Makes perfect sense to me. Cup tires on the Vette and even on lesser tires it would beat almost every car on the list. Z06 is very underrated and very awesome.
Maybe. Either way it's a damn good show by the Mac considering the other cars on the list, including the Viper ACR. Speaking from experience, the Z06 on Cup tires is not going to give up much to any road legal car, regardless of price (save for P1 of course!). It has low weight, low C of G, tons of mechanical grip, tons of torque and the LS7 motor is powerful enough for most racetracks. It's actually faster than the ZR1, depending on the track, on equal rubber. On the other hand, the suspension is stiff and I literally could not rest my arms on the armrests for more than a short trip or else get bruises on my elbows. I doubt they are concerned about such things while they rack up the wins at LeMans, however. Very much looking fwd to the C7 Vette. Prepare to see those lap times tumble further.Maybe a 2013 spec 12C could make up that lousy .01 sec difference.
Both are R-comp tires and I had thought roughly equivalent. I have only used the Corsas, though.
I have tried both on various cars over the years, although yet to try Corsas on my 12C. From my experience and talking with other track enthusiasts, I don't think you'll find many that will say Corsas are as sticky as MPSCs. The Cups are another step up, performance-wise. Even less tread than Corsas, though, so 100% useless if you get caught in the rain. Like you have to pull over and wait it out.
The Corsa is nowhere near the MPSC. Even on a short circuit, it can make a difference of 1-2 seconds.
That's what Porsche GT series road cars use
Imagine what nxt gen Z06 will be able to do, especially if CF is in the works
.......and at it's price point!
.......and at it's price point!I'm a little bit of a Z06 fan and happen to recall that the front fenders are CF and the floor is a balsa/CF sandwich (yummy).
I was thinking more of Le Mans -- -- the reason the car was homologated. Cars finished 5th and 6th in 2012 GTE after winning a bunch of times. The car wasn't originally conceived for anything like the GTE configuration, but they still did a great job.A pretty dominant 2012 in the ALMS resulted in manufacturers, teams and drivers titles, haven't kept up that much eh?
You have TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDSA pretty dominant 2012 in the ALMS resulted in manufacturers, teams and drivers titles, haven't kept up that much eh?
......your 21yo dont you go to college.
CAPITALIST......good for you! ;0).............good luck!
Now your name makes perfect sense: MitchF1GTR -- -- very cool and highly appropriate indeed.
