If you are adding a significant amount of horsepower to your C6 Corvette then our new C6 ZR1 Corvette Clutch Assembly should be your next investment. The stock clutch used on 2005-2010 C6 Corvettes works great and should not need replacing until you begin increasing the power that the already potent LS2, LS3 and LS7 Corvette engines produce. When you start doing that, you will need and want this new clutch.
What GM and Sachs have done with the ZR1 is designed a factory clutch that is capable of handling over 800 horsepower while still offering the drivability expected of a new C6 Corvette. Originally only available for the C6 ZR1 Corvette, you can now install the best factory clutch ever to be in a Corvette with our ZR1 Corvette clutch assembly. Our clutch kit includes the OEM ZR1 pressure plate and disk, new throw out bearing and slave cylinder, new billet steel flywheel and the necessary flywheel and pressure plate mounting hardware.
C6 ZR1 Corvette Clutch Assembly
“Can I use the ZR1 clutch in my base C6 or Z06?” Yes! We have made it possible to bolt the ZR1 clutch to any LS2, LS3 or LS7 Corvette. Our new Corvette Steel Flywheel for 2005-2010 includes six bolt holes as opposed to nine on the ZR1, which allows it to be bolted to the crankshaft on any C6 Corvette including the Z06. The steel flywheel, also sold separately, is made from billet steel by the original ZR1 flywheel manufacturer and has been tested in excess of 12,000 rpm. You should know that it is only compatible with the ZR1 Corvette Clutch Assembly.
So if you are tired of your Corvette’s clutch slipping, or on the flip side you can’t enjoy driving your Corvette because it seems that the clutch has an on/off switch, consider our new clutch assembly. With a bolt on installation, all necessary components and hardware your Corvette will be capable of holding huge amounts of horsepower while maintaining a smooth ride.
The Corsa Xtreme exhaust system for C6 Corvettes is now available with Corsa’s popular quad 4″ pro series exhaust tips. Only available with quad 3.5″ exhaust tips in the past, we now have the new C6 Corvette Corsa Xtreme Exhaust Systems in stock and ready to ship today.
Not familiar with the Corsa Xtreme Exhaust System? Here are some of the features that make it a true standout of aftermarket Corvette Exhaust.
4″ stainless steel pro series tips
Made of 100% premium grade 304 stainless steel
Increase of up to 12hp and 13ft-lbs of torque
Straight through non restrictive 2.5″ system for maximum airflow
Mandrel bends increase airflow by 35% over stock exhaust
For years now Corsa Exhaust Systems have been a leader in aftermarket exhaust. Their ability to combine performance gains plus great sound without creating interior drone is one of the major reasons C4, C5, & C6 Corvette owners swap their factory exhaust with a Corsa Exhaust. So how does Corsa design and manufacture a near perfect exhaust system? Their patented RSC (Reflective Sound Cancellation) Technology is a huge reason why.
Each Corsa Corvette Exhaust System is acoustically engineered to eliminate the specific frequencies that create “drone”. Using aerospace based technology, sound waves are targeted, reflected and eliminated without impeding air flow or sacrificing horsepower, yet still delivering the sound to fit your Corvette. The diagram below shows how Corsa’s RSC technology reflects and cancels the unwanted sounds while the airflow remains unrestricted.
Corsa Reflective Sound Cancellation Technology
The Exclusive patented RSC Muffler design delivers a bold, unique sound under throttle that defines your Corvette on the open road. But inside, you experience the quite ride, where you can use your cell phone or listen to the radio. The patented RSC Muffler design features a straight through design that incorporates a full 360-degree air gap that sends targeted sound waves to specifically engineered channels. The waves are then returned to the gap 180-degrees out-of-phase, cancelling the specific “drone” creating frequencies. All that remains is the bold rumble that is the true voice of performance.
