Geiger Cars builds Black Edition Z06
Click above for high-res gallery of Black Edition Z06
German tuner Geiger Cars is partial to modifying American cars, so it was an obvious choice to use the Corvette Z06 as a base for its latest special edition car. Dubbed the Corvette Z06 Black Edition, Geiger adds a unique body kit with a Ferrari F430-ish rear end and LED taillights, as well as a more aggressive front lip. Black painted rims are available in both 18- and 19-inch sizes, as well. Output of the 7.0-liter V8 is listed as unchanged at 505 bhp and 470 lb-ft torque, although Geiger does offer a Stage 1 performance kit for the Z06 that includes a new air intake system, upgraded exhaust manifolds, and a free-flowing exhaust system good for 542 bhp. We would insert a joke right here about KITT from Knight Rider or maybe Darth Vader, but it's been a long day and there's not much else to say besides that's one blacked-out 'Vette.

the tail lights seem too small to fit the rear end

Looks like they tried to copy a F430 in the rear.

Looks like you didn't read the article.

Guilty. I just scanned over it and checked the pictures.

definitely reminiscent of the 612... doesn't mean it works on this car though.

Except those tiny headlights, this Vette looks very good.

The rear end still has that 'stuck on' look with the nasty panel gap running straight up and down but it is a big improvement on the stock arse.
I like the stock vette but the rear is especially ugly.

I second that. It's completely out of place and quite frankly I thought the C6 rear fascia was one of the most defining part of the car.
The sum it up: *yawn*

Well, this Geiget Z06 is nice, but I like the Lingenfelter Z06 a bit more. It has a sweet custom interior.

thumbs down on the new rear. The tiny lights just don't match IMO.

Park it in my garage please. Just remove the stickers on the doors and I am in. Thing looks mean. This should have been the new KITT!

Yeahhhh....nice try but carving the rear with another butter knife wont fix the boxy butt design flaw to begin with.
Adding smaller tail lights to the rear kinda gives an illusion of shrinking the rear, but its still big and obtuse.
C'mon GM, let those guys who did the CTS-V take a stab at the Corvette. At least redo the walrus stub looking side mirrors. What is with the large bulbous designs???? didnt work for the GTO and barely works for this car.
We know you can build engines and drive trains GM. But Porsche fans have a point. Beauty is not its best trait by far. Hey Geiger Cars, you're gonna have to replace the rear glass, rear quarter panels, bumper, too really shrink the butt down.
