Supercharged Corvette Z06 by Romeo Ferraris

If you want a supercharged, carbon fiber Corvette, there are two ways to go about it: you could order a ZR1 straight from the factory, or you could buy a next-rung-down Z06 and bring it to Romeo Ferraris.

The Italian tuners typically focus on Italian cars, but have made a notable exception in this case. Fitting a centrifugal supercharger and a variety of other goodies bring output up to 667 horsepower and 607 lb-ft of torque, just edging out the ZR1. 0-62 comes in 3.3 seconds, with a top speed of 211 mph.

Parade of Ferraris Sets New World Record

Here's a fun traffic jam to be a part of: a group of 385 Ferraris parading down the Silverstone circuit in England. It happened just a week or so ago on June 9th as part of a celebration to mark the company's anniversary year. Just a few of the models present were a 250 California Spider, a 275GTB/C, FXX, F40, F50 and an Enzo. The total value of all the Ferraris involved is estimated to be more than $118.4 million.

For the event the cars traveled slowly over a 2 mile course, made sure to stay within 2 car lengths of each other, and were counted both at the beginning and at the end. A representative from Guinness World Records certified the event as a new world record and presented Ferrari officials with a certificate.

What? No certificates for the individual owners/drivers? Bummer.
