Romeo Ferraris' carbon fiber, 667 hp Corvette Z06

The Corvette Z06 you see here is not your average 'vette. This much is obvious from first sight, as the unpainted carbon fiber body panels can attest. No, this Z06 has been built by an Italian tuning firm known as Romeo Ferraris, one that is better known for foreign iron.

RF not only added the carbon fiber panels to ensure a wicked look and less weight, they also performed some additional modifications so it can keep up with big brother ZR1. A supercharger adorns the top of the 7.0 liter LS7, resulting in 667hp and 607 lb-ft of torque. 62mph comes in 3.3 seconds and top speed is 211 mph.

Additional modifications include a centrifugal compressor, high flow injectors, aluminum intercooler, and custom exhaust. Brakes are massive 380mm/6-pot on the front and 345/4-pot on the back.

Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 gets its own commercial

One of the cars that doesn't really need to be advertised is the much beloved Chevrolet Corvette. For decades it has been the consummate American sports car, an icon that needs no introduction. But a little bit of showing off never hurts, as demonstrated by this ad.

The commercial ran during the Major League Baseball All-Star game this week, perhaps to remind America that Chevrolet, baseball, and, um, rockets are as American as apple pie. It features the ZR1, a car that deserves to brag a little on its world beating performance. Check out the video via YouTube.
