Been tracking for over 7 years in a modified C5 and for the last year and a half in my C6 Z06. Got tired of the expense as well as wear and tear on the C6 Z06 for track duty. The C6Z makes a great "track" day car but I'm driving it as a "race car" which is taking it's toll. It's also just a matter of time to when I have an off track excursion which would be expensive to fix on the C6Z.

I'm also tired of switching camber and toe, street to race rubber, brake pads, etc. every time I go to the track, not to mention switching it back to street after an event and the clean-up required to remove track debris/marking.

Car was an ASA car which has been converted to a road course car. Engine specs are provided below the photos. There's also a link showing a good pic of the dry sump LS1 engine. I haven't had a chance to take of the silly *** NASCAR style vinyl stickers/graphics yet, it's been cold!

Should be fun. Now I just need it to warm up enough to get to drive it!!!

nice that think should be a beast, how much are tires usually for something like that??

also i bet consumables are .01 on the $1 for that compared to our pads.

rikhek

At 2,600 pounds and real race rubber instead of DOT R compound I'm thinking I'll drop at least 5 seconds off my lap times at Hallett. I currently run low 1:25's like clockwork driving at 7 tenths.

Consumables were a MAJOR consideration in purchasing. A set of tires is only $600. Brake pads and rotors will last more than 2 days and are much less expensive.

They're now hanging the new Camaro bodies on these cars. They look great with the Camaro body.

My buddy bought an identical car last winter and I spent the last year helping him out. The cars are brutally fast, with an emphasis on brutal. I have driven the car a number of times, and it seems to scare the crap out of me every time....for the first lap or two. Then, it gets real fun real fast.

He has been finding tires brand new for $50-60. Look on Hoosiers site for their discontuined tires we well as our favorite auction site.

The biggest issue my buddy had was the rear diff was worn out. That leads to a very unstable car. It will change direction every time you accelerate or let off the gas.

It will probably take you a year to figure the thing out, but in my opinion it will be worth it. Get some ear plugs.

Great looking ride Rick. Can't wait to see it at Hallett. I'm starting to feel real slow in my Z.
Congrats!!

robert miller

I am saying you are going to have fun it that toy...

bosco022

You're gonna enjoy! Outstanding, fast & safe racers. Mine has seen

Hope you can make it to Road Atlanta in Nov.

So you your going wheel to wheel Rick? I bet Connie won't let you do HST with your new ride. GT 1 all the way. Sounds like great fun.

Russell

johninar

Connie will let him run, but Sammy would be just waiting for him with the black flag!
We do need more GT-1 cars though.
I think he did it to keep David and his 997 off his back.

PA Z06

Congrats, are there any series that you can race it in.

Bills Z06

, Really a cool car. Congrats!

Russell,

Connie has all but disallowed me from running in HST with the C6Z. She winces when she sees me in the registration line. She says I "scare" people and for the life of me I have no idea why...

My plans right now are to use as a track day car more so than racing. On COMMA weekends as it's a GTA car so I guess I'll run the the GT group.

If you recall I usually go out on weekdays when it's just me and a couple other cars all running together. Street cars and race cars together. On a COMMA weekend I'm lucky to get 90 track miles/day. When I go out on a weekday I get 240 track miles/day.