Corsa Exhaust Muffler vs. Stock Exhaust Muffler
The three exhuast systems that have made Corsa a top name in the Corvette industry include the touring, sport, and xtreme exhaust systems. Though each system has its very own distinct sound, every touring, sport and xtreme system manufactured includes their patented RSC technology. The Corsa Touring Corvette Exhaust is reserved but distinctive. The touring system offers a sound that is just a notch above stock and is perfect if you are going to add other major horsepower modifications to your Corvette such as headers, to keep the sound blended perfectly at cruise. A step up from the touring is the Corsa Sport Corvette Exhaust. The sport system is robust and bold with sound levels that offer Corsa’s famous growl when on the throttle. The sport system is perfect for those who want to be noticed on acceleration or when passing, but delivers the perfect cabin experience. This system is ideal for Corvettes with other moderate performance modifications such as air intakes. A step up from the sport system is the aggressive and deep Corsa Xtreme Corvette Exhaust. Sound levels as high as what this system offers are found on most race inspired Corvettes as the xtreme system offers the biggest sound with a deep throaty growl.
For quality off the charts, superior strength, unsurpassed craftsmanship, near- infinite customization and, oh yeah, stunning looks, there is no Corvette wheel finer than Forgeline. Forgeline 3-Piece Wheels are made of 6061 T6 true forged centers sandwiched by 6061 T6 spun rim halves and assembled using aircraft-grade hardware. All wheels are built to order, so individual requests for special colors, optional fasteners, etc. are welcome and easily accommodated.
We offer two different styles of Forgeline wheels for C5 & C6 Corvettes. The first set consists of Forgeline Premier Series Corvette Wheels. A standout on the street – and the show circuit, our Forgeline premier wheels come standard with a fully polished outer lip and your choice of powder coated center wheel in Silver, Gloss Black, Matte Black, Gunmetal or Matte finish Titanium. The inner rim shell is available powder coated (see our Forgeline Options for more information) and grade 8 stainless steel piston head torx bolts are used throughout. For C5 Corvettes, the Forgeline premier series wheels are available in 18″x9.5″ and 19″x11″ or 19″x9.5″ and 20″x11″. The base C6 Wheel sizes include 19″x9.5″ and 20″x11″ while the Z06, ZR1, & Grand Sport sizes run 19″x10″ and 20″x12.5″.
Though every Forgeline wheel is built to meet the rigors of track use, the Forgeline Competition Series raises the bar just that much higher. The competition wheels are three pounds lighter than the Forgeline premier series wheels. They include a stepped lip that offers muscular looks and greater load capabilities. Each Forgeline competition wheel comes with a fully polished outer lip and powder coated center wheel in Silver, Gloss Black, Matte Black, Gunmetal or Matte finish Titanium. Each inner rim shell is available powder coated (see our Forgeline Options for more information). Forgeline Competition Series Corvette Wheels are available for C5 & C6 Corvettes. The C5 sizes include 18″x10″ front wheels and 18″x12″ rear wheels while the C6 includes 18″x10″ fronts and 18″x11″ rears for the non Z06, ZR1 or Grand Sport. If you are upgrading to the Z06, ZR1 or Grand Sport size wheels because you have upgraded your Corvettes Body Panels, or you are wheel shopping for your Z06, ZR1 or Grand Sport Corvette and you would like a wheel that is going to last, then we have Forgeline competition series wheels available in 19″x10″ and 20″x12.5″, which will be perfect for showing, racing, tracking, or autocrossing your Corvette.
A great advantage to buying Forgeline multi piece wheels is that in most situations they can be repaired at far less than the cost of a new wheel. Even so, all Forgeline wheels come with a 3 year limited warranty that will cover defects in material or workmanship. Forgeline will repair or replace the wheel(s) upon inspection if they determine that the probelm is related to materials or workmanship. Read more about their warranty here.

The original “StetchBra” cloth Corvette Front Bumper Mask is tailored for an exact fit and is available in a choice of colors for your C4, C5 or C6 Corvette. The mask is convenient to use, easy to clean (hand or machine washable) and comes with a pocket-size storage bag which will fit in your Corvette’s storage compartments. Unlike other cheap Corvette nose masks our masks are Made in the USA and include a Lifetime Warranty. They are made of a polyester knit to get that great fit, without any gaps or warping even at high-speeds. The revolutionary material allows air to flow through, providing a clean look to your Corvette’s front end while protecting your Corvette’s finish from bugs and road grime. Its super soft material will not harm your Corvette’s paint.
