Our 2001 C500/RSR is nearing completion and I wanted to leak out some of our performance enhances due on this car.

First, in an effort to offer many types of exhaust systems with this car we felt it necessary to relocate the coolers for the transmission and the differential. Originally they were located where the stock mufflers are, but we have moved them in front of the rear wheels and are utilizing the Z06 ducting system for airflow

Second, we have a new clutch upgrade from McCloud that will increase the reliability and clamping force required for a 500+hp engine.

Third, new modifications in the suspensions spring rates and shock valving enhance racetrack performance while still maintaining a comfortable ride on the street.

Lastly, we are working on horsepower and torque increases and so far the results are looking incredible! Horsepower will be well over 500hp and torque is up with maximum torgue coming in at lower RPM's than before. This new RSR will be a real wicked machine! I challenge anybody to find a more complete performance package for the money!
