Fake Vents Galore 

Bill Mitchell’s stingray inspiration was thoroughgoing on the 1963 Corvette and extended well beyond just the name and the split window “spine.” The second-gen Corvette also got gills on the side panels and C-pillar, all of which ended up being fake. That even extends to the large vents on the ’63 Corvette’s hood. Duntov had wanted those vents to be functional. The Corvette’s new design tended to lift off when running at high speed and Duntov intended the hood vents to alleviate that upward pressure. Though they might have been nice for the Z06 racing version, the vents were deemed impractical for everyday use (letting inrainwater to the engine bay, for instance) and thus became merely ornamental.

Castagna Aznom, 2007, by Castagna Milano. A concept designed by Gioacchino Acampora, based on a Z06 Corvette with a 750hp twin-turbo 7.0 litre V8 dropping the 0-60 time down to 3.4 seconds and taking the top speed up to 217mph. Rather than conventional instruments all driver information is supplied by a head-up display

First Z06 Modified Corvette for Racing 

Every proper sports car needs its performance variant. Duntov and his engineering team were eager to make good on their design improvements to the Corvette by giving would-be racers a race-ready performance version. Thus, the RPO (Regular Production Option) Z06 was born. Modifications included a 36.5-gallon gas tank (over the standard 20–gallon tank), a sport tuned suspension with bigger springs, shocks, and anti-roll bars, plus the top-of-the-line fuel-injected 327 V8 good for 360 horsepower. The power drum brakes on the car were also upgraded with a dual master cylinder, vacuum brake boost, and better cooling. Just 199 Z06 Corvettes were built before GM’s self-imposed moratorium on racing, which made the first Z06 a one-year-only affair.
