Who ever had the possibility to drive a Corvette Z06 never complained about the engine power for sure. After all, the US- American sport-car-icon is already powered by a series seven-liter-V8 engine with 512 hp. Even expert drivers should be careful behind the wheel of this steam hammer, novice drivers should definitely not get behind the wheel of the Z06. Only a madman would want to increase the output of this fast car significant. Karl Geiger from Munich is such a madman.

INDIANAPOLIS – In 1997, when John Middlebrook served as Chevrolet’s general manager, he said: “Corvette is now, and will continue to remain Chevrolet’s flagship. It is our technological and image showcase. Even more importantly, Corvette stands as the most singularly dramatic example of what we mean by ‘Genuine Chevrolet.’ Corvette is much more than just a car. It’s a love affair. Words alone fail to convey the passion it inspires.”
Just 11 years later, Middlebrook, who retired July 1 as GM
