tuningblog.eu Your magazine about tuning the car
The Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06 (presented - one year after the C7 Stingray - on January 13, 2014) especially for the trip to the Rennzecke ideal is actually already clear at the sight. The facts speak for themselves with 659PS. In 3,8 seconds it defies rear-wheel drive at 100km / h and only at impressive 315km / h is the end. But to make a good figure on the racetrack at least a subtle tuning is needed. And what first thought comes to mind when you dive into the subject of tuning? For the masses, including myself, are the sporty sound-strong exhaust, lowered chassis and of course a significantly increased performance (Chiptuning etc.) are high on the list of priorities. Tuning also means that the vehicle should receive a highly personal touch. The viewing angle of each individual vehicle owner is just as individual. Although statistics are mostly incidental, they should not be underestimated. After all, we are talking here of 60% of all Tuningbegeisterten who first granted their car a new set of wheels and later dealt with the further measures such as chip tuning, etc. In comparison, the dimensions of the replaced rims are at least 1 inches above the sizes of the factory-original rims.
Lightweight rims & lowering
The often extremely price-intensive investment hardly leaves any deterrent marks because it actually pays off in retrospect and the design of the car is then presented in a remarkably new shine. Decisive for the highly frequented exchange of the wheel sets is, among other things, the mass suitability of the serial rims, which are often presentable. However, the manufacturer orients itself more towards the large target groups and less towards the individualists. On top of that, the rim selection is made using the manufacturer's configurator and that was of course also the case with this white Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06.
If you put together your vehicle using a configurator, there is ultimately hardly any space for an unmistakable uniqueness. However, there is still a possibility to swim against the current and to be able to detach yourself from the general public. Plan B of the owner of the Z06 includes a look at the range of HRE Performance Wheels. Thanks to the perfect combination, the jewel is now presented even better with a lightweight wheel set of the type HRE R101 and, thanks to the semi-slick tires, also made fit for the racetrack. The additional modifications that can be seen in the pictures, such as the lowering, make the production model an impressive eye-catcher. The Z06 also owes the newly gained dynamics and the even sportier driving feel to the R101 wheelset. No wonder, because the rims from HRE are not only known in tuner circles for their first-class quality and, above all, for an exquisite range of products. With these respectable alternatives, the standard wheelsets are quickly overshadowed by the new rims. Further information on tuning measures carried out on the Z06 can only be found in the photos and what the tuner has published.
