Specter Werkes, based in Troy, Michigan is one of the most respected
tuning companies catering for GM products. Since 1990 they have
been tweaking vehicles from Chevrolet, Cadillac and Pontiac.
The Specter Werkes C6 GTR is their latest piece of automotive
wizardry. This kit gives the Corvette an 800 horsepower engine
(top spec model), upgraded chassis components, and a bodykit
which doesn't know the meaning of subtle.
Going on display at the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the display
model C6 GTR which Specter Werkes cooked up is powered by a
Lingenfelter-tuned 7.0-liter LS7 V8 engine which produces 800
horsepower. Although the company will modify and tune any C6
corvette model from the base C6 all the way up to the mighty
Corvette ZR1.
Chassis modifications made to the C6 GTR include a StopTech
STR performance brake package with six-piston calipers
at the front, and four-piston units at the rear. Both front
and rear discs are drilled and slotted. Hotchkis adjustable
stabilizer bars have also been added to the suspension system.
The wheels are formed from carbon
fibre and weigh a mere 10 kgs (22 lbs).
The extra-wide bodywork features carbon fiber details, and whether
you like the styling or not there's no denying it takes the
aggressive-factor up about 100%. At the rear of the car the
matt-black taillight panel looks extremely neat in combination
with the gorgeous pearl blue BASF paintwork.
