I thought the dash looked a little different... I want more details!!! WOW!!!

I am enjoying '12 Z06 CTF car this weekend................er I mean I providing a technical evaluation and feedback.............The I/P is unchanged. New seats (much more support) and a much reworked steering wheel (although the horn pad is carryover) seem to be the big interior improvments.

Good one.

This is such a victory for America. Half way through the video I realized that that the C7 variant is going to be even quicker.

Quit holding out on us!!! Are there going to be some performance enhancements to Z06, too?

That ZR1 'Ring improvement is OUTSTANDING!!! I KNEW YOU GUYS COULD DO IT!!! I believe I read the ACR was running on the same tires, so they can go pack sand, too!

That video was .... just cool.

I watched it twice. I don't think I could ever run a car that hard on that track. I started getting nervous just watching!!!

That is what I am talking about!! AWESOME!!!

Great time, but the GM guy did state that the public version is a little heavier do to added Safty equipment.

I am all about cubes. So, I will see if I like the C7. I am thinking of exotic for my next round.

91Z28350 · 06-10-2011, 11:46 PM

actually, unless I misunderstood, he said that the version that ran the 'ring was a little heavier than the public one, due to the added safety features.

*Camaro_Corvette* · 06-10-2011, 11:56 PM

Giggity!

Corvette = KING!

That ACR run has always been a thorn in my side. Now, I am happy.
