First Drive: Superformance Corvette Grand Sport
Between Superformance and Shelby American there is no shortage of great
Grand Sports, GT40s, Cobras, Cobra 289 FIA and Cobra Daytona Coupes
Even in the rarified, no-necked, hairy-backed world of ultimate muscle cars
and the men who love them, the Corvette Grand Sport is exalted. Rumble
and growl all you want about your Cobras, your GT40s and your whateverthe-hell-else you think is the ultimate road brute, but the Corvette Grand
Sport just might crush them all.
We say this because we just drove one. No, sadly, not one of the original
five Corvette Grand Sports made by the great Zora Arkus-Duntov.
Those are all in private hands, lovingly cared for and even occasionally
brought out to a track event here and there. The responsibility of driving one
of those would be like having to juggle a handful of Faberge eggs, or
reframe the Mona Lisa – you wouldn’t want to make a mistake. No, we
drove a remarkably close replica made by Superformance and provided to us
by Superformance authorized dealer Hillbank Motor Corporation in Irvine,
Calif.
You may have heard of the Grand Sport. Back in the early ‘60s it seemed
America’s sports car, the Corvette, was being beaten regularly by America’s
other sports car, the Shelby Cobra. GM, despite the official ban on
motorsports, wanted to do something about it. So with a secret budget in a
secret garage somewhere in a secret Warren, Michigan basement, Corvette
chief engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov got to work.
First thing was to lighten it up.
The new car was even called “The Lightweight.” The stock Corvette
weighed about a thousand pounds more than the Cobras that were beating it
so weight was the first thing to go. Duntov replaced cast iron and steel
components throughout the car with aluminum and magnesium parts
wherever possible, and replaced the steel cage with an aluminum cage on
which he hung thinner fiberglass body panels.
Legend is you could see through them. The Lightweight then weighed about
1,300 pounds less than a stock 'Vette.
Then he added more power. The first Grand Sport of the five, #001, got a
360-hp fuel-injected 327 V8. Eventually Grand Sports ran 377 cubic-inch
aluminum small blocks with four side draft Weber's all good for 550 hp.
Then they started beating the Cobras, and Corvette fans across the nation
cheered.

First Drive: Superformance Corvette Grand Sport
The glory of the Grand Sport lasted only a couple years before rules, racing
bans and progress ended their dominance. But to the Corvette Faithful, the
cognoscenti, the potential future buyers Superformance hopes are out there?
What years they were.
Now you can relive the glory of that era. You can be Roger Penske winning
at Nassau or Dr. Dick Thompson winning the SCCA Nationals at Watkins
Glen. The Superformance Grand Sport - one of the best arguments for the
new small-volume manufacturer law - is built around an “original-style”
tube chassis with a lightweight fiberglass body all sliced up with vents and
louvers to get all that air out and make it go faster.
Of the five originals this replica looks most like #003, with side exhausts,
wide fender flares to accommodate nine-inch-wide tires and even the rear
differential cooler mounted on the rear deck. The deep blue paint and white
racing stripe finish it off.
Since it’s technically a kit, it’s sold minus the engine and transmission for
$99,900. Owners can put in whatever powertrain they want. Ours had a
mighty Katech LS3 making 550 h.p. mated to a five-speed manual trans. In
the parking lot of Hillbank Motor Corporation in Irvine, Calif, 3,000 miles
from Nassau, we clambered in.
The Grand Sport is crude, yes, and brutal, of course, yet powerfully
glorious. Push the beefy, meaty clutch pedal down go on, push it you wimp!
All the way! This isn’t no Miata with “lightweight pedal action.”
There’s no damned bud vase in here. Fire the big bore bruiser under the
hood with a satisfying ker-whap! and listen to each explosion in each of the
eight cylinders. Whapwhapwhapwheeeeee… Put it in gear, let out the clutch
like it was some kind of weight machine at the gym where you’ve placed the
pin way too low and whoosh, you’re off. 1963 never felt so good.
The power comes on way down low on the tach. There’s no waiting politely
for turbos to spool up or VTEC to do some high-tech whatever.
All the power you will ever get all the power this nation will ever want is
right there on the right. Just step on it.
(Hey, are there any law enforcement personnel around?)

First Drive: Superformance Corvette Grand Sport
It has power steering so you get a little help getting around corners.
The rear transverse leaf spring suspension and front coil overs with Bilstein shocks keep the whole thing
in line at speed and in curves. But it is a lot of work. You are fully involved in the process of driving.
You have to be present and at work for this thing to go. There is no cruise control, no autonomous robotic
behavior nanny, no OnStar. There is only you and 550 h.p. from 1963.
We rumble back into the Hillbank parking lot a new man, ready to hunt down and eat a live buffalo or at
least operate a chainsaw. Instead, there are more cars.

