Pratt & Miller did some amazing and innovative things with their C6RS. If memory serves correct from when I spoke to them, the conversion costs around $160,000 not including the cost of the Z06. It's a complete package inside and out. Far be it from me to question Pratt & Miller but one thing I found odd (innovative?) was the use of the rubber, air-bladder suspension. The first ads for the C6RS said something about from the street to the track but that was pulled almost immediately. As with all the 'big name' Corvette conversions you lose the warranty if you track the car. There's no question, however, for someone with money to burn on a hot Corvette street car the C6RS is the ****.

Thanks for sharing the videos.

It is a great car. You do not need to have a Z06 to have the conversion done. They will do it to any C6 and you pick and choice what you want done.

Cool car! I like it. To be fair, it has a reupholstered steering wheel from a Cobalt. Not that I totally disagree, I just wish these car reviewers could at least come up with something unique and less exaggerated to explain something that isn't perfect.
