Sign up to receive exclusive communications about offerings, events and news, TRANSMISSION: PPG 6-speed sequential transmission TURBO: Garrett G35-900 twin turbochargers With its American muscle under the hood, twin Garrett turbos whistling proudly, and threatening whine of the transmission’s straight-cut gears, Qartoumy has built an epic Time Attack Corvette Z06 that sounds like the apocalypse is near when it’s running and still looks terrifyingly fast even when it’s sitting still. Competing in GTA as well as Grid Life, his grip-hungry beast has obliterated the competition multiple times over by setting an impressive eight records and earning more podium placings. While racing at the famous Circuit of the Americas course in Texas in 2020, Qartoumy easily won his Global Time Attack Super Lap Battle class outright and went on to many more wins and successes. He often pushes the V8 engine’s revs up to the 8,000 mark – not necessarily to make more power, but to improve overall driveability. On track, Qartoumy has already maxed out the PPG 6-speed sequential gearbox as he reaches the rev limiter at 180 mph on 28” tall tires. Mounted just behind each of the front wheels for maximum cool points, the Garrett G-Series turbos were fitted with 1.01 A/R turbine housings with V-band inlets and outlets and flow compressed air through a matching Garrett front-mount intercooler.Īlthough it’s more than capable of putting out 2,000 horsepower, Qartoumy kept his LME-built LS engine at a more conservative supply level of around 900 horses with a mild tune up in the MoTeC engine management system – but a quick turn of the boost controller knob can effortlessly ramp that up to 1,200 and beyond on demand. Qartoumy ran the wicked Corvette in a naturally aspirated configuration at first but soon upgraded it to a twin turbo configuration utilizing two of Garrett’s G35-900 turbochargers. So, Qartoumy turned to the drag racing experts at Late Model Engines to assemble a 7-liter (427 ci) LS7-based powerplant complete with Darton sleeves, Brodix BR7 heads, Wiseco pistons, a Callies crankshaft, and more. Suction cup-like stickability means nothing, though, without proper power to apply it. In the rear, the drag reduction system (DRS) wing works as an air brake when the second element is activated by the air shocks filling up, then re-opens as the killer Corvette picks up speed again. The massive lip up front looks like it’s about to scoop up anything in its way but is strong enough to support the weight of four grown men standing on it. Thanks to the jaw-dropping active aerodynamics package from Affinity Aero, the car produced a whopping 3,260-pounds of downforce when tested at 160 mph. Setting insane lap times on a road course requires a tremendous amount of grip, and Qartoumy’s C6 Corvette has so much downforce that it practically makes its own gravity. Massive aero, monster grip, humongous power, and a wicked intimidation factor all add up to a winning combination for Feras Qartoumy and his 1,200-horsepower twin turbo Time Attack Corvette Z06. Monster power thanks to twin Garrett turbos and monster grip put Feras Qartoumy’s Time Attack C6 Corvette Z06 on the podium. It's an immersive experience.įor control freaks (ha), there are, count them, 4 different methods of moving the plane around, which should satisfy just about everyone:Īlright, enough with this rant.ApBig Grip and Big Power for This Monstrous Garrett Turbo Time Attack C6 Corvette Z06 Real-time 3D graphics, destructible buildings, numerous weapon and plane upgrades, and did I mention the music? The minute I started playing, I thought one of my Daft Punk Tron Legacy soundtrack songs came on. Don't fret - the full version is coming in March, with 9 missions, 3 planes, and 64 types of enemies.Įven with what the Lite version had to offer, I was sold. There is only one temporary blemish on an otherwise perfect package - only the Lite version has been released so far, with 2 missions, 16 different enemy types, 2 planes, and movie-quality music.
