Almost a year after the C6-based [COLOR=black! important][FONT=Helvetica, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif][COLOR=black! important][FONT=Helvetica, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]Corvette[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] GTR from Specter Werkes was first unveiled the Michigan-based performance house has released an updated version of the modified supercar that is on sale now. A unique and flamboyant interpretation of the Corvette's basic shape, the Specter Werkes GTR mixes custom bodywork with a distinctly American take on supercar muscle.
The addition of a custom cam [COLOR=black! important][FONT=Helvetica, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif][COLOR=black! important][FONT=Helvetica, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]design[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] with more lift has liberated an extra 80hp (60kW) over the outgoing model, bringing output to a grand total of 615hp (459kW) and 578lb-ft (783Nm) of torque.
The company says many levels of engine tune will be available, but this package is based on a stroked LS3 that sees displacement lifted from 6.2L to 6.8L. The vehicle is also fitted with a Corsa [COLOR=black! important][FONT=Helvetica, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif][COLOR=black! important][FONT=Helvetica, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]exhaust[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] and gets full widebody treatment, with broadened suspension and a wider covering.

Like the last version, the Corvette GTR upgrade carries a base price of $34,995, with more custom work available for a premium.
All GTRs are custom-built to order and carry documentation and identification to that effect. Importantly, the upgrades are available across the Corvette range, including the base Coupe, new Grand Sport, Z06 and even the ZR1.
