Nahhhhhh you cant get upset with running even or close to a heads/cam C6Z06 with a bolt ons only C6Z06. We never did get to line up with the ZR1. Both have to be on drag radials and the wives not with preferably LOL! I'm going to steal my wheels back though I think when he's not looking!

Well........I say you can NOW write about your experience and comparisons between the two cars like you talked about doing earlier.
I know you touched on it a bit on the thread in the ZR1 section that questioned moving up from a Z06 to a ZR1. I must admit that I was a bit suprised but some of the other comments in that thread.


Oh......and car debt sucks !!!!

p.s. make sure the new car has it's OEM clutch return sping in place or you're going to catch some hell again

Hey, Fartpipe,
There was never a reason to leave in the first place. Everyone has their own experiences and opinions and you never know when or how you might help another forum member. I think a lot of us seem to forget that what is irrelavent, over repeated or mundane to us can be a lot of help to someone just coming to the forum. My only question is whether or not you could feel the extra weight in the ZR1, especially up front?

The ZR1 suspension is so finely tuned you dont notice the difference for my style driving. Road course someone may notice it more than I. To me the car felt just as nimble from front to back as a C6Z06 but just better balanced with how the suspension works on the ZR.
As for nose heavy due to the supercharger etc etc....



NAHHHHH!!!!

NAHHHHH!!!!
Extra weight in the front end????? Freakin frontwheels are coming off the ground...lol Actually, I too have wondered what kind of push the ZR1 gets in tight corner situations due to the extra weight up front.