The base model C6 Corvette Front Bumper Nose Mask, like the Grand Sport or Z06/ZR1 masks, installs easily in less than 30 minutes. Each “StretchBra” mask attaches with retaining clips across the hood opening area and snaps in the wheel well area. Once the snaps are installed the mask can be fitted to your Corvette in just minutes. A built-in stretch cord in the bottom of the mask pulls tight providing the clean, snug fit that can not be replicated with any other material.
For improved cooling efficiency, Z06 & ZR1 Corvette cloth bumper masks can be installed on Grand Sport Corvettes. The Z06 mask features a “screened opening” to improve airflow and reduce the potential for overheating problems common with Z06 Corvettes. While not required for Grand Sport Corvettes, the Z06/ZR1 mask will install without any modifications.
The “StretchBra” front bumper cloth masks are also available for C4 and C5 Corvettes. The masks fit all C4 and C5 Corvettes including the ZR-1, Grand Sport and C5 Z06. Installation and care of these bumper masks are just as simple as they are on the C6.
To show how simple the installation of these nose masks are we have included step-by-step instructions that show how to install the C6 Z06/ZR1 Corvette (Grand Sport if desired) Front Bumper “Stretch Bra” Cloth Nose Mask on a 2007 Z06…
Step 1
Remove the five (5) screws that attach the ground affects/fender liner to the front fender of your Corvette. Repeat for both the left and right side.
Step 2
Replace the ten (10) torx head screws with the ten (10) snap screws that are supplied with the front bumper mask. Repeat for both the left and right side.
Step 3a
Attach the snaps on one end of the nose mask to the inside of your Corvette’s fender (Note: The top of the mask has plastic retainer clips). Pull the bottom of the mask under the front bumper and stretch the mask across the bumper.
Step 3b
Attach the snaps on the opposite end of the mask to the inside of the opposite fender. Be sure that the bottom of the mask remains under the front bumper.
Step 4a
Anchor the top of the mask inside the engine compartment with the plastic clips. The two inner clips will attach just under the hood seal in the vertical position.
Step 4b
The two outer clips will attach on each end of the bumper mounting bracket in the horizontal position. Be sure to attach the outer clips to the edge of the mounting bracket as shown to keep the mask stretched tight.
Step 4c
Here you can see one of the inner clips has been attached to the bumper mount bracket. Make sure that each clip rivet is pulled away from the hood before moving on.
Step 4d
Here you can see both inner clips attached in the vertical position to the bumper mount bracket. Each clip rivet is inside the engine compartment allowing for hood clearance when closing.
Step 5
Place the Velcro strip supplied with the mask under your Corvette to mate up with the Velcro strip on the bottom of the mask. Attach the six clips in the center of the mask to the grill to complete installation.
After the front bumper mask has been installed check to be sure that all snaps are fastened securely and all clips are attached properly. It is not recommended to leave the front bumper mask on for extended periods of time. The mask may be cleaned by hand or machine washed in a laundry bag with a mild detergent (no bleach).
Too often uncomfortably tight Corvette Seat Belts cause us to jeopardize our own safety and the safety of others in our Corvettes just because the seat belt is difficult to buckle up. The new 12″ seat belt extensions simply snap into your existing seat belt buckle giving you the extra space you need to wear your seat belt comfortably. There are currently two different styles of Corvette Seat Belt Extenders available for 1969-1996 Corvette owners and C6 Corvette owners.
The C6 Corvette DiabloSport Predator Programmer is a state-of-the art, high performance tuning flash programmer in a sleek handheld design. Once connected to your C6, Z06, or Grand Sport Corvette, the Predators internal computer recognizes the PCM and automatically picks the proper tuning files designed specifically for that PCM. Inside the Predator’s memory are the actual tuning files that optimize spark timing and air/fuel ratio curves. Unlike other “tuners”, the DiabloSport Predator programming is performed in very small increments throughout the entire RPM range, for a smoother, wider and more predictable power delivery. DiabloSport engineers spend many hours on the dyno, street, and track to ensure the tunes provided with the Predator are the best they can possibly be for your Corvette.
Installing a DiabloSport tune on your Corvette using the Predator Programmer is simple and only takes a few minutes. You should know that the very first time the predator is used on your Corvette it will automatically create a backup of the original factory tune. If your Corvette has previously been tuned you should proceed with caution as serious engine damage can occur if the Predator tune is installed over a non-factory or aftermarket tune. We recommend having a Chevrolet dealer reflash your Corvettes ECU (Engine Control Unit) to its original settings so there will be no possibility of damage to your Corvette.
