Racetrack driveability of "ZR6X" extreme wide body/huge track/ large wheel spacers
Thinking of buying a ZR6X, but I have one concern:
How is the driveability on bendy roads or on a racetrack. Agilitiy and precision?
My last C6 got some 20mm spacers all around and it made the car less sportive in corners.
But since the widebody is huge u need a 1,5" = 40mm spacer PER SIDE ... making 3" per axle. I think this could be a serious problem especially on the front.
Has anyone experience with such a car or such large wheel spacers / adapters?

Spacing out the wheels like that causes a few issues. The closer to square the car gets the less stable the car is going to be at speed. The softer spring rate should be dealt with. The scrub gets all sorts of jacked up. Are you planning on running adapters? I don't like adapter style spacers at all.

The scrub would be my biggest concern as the change in wheel rate can be dealt with via a stiffer spring. Sounds like this is what your C6 suffered from. Read these articles from MotoIQ to get an idea of what makes your suspension tick.
