It only takes a quick once over to notice there is something special and different about this C6. From the carbon-fiber flared wide body with sculpted side skirts to the custom center-lock wheels, this yellow 2008 C6 screams unique, and that’s before we even get under the hood. When notorious tuner Vengeance Racing out of Cumming, Georgia recently got their hands on this beautiful Pratt & Miller C6RS, they were so impressed they felt compelled to share it with us enthusiasts on their Facebook page.
They so aptly remarked, “It is not too often that us gearheads have the honor of seeing true ONE OF ONE specialty cars up close and in person.” This 2008 Corvette C6RS designed and built by Pratt & Miller is one of only eleven ever built, this one being VIN 001. What makes it “ONE OF ONE”? Well, it’s the only one of the eleven with a powerplant “enhanced with a fully forged 7.0 427 topped with an LS9 2.3L supercharger”. Can this C6RS get any more valuable? Sure, let’s add some provenance as it was owned personally for over a decade by Mr. Garry Pratt himself, and recently sold for $335,000.
If that Pratt & Miller name rings a bell, it should, as they are notorious in Corvette circles as well, putting Corvette Racing on the map in their inaugural 2000 season with their first win in that ground-breaking C5.R. Chevrolet’s collaboration with Pratt & Miller paid off, because after that first Texas win Corvette Racing went on to their first victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans the following year, and with the help of Pratt & Miller proceeded to crank out 7 more Le Mans victories for Corvette Racing.
Let’s take a closer look at this riveting Pratt & Miller creation. Vengeance notes that every body panel except the roof, targa bar, decklid/backlight, and door skins have been replaced by “unique, aerodynamically enhanced carbon-fiber panels”. Other notable specs include a 6-Speed Tremec T56 Manual Gearbox, front and rear Brembo monobloc disc brakes, and a full Arvin Meritor adjustable-height air suspension.
