Fits perfectly into Super Touring 2. Also known as ST2.

Another option is PTA (Performance Touring) if your C5Z is relatively stock. Most C5Z's run after market sway bars and 295 Hoosiers or V710's (that's all that you can mod for the most part).

ST2 is a great class for a T1 car! Cmon in, the NASA Corvette racers are like family and will help you with what ever you need.
Mikah, I'll second you on the carpet removal, hope it goes thru.

3180 for C5 Vettes and 3600 for Snakes now with no interiors?

I'm envisioning Jody as being "Captain Over" from the Airplane movie Cockpit scene........
"you ever seen a grown man naked?"
"you ever hang around a gymnasium?"
"you like movies about Gladiators?"

I was really, really cautious traversing the backroads of Phoenixville, PA (of course, there are only backroads in Phoenixville! ), to the point of surprising Joe.
I'd love to race it without the weight and restrictor; I hear it's a blast...quite the rocket.

To run a Z06 is ST2 you need to either be Full weight or have a detuined engine. My car is 3180 and I have 344 RWHP

Actually, that's not true, then you won't make the HP/ Weight Ratio At 3180/say 385 (low from what I hear) is 8.25 : 1 which would be ST1, you'd want to be in ST2 @ 385 HP you would need to weight in at 3350.

My car weighs, with me @ 207#'s and a 3/8 tank of motion lotion, right at ~3,290#'s. The motor is at 370 RWHP. That yields a 8.89.

Remember, David had to add a couple hundred pounds of ballast to make his T1 Viper compliant to ST2. rules. A C5Z is pretty damn close out of the box, WITH an interior.
Obviously the guys that run both classes are going to remove the allowed items from the interior for T1, and then add ballast to run ST2.
Shady Aaron, do you remember what your ratio was when you ran NASA in July? Were you right at the 8.7 or did you have a little wiggle room?

I'm hoping that removing all the interior bits gets me below that, and then I'll add a little ballast to the right-rear to better balance the car and be all set!

I dunno, Ken. My '02 Z06 has no passenger seat, no carpet and some plastic panels have been removed and a motor that's pretty much stock tuned and I make the 8.7 pretty easily.
My car weighs, with me @ 207#'s and a 3/8 tank of motion lotion, right at ~3,290#'s. The motor is at 370 RWHP. That yields a 8.89.

So for the normal person it fits fine but if you have one of those "special" T1 cars it won't.
