Does anyone have the C6 suspension geometry handy? I was hired for a Viper suspension job and was a little suprised about the geometry of that car, making me wonder how an analysis of the C6 geometry would turn out. As many of you know, I am making a racing C6, but this car has nothing in common with a regular C6, so it is of no help.

I thought you had a very nice spreadsheet on this?

In fact I dont. I do have the old racecar geometry but I dont think it is very much allike a new Corvette.
What I was looking for here was a closer comparsion of what a factory
C6 looked allike, just to see it it has anything in common with the Viper geometry, (which I dont think). I dont have the time to check it out mayself right now even if there are a few cars around.

I do. (That is assuming that the C6 is the same as C5.)

I posted it on pro-touring.com a while back. Click here. Scroll down to post 18 and download the Excel sheet.

Very good, big thanks!
I should take a close look at the numbers and put them in my own program. The Vette do have a higher vertical spring rate and less "anti:s" compared to the Viper. Thats what I was thinking.
If there is an interest I could be back with a few more comparsions later on.

The C6 geometry is different then the C5. The C6 has more suspension travel than the C5 did. I believe the control arms are longer. the wheelbase is longer and the the track is narrower.
