Geiger Cars Chevy Z06 - "The Corvette C6 gets some more attitude"
We really like the way Geiger Cars makes the Corvette profile seem just that much more aggressive. This model is referred to as the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Geiger Black Edition Z06 (note: if you follow the link to giegercars click the American flag if you want the English edition of their website. Also note that the site is not fully optimized for the English language).

Geiger applies a body kit which includes a custom rear end, LED taillights, as well as a more dominating front lip

Geiger customizes a slew of different models. The main thing their customizations have in common is the general styling theme, and the fact that Geiger deals very heavily with GM models, though they did also do an awesome Geiger Ford GT kicking out over 700 horsepower. As far as the Vette goes in this day and age, even in its' stock form, it is a menace to some of the awesome German engineering it's often likely to encounter, and then some.

There is a 78 horsepower gain with the work Geiger applies to the engine, which puts the LS7 up to 583 horsepower. This is up from the stock 7.0L Z06 V8s rating of 505 h.p.

The most technical aspects of the increased output are from customized throttle valves, a modified intake system, new valve springs, valve heads made of titanium steel (we are not sure what they mean by that as the intake valves are already titanium), and a specially designed camshaft (reference: supercars.net).

Just about everything else consists of quality bolt on parts. There is an aftermarket high flow intake (including an oversize 100mm airflow meter), headers, cat back exhaust, and high flow catalytic converters. Most of the exhaust is stainless steel. The chip is also reprogrammed.

Power is put down to the pavement with upgraded shock absorbers, and 10x18 black alloy wheels with 275/35 ZR18 tires in the front, and 12x19 black alloy wheels with 325/30 ZR19 tires on the rear.

Elsewhere, the tire wheel combination is described as having 10.5Jx19 front rims with 285/30 ZR 19 tires, and 13Jx20 rear rims with 345/25 ZR 20 tires, so there may be variations.

The total conversion price, for the unit described, is said to be 13,999.00 EUR = 20,553.15 USD.

Also, there are other stages (levels of modification) available for the Corvette Z06 (and other models). They go from basically stock onto and beyond the engine, wheel, suspension, and body work package we described here. So, the package described is just one way to spec out a Geiger Car Corvette.
