The Corvette Z06 E85 concept (left) will run on E85 ethanol fuel and will be driven during the race's pace lap by two-time Indianapolis 500 champion Emerson Fittipaldi. The Corvette 30th Anniversary Pace Car (right) honors the 1978 model with its black and silver paint scheme. 1978 was the first year that a Corvette paced the field at the Indy 500.</div> <bR> <div> The Chevrolet Corvette is a high-performance two-seater V-8 sports car with over 400-hp.</div> <div> the most bang for your buck!</div> <div> <IMG SRC="48326270.jpg" border=0 width="550" height="295" ALT="Corvette C6RS front" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="6" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> (GM) Corvette C6RS</div> <div> <B>This Corvette C6RS was built for Jay Leno by Pratt&Miller Engineering, the wizards behind the five-time Le Mans-winning Corvette Racing C6.R GT machines. </B></div> <bR> <div> Powered by a Performance 8.2-liter (500ci) all-aluminum small-block V-8 engine that produces 600 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. torque on E85 fuel, the Pratt & Miller Corvette C6RS utilizes a purpose-built carbon fiber body that's lifted directly from its competition cars.</div> <bR> <div> including a computer-controlled adjustable suspension system, center-nut black chrome forged aluminum BBS wheels (18 x 11-inch front, 19 x 13.6-inch rear) with Michelin Pilot Sport tires (P295/30-18 front and P345/30-19 rear), and ginormous Brembo GT monoblock disc brakes.</div> <bR> <div> But the C6RS also comes with a custom-fitted two-tone leather interior and a comprehensive sound control system that presents a quiet, comfortable environment for driver and passenger. </div> <bR> <div> The C6RS is essentially somewhere between a Corvette Z06 and the all-out racing version, which means it's mean and nasty with just a modicum of civility. Pratt&Miller is building an ultra-limited run of these supercars beginning in April 2008.
