9.9 full weight Z06 > 9.7 diet Z06

I think many more N/A Z06's will be in the 9's this year. Should be fun.

Wow, great pic's. Thanks. I know what you mean about the weight. My wife had a '96 Infiniti Q45 (that I absolutely loved). The way the suspension worked with 50 series Michelin Pilots made that 4100 lb car feel like a 3200 pound car.

Bruce,
I pondered your question last night and all I could come up with was:

Does this new setup on your ZO6 include a standard C6 rear swap out for 4.10 gears on the agenda or are you strictly focusing on making huge power and weight reduction? I'm very interested in watching your progress!

My goal will be to run 9.7X's with a Heads/cam 6speed C6Z06. Hmmmm makes ya think which vendor has such a heads cam/package and tuning to make such a car possible???????????
I was actually surprised that you'd left/jumped ship in the first place, I thought for sure that you still had a little more to go with the orange car and was even quite puzzled by the ZR1 move LOL.
Shhh, don't tell anyone but I prefer C6 Z06s over C6 ZR1s.

My plan would be a diet for the driver especially cause thats the cheapest best weight loss you can do. Then diet for the car most expensive way to do. Then good power. Doesnt have to be the most power just good power. Functional or usable power is what I would say. Rear gears will most likely stay 3.42's unless someone offers a set of rear gears for a C6Z06/C6ZR1 rear. Not sure thats a option. Reduced gear ratio tranny may be the option to try for this goal.

What ET's has your car ran so far BigMike NY???

Actually that made me chuckle. The darn front tires are wearing out faster than the rears of my ZR1. The tires measure 7/32nds front and 8/32nds rear. They have the same date codes and all. My guess is if you think the front tires scrub bad on a C6Z06 you should drive a ZR1 once and turn sharp. It almost scares the crap out of you the first time it pushes so hard. WIFE jumped and said WTF was that. I explained to her as she said you need to get rid of this thing. LOL!

Get notified of new replies

To Would I be welcome back to the C6Z06 section???