Before starting to install the tune be sure that your Corvette is parked and the engine is off. All doors must be closed and all electrical accessories must remain off. To install the tune, plug the Predator into the diagnostic port. The predator will recognize the vehicle and then give the options of performance tune, diagnostics, or options; select performance tune by pressing the continue key. After reading the disclaimer you can now turn the ignition on being sure not to start the vehicle. Next highlight the type of tune you would like to install and follow all prompts to turn the ignition on and off. While the tune is being written, be sure not to interrupt the process or ECM damage can occur. Once completed, you simply unplug the Predator and cycle the key to start your Corvette’s engine. The predator also contains several DiabloSport tunes that have been tested and approved by their engineers. You can install your choice tune as is or you may customize the tune to meet your wants and needs.
If you are planning on having your Corvette serviced it is recommended that you restore your Corvette back to the stock tune. This can be done at any time using the restore feature on the Predator. No need to worry if you have customized the tune as it will be saved for future use.
All C6 Corvette DiabloSport Predator Programmers come with a manufacturers two year warranty that covers defects in materials or workmanship. Be sure to Register Your Predator Programmer to take advantage of the warranty as well as other benefits including tech support, software update notifications, product benefits, monthly giveaways and more.
In January we introduced the C6 Corvette Sprint Booster Power Converter to all of our customers. The Sprint Booster, which offered outstanding throttle response improvements over the stock C6 Corvette setup has since be redesigned and is now available for both automatic and manual equipped C6, Z06, ZR1, and Grand Sport Corvettes. The key addition to the redesigned Sprint Booster is the ability to choose from three different acceleration programs; stock, acceleration program one, and acceleration program two. With the stock setting, your Corvette will perform as it did before the Sprint Booster was ever installed on the car. Step it up a notch with acceleration program one and now you will see an improved throttle response ideal for moderately aggressive driving. If program one isn’t enough switch your Corvette’s Sprint Booster to acceleration program two and be prepared for an even greater throttle response that is recommended for aggressive driving.
C6 Corvette Sprint Booster Installed
The C6 Corvette Sprint Booster Power Converter comes from the factory set to acceleration program two. You will know that the Sprint Booster is set on program two by a red LED indicator light that will appear on the switch. By simply pressing the button once you can switch back to the factory settings (LED light turns off) and once more will activate acceleration program one (LED light turns green). Once the desired program is set you can either leave the switch connected to the Sprint Booster, which will allow for quick program changes or remove the switch entirely. The Sprint Booster is designed to be able to adjust on the fly so you can cycle through the different acceleration programs while driving. This is the advantage you lose if the switch is removed. Be aware that you should not change programs with the Corvette’s accelerator pedal depressed because the behavior of the accelerator pedal will be instantly changed.
Installation of the Sprint Booster and switch requires double sided tape and a single tie wrap that is included in the box. Simply insert the Sprint Booster into the accelerator pedal, plug the switch into the white socket of the Sprint Booster, mount the switch on the dash using the double sided tape, and secure the excess wire so it will not interfere with your foot or motion of the pedals. Detailed instructions are also included in the box.
The Sprint Booster is not designed to add horsepower to your Corvette but it will increase the throttle response allowing for much quicker acceleration out of turns or from a stop. With one installed, you can count on faster lap times at the track or better reaction times at the drag strip.
C6 Corvette Sprint Booster features and advantages include:
The top Corvette Floor & Cargo Mat manufacturer; Lloyd Mats, is now producing C6 Corvette Floor & Cargo Mats that feature the Jake skull of Corvette Racing. The new floor & cargo mats are available in ebony or cashmere with silver or yellow Jake logos. They can be purchased with a single Jake skull logo, Jake logo plus the ” Corvette” script, or the Jake logo paired with the “Corvette Racing” script. Whichever design you choose you can count on it to add style and attitude to your Corvette’s Interior while also protecting your Corvette’s carpet. The authenticity and craftsmanship included with a new set of Lloyd Corvette Floor Mats or Cargo Mats combined with the fact that they are an official licensed product of GM results in a high quality mat that truly looks and fits like a factory option.
