Default Looking for C5 Z06 set up for autox

We're thinking about a C5 Z06 for SS next year. Please PM me if you know of any 2002 or later deals out there.

Thanks
Jeff

Don't do it. C5Zs are horrible autox'ing cars. Stay as far away from SS as you can.













PS Stop by my pit at Nationals and we'll talk.

You posted like what 100 threads about the GT3 shouldn't be in SS, this car or that car shouldn't be in SS----

And now that you have a Z16 Z06-----are you getting out of the class ?

What mods can you do to the car in SS?

I ran an event this weekend and they put me in ASP. 03 Z06: intake, tune, shifter, SS lines, and lowered on stock bolts. MX's 275/40/17 fronts 295/35/18 rears.

I can say one thing though this car has almost as much grip on street tires as my cobra had on the V710's. I love this car!!

00BlkFRC:

At the risk of Jeff's e-mail now drifting, the intake, tune, shifter, and SS brake lines are all ASP mods.

Stock, in theory, is just that, with allowances for wear and tear and a few selected mods. Quick summary is: suspension - alignment/lowering within the design limits, different front sway bar/mounting, different shocks (mount to the factory location); brakes - alternate brake pads; wheels - original size (diameter and width) plus/minus 1/4" offset; exhaust - can be changed past the converter; tires - DOT tires (hence the V710s and A6s). Normal maintenance items like plugs and filters are free.

The above is a quick summary. You can find the SCCA rulebook online through their website. NCCC Group 1 has different allowances. If you run through a local organization, they probably use SCCA rules but may not exactly duplicate everything.

Thanks for the info. I am coming from a SM cobra and I don't want to go that far with a car again. I am looking for a simple cost effective setup that i can be competitive with. I know I want to do the T-1 bars for OT events so I guess I will look into what I can do and stay in ASP. Thanks for the avise.
