Patrick Herrmann, Technical Manager Communications at Chevrolet Europe, tested the new exhaust system of the Corvette Stingray. For this occasion, he compared it to a very special Harley Davidson motorbike with a Jekill & Hyde exhaust.

The Corvette Stingray system adjusts the timing of the electronically controlled exhaust valves to enhance audible feedback from the V-8, depending on the drive mode.

How’s this for being recognized as an icon! The C7 Corvette has been made into a new monopoly game piece for a new version of the game called Monopoly Empire.

We’d put our money on the C7 getting around the board the quickest, but there’s also a Ducati piece to contend with

Corvetteonline reports on some photos it received from a reader, by way of a “friend of a friend” inside GM’s prototype center. Pictured in the photo is potentially the C7 ZR1 engine.

What we can see is that the engine is an LT1-style, Gen V Chevy small block, as evidenced by the injector cover shape and the fact that the throttle body is consistent with the ones used on the C7′s LT1. It’s also clearly a twin-rotor supercharged engine with the LSA/LS9 style pulley mounted high on the front, and intercooler plumbing also bearing a resemblance to previous heat exchanger setups.

This engine is said to be a 6.2 liter engine.
