ............................... $150,000
0-60 3.3 sec 1/4 mile 11.6 sec

2006 Dodge Viper ........................ $ 83,000
0-60 3.8 sec 1/4 mile 12.1 sec

2006 ProCharged C6 Corvetter ... $ 54,000

And here is the latest verdict from Vette magazine:
“So the kit installs cleanly and uses proven technology, but how does it perform? Equipped with a modest 6-psi pulley, our test car’s output jumped from a preternaturally healthy 373 rwhp in stock form to a downright spooky 523. Allowing for a 15 percent loss through the Vette’s six-speed manual drivetrain, we can estimate that the ProCharged C6 is spinning up just over 615 horses at the flywheel…Indeed, it’s not difficult to imagine squiring this stylish all-rounder on a 1,000-mile interstate jaunt, then ducking into the local dragstrip for an ego-burnishing evening of Mustang mauling and Viper vivisection.”

If that kind of performance isn’t enough, consider tuner shop MTI’s C6 Devil Ray, with its 427ci built motor with ProCharger D-1SC and air-to-air intercooler providing a top speed of well over 220 mph! In a recent cover story in Vette, a delighted owner enthused “When you blast past a Lamborghini like it was standing still, there’s great satisfaction knowing you did it effortlessly and for significantly less money.”