#3 & #4 Corvette C7.R Finish 1-2 For Closest Class Finish
In Rolex 24 History
Gavin Edges Garcia To Win GTLM By Only 0.034 Seconds
For Corvette Racing, the question entering the 54th Rolex 24 At Daytona was simple: How do you top
2015? Last year, the team’s pair of Corvette C7.Rs won the Rolex 24, Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring
Fueled by Fresh from Florida in the GT Le Mans (GTLM) class and then the team won the 24 Hours of
Le Mans.
The answer was delivered Sunday in an epic 1-2 finish, with the 2015 Le Mans-winning No. 4 Corvette
C7.R of Oliver Gavin edging the 2015 Daytona and Sebring-winning No. 3 Corvette C7.R of Antonio
Garcia to the line by 0.034 seconds, the closest class finish in the history of the Rolex 24.
“What you saw today was simply the two best road racers in the world with the two best cars in the
world,” said Doug Fehan, Corvette Racing program manager. “You’d be hard pressed to find a better race
than this. You don’t spend 23.5 hours working this hard and not let those guys continue to race.”
Fehan assured Garcia once he moved into second that there would be no team orders. After that, the battle
for the win was on in the season-opening IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship race. Once he
shed the No. 912 Porsche 911 RSR of Earl Bamber to take second, Garcia set his sights on Gavin and the
two ran nose-to-tail over the final 20 minutes. With three minutes remaining, Garcia briefly passed Gavin
entering Turn 1, but ran wide, allowing Gavin to retake the position.
Garcia got a run coming out of the bus stop on the final lap, but came up just short in a drag race to the
stripe giving the win to Gavin and co-drivers Tommy Milner and Marcel Fassler. Garcia and co-drivers
Jan Magnussen and Mike Rockenfeller finished second, while Bamber rounded out the podium in the No.
912 Porsche North America entry along with Michael Christensen and Frederic Makowiecki.
“All I could think about was my boss, Doug Fehan and what he would say if we did touch,” said Gavin.
“Then on the last lap I was thinking I had just enough on him, but then he towed up behind me. It was
like the line was just going away from me. I couldn't get to the line fast enough. I've just seen a picture
of it, actually, and it was pretty close.”
NOTEBOOK
The race winners were also the round winners in the Tequila Patrón North American Endurance Cup.
The No. 4 Corvette Racing C7.R entry won the round with 13 points as the result of a tiebreaker over
the No. 3 Corvette C7.R and the two Porsche North America Porsche 911 RSRs.

Chevrolet to take two Corvettes
to race at Le Mans!
After 1-2 finish at Rolex 24, Corvettes to take on Le Mans
On the heels of a historic 1-2 class finish in the Rolex 24 at Daytona,
Corvette Racing learned Friday that its two Chevrolet Corvette C7.Rs have
been invited to this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is the 17th consecutive
season that two entries for Corvette Racing are part of the entry list for the
motorsports event.
As was the case a year ago, Corvette Racing will field the No. 63 and No. 64
Chevrolet Corvette C7.Rs in the 14-car GTE Pro class. In it, the team will
face a number of the same competitors as in the IMSA WeatherTech
Championship as well as entries from the FIA World Endurance
Championship. The full grid for Le Mans will be made up of 60 cars.
"Being invited to Le Mans always is a special honor for everyone at
Chevrolet and Corvette Racing, and we are fortunate to return as the GTE
Pro winner,” said Mark Kent, director, Chevrolet Motorsports Competition.
“Le Mans is where the best manufacturers compete in endurance racing's
toughest test -- a place we have won eight times. The Corvette Racing team
has a long history of success in long-distance events, evidenced by victories
like our win this year at the Rolex 24."
Corvette Racing has won eight times at Le Mans including a storybook
victory last year for Oliver Gavin, Tommy Milner and Jordan Taylor. They
are back together for a second straight season; Gavin and Milner lead the
IMSA GT Le Mans (GTLM) standings after their win at Daytona with
Marcel Fässler.
There will be new trio in the No. 63 Corvette C7.R Full-season teammates
Antonio Garcia and Jan Magnussen second at Daytona with Mike
Rockenfeller will drive with Ricky Taylor.
The two Corvettes will take to the 8.5-mile Circuit de la Sarthe for the first
time this year on June 5 as part of the annual Le Mans Test Day. The 24
Hours of Le Mans is scheduled for June 18-19.
The next event for Corvette Racing is the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring
Fueled by Fresh from Florida on March 16-19 from Sebring International
Raceway, where Corvette Racing also is the defending GTLM winner.

