Personally, I could give a rats butt about the GTR. I wish the questions would stick to Corvette only issues.

What is the process to get a question into the poll of several questions that you post? Thanks.

Post a question as a new thread in this section of the forum. I select 5 at the end of the week to vote for; those 5 are chosen by "interest". I judge interest by looking at how many people are replying to the thread, reading the thread, etc. So after you've posted a question, talk it up.

Agreed. I personally find the last two choices (software and break-in) to be the most interesting, and likely what he'd be willing to go the most in-depth on. Any questions regarding GTR comparisons will likely be dodged and avoided with little to no factual information.

Ask them why a simple Air intake picks up 54HP on a dyno? Could the Filter system/air intake be to constricted for the blower ? Maybe they can tweak the 16's with it and allow the 2015 owners to buy and have chevy upload tune.

Its nothing more than letting the blower breath on the intake side.

It's not about the GTR, it's about Randy's differing opinion from his two test of the Z06.

This.

We're seriously going to ask the lead of Corvette design what he thinks about the GTR? I could summarize what I think he will say but I think that may be even more of a waste of time than his actual answer.

Plus, if you could post the answer that is really going through his mind at that moment, you'd most likely be banned for some time ..........

The 2015 Z06 is billed as the fastest track Corvette ever, yet it lost to the GTR by 2 seconds on the road course, same driver same day.

The GTR is heavier and has less horsepower than the Z06, so MT was surprised it was beaten so handily by the GTR.

It would be very interesting if Tadge has an explanation.

What does being "the fastest track Corvette ever" have to do with the times of a Nissan GTR?
Nobody ever said the Z06 is the fastest track car in the world.

This is exactly what I'd like to hear.

If you compare the stats of the two the outcome is hard to understand, hence the need of an explanation.
