Innovative Auto Products has commissioned Rocky Mountain Corvette to build a true super car as a test vehicle for new products. Currently IAP has produced the highly successful removable front license plates for the C-6, and C-6 Z06 and is currently carried by Rocky Mountain Corvette, Zip Products, Vette Specialties, Southern Car Parts, and numerous Chevrolet dealers across the country. Soon to be in production are the removable plate for the Porsche Cayman, Boxster, and Carrera, as well as the Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra. Look for additional performance and aesthetic enhancing items from IAP. Steve Olsen is the creative and driving force behind IAP, while Alex Nelsen is in charge of design, engineering, and production.

Project Zora, also known as Project Z, is in honor of the late Zora Duntov and is based on the Factory Five Racing GTM. The GTM uses a large number of components from 1997-04 Corvette, including the LS1-7 engine. Enough so, that it truly can be the mid-engined Corvette General Motors could have built.

Zora pushed hard for GM to build a mid-engine Corvette, but because of bureaucratic inertia, he was only able to build a few prototypes. Although the mid-engine design handled and performed better than the traditional front engine designs, it was considered too radical for public consumption.

Project Z will take the best of Corvette and GTM and create a unique and distinguishable super car that will easily compete with automobiles such as the Saleen, Ferrari, and Lamborghini in looks, performance, and handling. Project Z will be right at home in such company as the world's finest high performance automobiles.

As part of the project, a video will be produced that is expected to be approximately 30 minutes in duration. This video is expected to be marketed to Speed Channel as well as other outlets. A copy of this video with additional footage of each custom build will accompany the each new GTM produced. Jim Janicek of Janicek/Marino Creative is producing this exciting video. Jim is also interior design and paint scheme manager of Project Z.

Rocky Mountain Corvette is bringing to bear the best skills in the industry to build Project Z. All aspects of construction are handled by craftsmen that have many years of combined experience. Look forward to this amazing and exciting project to be all the buzz!
