Well while down at VIR (Virginia International Raceway) with our Zo6. GM decided to show up and bring 6 brand spankin new ZR1's to play with. And i eventually got the opportunity to pass one.

Woke up and on the way out to my truck.



And chilling before time to race.

 

Gorgeous!

 

What's done to your Z06?

 

Intake LT Headers and Tune.. about 600 hp.. havent had it on a dyno.. also Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires wich are waaaay better than the goodyear crap that came stock

 

It looks good, any future mods? Have you raced Sebring with it?

 

10-4 on the Sport Cup tires. I saw in the latest C&D where the Z06 ran against the Viper ACR, the Porsche GT2, and the Nissan GT-R on a 2.7 mile track. It hung in there pretty good, even with the crappy runflats, while the GT2 and Viper had the Sport Cups. (The GT-R of course had AWD.) I'd really like to have seen the outcome with the tire factor eliminated. They rated the Z06 dead last. I thought it was a rip.

 

Tires can make the world of difference... The cheap Hankooks on my truck have cost me a couple of stoplight races. Hard compound = no traction.

 

Corvettes are the best performance out of the box bargains offered from any automaker on this planet period! Bang for Buck factor is unbeatable!.................

 

Too bad they cost way too much, are a pain in the *** to maintain, have little room inside, and need a style change badly.. Don't worry, i'm only talking about the current gen .

 

Those ZR1s are sex on wheels, i cant wait to see one on the road. Nice Z06 you have there, the yellow really stands out.

 

Thanks.. No havent had it on Sebring yet. We have some brake pads and rotors eady to go on. Other than that, maybe some suspension upgrades. We are going to Road America on august 11-12

as far as the current gen, i have to dissagree... there is TONS of leg room compared to the older gen's.

 

You obviously don't know too much about current gen Corvettes! The performance per dollar quotient is unbeatable! They are easy to maintain, & frankly, have killer styling!..............Stick to your Frontier!............

 

Oh no, im not a corvette enthusiast or anything no, i dont know anything about vettes. I guess i will go look at some more nissans.

No, only several guys with new vettes telling me how much it costs them to have service done on their vettes, no, that's not real, i must have made it up.

The styling sucks. Sure it looks good, but it hasnt changed in general since 83. Bubble windows suck. Bring back the fins.

 

I have to disagree JBMX opinions are like Aholes, everyone has one and yours stinks!

This is sex on wheels......

 

X2! My friends who own current Gen Vettes, absoultely LOVE EM, Occasionally I get to drive em! They are KILLER in all aspects!............
