Default Z06 Retest at Laguna Seca Today



Motor Trend also posted a picture of an ACR after this one. Should be an interesting comparison between the GT3 RS, C7 Z06/07 and the ACR.

I like tracking my car. I also like to drive the car around town and taking my wife out in it from time to time. I cannot imagine dropping my wife off at the front of some hoity-toity restaurant with a park bench on the back of the car. I would feel like a butt plug driving a car with a huge wing around town. For a track only car, I get it.

I wish the Z06 had a rear wing (like the ACR and GT3RS) instead of the rear spoiler. The Z07 wickerbill will cause lots of drag. Anyway, cant wait to see the results. Go Z06!!!!!!!!

It appears that a friend of mine just sold his Gallardo SL and bought a stryker purple ACR Extreme. Huge surprise to me, as we discussed the merits and negatives of the car when at COTA in September.
He is at Sebring with it today.

Oh, and I know they are fully functional and create less drag than the Z06's spoiler, but IMHO those wings look ridiculous, at least from those angles.
