2015 Chevrolet Corvette vs Nissan GT-R: Which One Is Boss? - Gazette Dubai

The California Highway Patrol is changing to Ford Explorers and because of that the Ford SUV looks threatening in everyone’s mirrors. And using the excuse: “But officer, it’s hard to say how fast we were going because the numbers on the digital display were flickering by in clumps of threes and fives” probably isn’t going to work for you. The red vehicle in our candy-colored fleet is the most powerful Corvette that the people of Bowling Green, Kentucky have ever produced. A 650-hp 6. 2-liter supercharged V-8 dubbed LT4 produces 195 more horsepower than the normal Stingray. Here’s a bit of historical information for you: The majority of 1979 Corvettes made a total of 195 horsepower. The Z06 engine’s extra stonk comes from forged pistons with a 10. 0:1 compression ratio, a supercharger blowing 9. 4 psi of boost, direct fuel injection and a variable valve timing with titanium intake valves. Using that gear the Corvette is able to produce some of the best numbers that this magazine has ever seen and the Z07 option allows the Corvette to compete up against vehicles which come at double the price. At a price of $195,175 it is nearly twice as much as the Corvette. Source: www.gazettedubai.com
