idk why people complain about the cars weight. its still going to be a great performance car, and look really nice. personally i wouldn't want a truly light weight car. comes a point where you want the car to have little beef on it. for safety and looks.

It will make the C6Z look silly in most any situation. 3,500-3,600lbs is not heavy for a 650hp sportscar IMO. |

I have, many times, many different cars. Let me tell you, that extra weight is a big enemy for any car that is trying to go through corners at the limit. C6 Z06 is one of the fastest stock cars in the world if driven properly(at the limit). C7Z06 is going to be about 500 pounds heavier. That is a lot of extra weight to carry around even for the superior c7 suspension design compare to c6 platform. And too much power is not as important on the technical road course as much as other aspects in this game. Thats why i said in my previous post that i dont think new Z will be much faster than c6 z06. We just have to wait and see. |

I can take any Z06 in my stock M. I meant from December to March. Well at least in the rain and snow.

If you can afford the $100k price of entry, a 2500 set of tires isn't going to break you especially since you not only get a track warranty but the other consumables are much cheaper than the competition. |

Race Consumables (gas, tires, pads), hotel, truck gas, entry fees etc. Being the fastest guy on track does come at a price.

GM officials have already stated the C7 Z06 delivers faster lap times than the out going ZR1. So I don't see it having a problem with the C6 Z06, unless they are lying. The ZR1 was almost 3 second quicker around VIR than the C6Z with Z07 package. |

I think the philosophy of the GTR is to maximize grip and traction in order to chase down lap times, all else be damned. With cars like the Vette, RWD 911, M3 etc they are set up to be more interactive, and the lap times come as a consequence of the balance and inherent goodness. Ultimately it doesn't really matter if the lap time will be 7:20 or 7:15 or 7:10. It's still stupid fast, and when I drove on the Ring my main worry was not to end up in the evening news, not my lap time.
