Racing Solutions Inc. is the operation behind the three recently-released packages designed to make the SSR as fast
as it looks. They offer three levels of tuning, with the base Z500 package being the subject of Motor Trend’s test. The
most obvious mod is the removal of the SSR’s stock motor and the insertion of a Corvette Z06 engine, which itself is
tweaked with stronger rods and pistons. Stainless-steel headers route fumes to a larger exhaust system, and the
computer is reprogrammed to optimize power management. The result is a solid 500-hp. Of course more power is
never enough power, so RSI also has a Z600 package to produce 600-hp from a 7.0 liter V8. But why stop at
600-hp? Slap an RSI supercharger onto either package and hold the hell on. The Z packages start at $14,900, including a
warranty, and the supercharger will tack on about $8500.