Camaro 1LE V6 heading for a track near you
Camaro handling package offered on V6 model for the first time.
Chevy is bringing back our favorite off-the-rack package for the 2017
Camaro. The track-capable 1LE will now be offered for both the SS and
V6-equipped LT version of the legendary pony car. Both will debut at the
Chicago Auto Show on Thursday.
The 1LE package can be spotted by its satin black hood and trim, specific
wheels and slightly bigger brakes on both V6 and V8 models. There are no
special logos, except on the brake calipers, which means the only way you’ll
recognize one of these is when it’s running away from you on-track which is
what it was built for.
“The Camaro 1LE packages follow a recipe any track-day enthusiast will
appreciate,” said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer. “Start with a
lightweight, stiff structure and then add higher levels of suspension stiffness
and damping, more aggressive tires, higher downforce, more powerful
brakes and more cooling. The result delivers better performance in all
measures.
“In our development tests, the V6 Camaro 1LE delivers lap times
comparable with the previous-gen V8 model.
The 2016 Camaro SS 1LE sets the new benchmark for the segment, lapping
the Big Willow track at Willow Springs three seconds faster than the
standard Camaro SS.”
The LT 1LE comes with the standard 335-hp V6, the FE3 suspension from
the SS including dampers, mounts, toe links and stabilizer bars, lightweight
wheels with Goodyear Eagle tires, four-piston Brembo brakes and a
mechanical limited-slip differential. Additionally, the 1LE gets extra
cooling, the dual-mode exhaust and a few other bits. Recaro seats and
Chevy’s Performance Data Recorder are optional.
The SS also sticks with stock output, which is rated at 455 h.p. and 455 lb.ft. Both 1LE cars come equipped with a six-speed manual as God intended.
The SS 1LE gets Magnetic Ride Control as well as an electronic limited-slip
differential, special wheels, Goodyear Eagle Supercar tires, as opposed to
the Asymmetrics on the V6, six-piston front Brembo brakes, track cooling
package and dual-mode exhaust along with the specific FE4 suspension
tuning. The Recaros on the SS are standard; the PDR is optional.

Callaway Reveals Camaro SC10
Callaway Cars unveiled its new 610hp 2016 Callaway Camaro to members
of the automotive media and enthusiast VIPs on Thursday. Debuting at a
private reception at Callaway's Santa Ana, Calif. factory, the SC610
displayed a number of technical accomplishments engineered by Callaway
and integrated into the new Camaro platform.
"We're very proud of 2016 Callaway Camaro SC610, which is our latest
offering," said Reeves Callaway, founder of Callaway Cars. "For 40 years,
we've earned our reputation through our engineering and competition
prowess. We've worked for the world's premier sports car manufacturers, so
it shouldn't be a surprise that the new Callaway Camaro is very powerful
and such a joy to drive. We designed this package for enthusiasts who want
race car performance with perfect daily drivability."
During the introduction, the Callaway team explained how the 2016
Callaway Camaro SC610 came into being.
"With Camaro's new 'Alpha' architecture, our engineers were able to
incorporate the Gen Three Supercharger that we originally developed for the
Callaway Corvette SC757," said Mike Zoner, Managing Director of
Callaway Cars. "We designed the Corvette system from a clean sheet of
paper, applying features to increase airflow quality and reduce charge air
temperature. Once we were able to adapt Gen Three for the new Camaro, we
produced dramatically more power without jeopardizing reliability."
The patented Gen Three supercharger system is the heart of the Callaway
Camaro SC610 package. Its 2300cc Eaton TVS rotor pack is configured to
force air upward into the supercharger housing. Power-robbing heat,
inherently produced by supercharging, is removed from the charge air via
convective cooling, as it flows through the supercharger housing. This effect
is amplified by extending the housing through the hood, exposing it to
ambient temperature. Conductive heat transfer is also utilized as the "Triple
Cooled" intercooler system includes one main and two additional intercooler
elements, conducting heat from the charge air for consistent power.
The Callaway Camaro SC610 package also includes a Callaway air inlet
system to further improve performance. To distinguish the Callaway
Camaro SC610, Callaway carbon fiber engine mid covers, an under hood
build plaque with VIN, interior and exterior badging, door sill panels, and
embroidered floor mats are included as standard equipment. Each Callaway
Camaro SC610 comes with an authenticity documentation package as well.

Callaway Reveals Camaro SC10
The Callaway Camaro SC610 is available with automatic or manual transmission, as a coupe or
convertible, through a network of Callaway Authorized Dealers. In addition, Callaway factory
salespeople can be contacted to assist prospects through the purchasing process.
Callaway Camaro SC610 MSRP starts at $54,290 (including the base Camaro SS), or at $16,995 as an
option on the automobile.
Callaway cars are specialist models, built on demand, with retail financing and warranty coverage. They
are sold as new cars through selected GM Dealerships. Callaway cars and trucks are assembled to precise
engineering specifications by expert technicians at Callaway facilities, exclusively. In addition, Callaway
provides the most comprehensive standard warranty among all specialty manufacturers.

Take delivery of your new Chevy at
Daytona International Speedway
Yes, it includes hot laps
Daytona International Speedway underwent a $400 million renovation over
the last few years which makes this the perfect time to take a few laps.
What’s that? You’re not part of Hendrick Motorsports? No worries,
Chevrolet has you covered -- buyers can now take delivery at the famous
track.
“The Chevrolet Delivery Center is the type of elevated experience that
guests visiting Daytona International Speedway come to expect,” Daytona
International Speedway President Joie Chitwood III said.
“This new offering complements the enhancements already made to the
‘World Center of Racing’ through the $400 million DAYTONA Rising
redevelopment project. We’re looking forward to witnessing that first
delivery later this year.”
Chevy buyers have long been able to get Corvettes delivered at the National
Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. That $990 option also
includes a tour. Pricing hasn’t been revealed for Daytona delivery yet, but
we’ll let you know as soon we find out. Expect the first slots to be available
in late 2016.
