Corvette Aluminum Valve Covers

Z06/GS Front Drilled Rotors

Check out these OE replacement Corvette Z06/GS Front & Rear Drilled Rotors for the demanding Corvette enthusiast – you’re only going to find them at Zip! C6 Z06 & Grand Sport Corvette Two-Piece Drilled Front Brake Rotors are proudly built and assembled in the USA. They feature a heavy-duty Coleman Racing drilled rotor with black anodized 6061 T6 milled aluminum hats. Coleman Racing is synonymous with NASCAR, Desert Race Trucks and more. And our billet hats are CNC machined and then hard coated to provide a superior long-lasting finish. The fasteners are NAS bolts and nuts, same as used in aircraft and spacecraft production. The end result is superior stopping power with a weight savings of 30+ pounds over factory rotors.

Z06/GS Rear Drilled Rotors

Our new C6 Z06 & Grand Sport Two-Piece Drilled Rear Brake Rotors weigh in at 14.25 lbs. each compared to 20.5 lbs. to a stock rotor. That is a weight savings of 6.25 lbs per rotor. Using the standard ratio of 1 pound of un-sprung weight is equal to 6 pounds of overall weight that would be equivalent to 75 pounds of weight off the car. That is a significant difference in acceleration for just a set of rotors!

Note:13″ rotors are designed for C6 Z06 & GrandSport Corvettes. These rotors includes a provision to use the factory parking brake assembly.

DiabloSport takes extensive care in providing it’s customers with the most powerful, efficient, and warranty-safe tuning available. The Trinity’s tuning options vary depending on the vehicle that is being tuned. The DiabloSport Trinity also supports custom tuning and can hold an additional 5 custom tunes. The Trinity contains the most adjustable parameters in the market.

With over 100MB of on-board memory devoted solely to recording and playing back diagnostic PID/DMR data, it allows users to record hours and hours of continuous data streams directly from the vehicle’s PCM/ECM. The Trinity interprets PID and DMR data received from the OBD-II Diagnostic port on your Corvette and converts it into a readable format: A Virtual Gauge! Individual user customization is one of Trinity’s most recognizable features. With Trinity’s dynamic gauge layout, there is literally an infinite number of combinations/customization of gauges to view! Users can even set up gauge alarms and shift points based on precise vehicle data, using the Trinity’s LED lights.

Using parameters such as vehicle speed, peak torque, wheel speed and others, the Trinity is able to accurately compute quarter mile, 1/8 mile or 0-60 and 0-100 time trials. Keep in mind that these numbers may or may not be accurate depending on variables, but they sure are fun to see! The Trinity’s virtual tree allows users to choose to either monitor their reaction time (like the real world) or have the tree start when they press the gas from a stop. There are advantages to both!

Trinity can also be used as a diagnostic code reader. Save yourself hundreds of dollars each year by reading/clearing your own computer codes rather than paying a Chevrolet Corvette dealer to do the same. It’s as easy as a few simple steps. The DiabloSport Trinity’s diagnostic code reader function can be used on multiple vehicles at any given time.
