Hi,
Former owner of a C1 (1962 Roman Red 327/340hp) when I was in college many years ago. Recently bought my wife a 2017 Z06 Conv, yellow with black stripes and am getting the itch for a track/weekend toy. Looking at the ZR1 but also becoming intrigued with the Callaway SC757. My problem is I'm 6'-4" and am going to have to figure out a seating arrangement that works.
Looking forward to learning a lot and possibly even contributing.
Mike

Welcome to the forum, Mike, and congratulations on your wife's C7!
Maybe she'll let you borrow it.
You may want to check in the C7 section https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-corvette-141/ or the Autocrossing and Roadracing section https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ette-topics-8/ to see if anyone has addressed track seating for taller drivers.
Best wishes!

Trying to scratch the itch.....local dealer that I bought the Z06 from told me, gleefully I might add, that he'll be happy to get me a ZR1 for MSRP plus "at least" MSRP +10K or 15K. God I hate car dealers (some of them anyway). I totally understand micro economics but still, sometimes care dealers are just totally predatory. Needless to say I'll not buy or use this dealer for maintenance or anything else for that matter. Geez.
