You could build so much more for so much less.

I'm looking for a replay of this as I missed the thread but here's a link to the Motor Week site. This is the first C6RS I've seen in JSB - very nice. Too bad they don't have bigger pictures on the site.

Jason, Thanks for a GREAT video, BUT, I don't think this car really has "14" aluminum rotors" as stated in the video?

GMT-Greenwich Mean Time is Zulu time in the military and aviation world. It is the time in Greenwich, England, Scotland, Ireland and Iceland.

Thanks Jason for posting this. I sure wish I'd known they were going to be running at Summit Point - I'd have gone out to gawk.

I know it's expensive but at $145K + donor car that's still less than we were originally hearing. Heck, I think Obama should buy everybody one!

No, steel rotors with aluminum hats.

Hard to say. I submit a heck of a lot of engineering went into that car. It is not like someone just dragged a magnet through some parts bins.

I wonder if they would find rocker arm needle bearings if they dragged a magnet through their parts bins. I also don't think that the Katech engine sounds like a sewing machine at idle as the C6Z06 does.
