| CORVETTE BY POGEA RACING |
"This Corvette unites classic automobile design in balance with the latest in modern vehicle technology." exclaims Eduard Pogea, head of POGEA RACING GmbH, and continues
"Within the space of only one year we developed, produced and adapted current technology to fit in an American Old timer. Our objective was to marry contemporary driving characteristics, a terrifically powerful engine, dependable brakes and a refined vehicle interior with classic bodywork."
Powered by a 6.2-litre V8 engine based on a Corvette LS3 engine with extra components the car shows an increased performance of an impressive 485 HP / 357 kW at 4400 rpm and 585
Nm at 6200 rpm. This engine is mated to a a manual 5-shift gearbox with ceramic clutch and a Dana 44 differential and runs through a 45-millimetre diameter Edelbrock exhaust manifolds coupled with a stainless steel exhaust system with only 2 silencers. The chassis consists of an in-house tube frame manufactured in cooperation with Foose Design in the USA.
Besides LS7 fuel injectors, aggressive camshafts and a direct, open intake with tip cone filter, and the exhaust flow, all was tuned to optimum level. With these modifications, the completely tuned Classic runs 0 - 100 kms/h in a mere 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 288 kms/h.
It features a sports brake system taken from the Corvette LS5 with perforated, internally ventilated brake discs , sized 330 mm (front) and 300 mm (rear), actuated at the front by six-piston and at the rear by four-piston callipers. Its 3-part POGEA RACING wheels, 9.5Jx18 at the front and 12Jx19 on the rear axle, houses Bridgestone Potenza 265/40 R 18 and 305/30 R 19 tyres
Rear wheel-wells are widened to 2.09 metres, about 37 centimetres increase, by doubling the original mudguards, and are equipped with 4 LED rear light clusters and the exterior is painted in the original Ferrari colours, Rosso and Bianco
Red and white also dominate the vehicle interior which is a combination of carpeting and smooth leather. A Vallelunga steering wheel with flattened lower rim and seats out of the Cobra ensure more legroom compared to the standard interior. Together with an Alpine multi-media system including satnav, a retro-fitted AC unit and servo-steering, POGEA upgraded almost all of the car's electronics to prepare the Corvette for reliable use
