2017 C7 Z06 Convertible 1200+whp Hood Closed Grudge Race Car
This one doesn’t need to say much—because it doesn’t show much. Our 2017 C7 Z06 Convertible is a 1,200+whp hood-closed grudge car built for one purpose: show up, line up, and leave no questions. What looks like a composed, almost understated package hides a fully developed combination engineered to deliver violent, repeatable performance without the theatrics. Every component has been selected and refined to work in silence—no unnecessary attention, no wasted motion, just execution when it counts. We don’t build many like this, and if you need validation before the hit, this probably isn’t your car.

Proven Numbers
This 2017 C7 Z06 Convertible was engineered as a 1200+ WHP hood-closed grudge platform, where consistency and repeatability are just as critical as peak output. On the dyno, the combination delivers over 1,200 wheel horsepower, supported by a fully optimized LT4 setup integrating high-efficiency forced induction, upgraded fueling systems, and precise calibration control. Special attention was given to thermal management, boost stability, and torque delivery to ensure the car performs reliably with the hood closed — maintaining clean airflow and consistent operating conditions. The dyno data reflects a stable, controlled power curve designed for real-world grudge racing conditions, where predictable performance and repeatable results define the difference.
