One of the best story lines coming out of the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year has been the inclusion of the Garage 56 Camaro ZL1 NASCAR racer fielded by Hendrick Motorsports. While the car is competing as an exhibition and is in a class all of its own, the team is taking the challenge very seriously.
The exhaust system is a critical part of your Corvette’s performance. Its main job is to transport those nasty spent gasses out of the engine as quickly as possible.
