[RIDES] Rick's 2015 Corvette Z06


Old meets new in this photo of Rick’s 2015 Corvette Z06 in front of a historic brick house built back in the mid-1880s in Frankfort, Indiana.

Rick’s Corvette Racing Yellow Z06 Convertible is nicely upgraded with a Halltech carbon fiber induction system and an Akrapovic exhaust system with Corsa X-pipe. Those upgrades elevated the Z06’s performance to 631 rear wheel horsepower.

  2. Yes, but this figure is probably from a “real world” dump pull. I believe that manufacturers rate SAE horsepower, based on test stand figures, with useable Street HP being considerably less! A Z51 C7 rated@450hp by GM might only produce 350 on the street.

  3. 650 horsepower is at the engine. Rear wheel horsepower is measured by the dyno and you can generally count on a 15% loss of horsepower from the engine to the rear wheels. When first Z06 came out, a bunch hit the dyno to see these numbers. The link below shows one test where a bone stock Z06 measured 585 RWHP.

    So Rick’s upgrades netted him somewhere around 46 rwhp if his car’s base dyno was similar.
