- N/A
- 3050 lb.
- Wide Body with proper width tires at least 325mm in the rear
- Different Rear End - SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!
- Manual only
- At least 600HP
I was blown away by the C6 Z06 and this above should be the natural evolution to the next C7 Z06 - lets see what they come up with.

We want the weight to come down, but I also see many people wanting FI and 3000lb car. That will be tough to do. Since we will have to add about 75lbs or so just for the FI kit. If I had my wished for Z06 I would want the following:
3100lbs
575hp NA Motor (Would love more but not sure if they could and still be NA)
Larger tires (Does not have to be as big as old Z06 tires just something inbetween C7 and old Z06)
Option of either 7 speed manual or DCT (They should offer this so they at least have something "on par" to the P-Cars of the world.)

I love all the people saying they want bigger this and more that but to make it lighter and only cost about what a loaded up base car will cost.
More content = more weight. More content while maintaining the same weight or even shedding weight requires exotic materials which equates to serious cost increases.
We've already seen the car from Keek's CADs. It'll have:
1. Taller rear lip spoiler that extends further forward a bit.
2. A body colored rear end (or it could be that the CAD didn't show which parts would be black).
3. Quarter panel flares that flow into the rear fascia so any copies will have to buy a fascia as well.
4. Rear fascia will have larger lower side vents with a different grill pattern.
5. Carbon brakes with larger wheels with a fork pattern.
6. Wider fenders with a more subtle flare when compared to a C6 widebody with a different vent insert/trim.
7. Supercharged LT1 known as the LT4.
If you add in the original Jalopnik C7 renderings:
8. Front splitter
9. Rocker panel air inlets
Not sure if this car will be called the L-88 or if GM renewed its trademark on that for a future super hi-po variat.
Personally, I'd like the "Z06" variant of the C7 to be a light weight track-focused version of the car. Deleting AFM would allow a host of weight-saving changes.
Then leave the L-88 to be a ZR1 type supercar/grand tourer.

I will be happy with what GM puts out. Will I tweak the car yes. There will always those that want this or that. I would really like the car to be available for purchase now. Not 12 -18 months from now.

I want two flavors - the "I want a wide body and talking rights" and a T/A like package (new Z07) for track days ala Viper ACR, Viper TA or Z06 X concept.
- Keep it simple
- Direct connection to C7R
- LW priority over HP/TQ
- NA
- Stout enough to run 24 hours DE at Sebring as is. No non-safety mods - nothing a hard core HPDE person wouldn't have access to or do in a few days prep (brake fluid, pads, alignment)
- Competition Plus seats with 6 point pass through.
- Refined, performance orientated PTM
ZO7 package:
- Alcantara steering wheel
- Carbon Carbon brakes from ZR1
- Aero like C7R - splitter and stepped wing (see Mikymu's Z06).
- I'd love to have re-inforeced mounting points for 4 point (and hell, 6 point) roll bars.

1. ABS that can be set to pure race tune (no VSES or AHS at all)
2. better track brakes
3. +100 hp/tq
4. better cooling systems for all components
5. 18 x 12 / 18 x 13 wheels fr/r

I forgot that carbon brakes in my previous post. Gotta have those!

Forged motor !!!
Lightweight wheels with wider tires (grey color wheel option)
Aero kit
More color options for calipers & get rid of the stingray emblem
Carbon brake option
Fixed roof
Handle for emergency brake (no electric)
Manual standard & DCT optional
Optional rear end ratios
Tune on the fly for E85
650/600 HP TQ on hi test more for E85 (better than having to buy expensive racing fuel)
No cylinder deactivation
Starting at under 80

A whole lot or dreams in here.
575hp through a 440 n/a motor. Wider wheels and tires, and 3200 lbs wet. Probably cost 90k...

Track focused, lighter weight, marginal power bump over C6Z:
AFM Delete
Aluminum or CF Torque Tube
Carbon Ceramic Brakes
Fixed Roof
Ti Exhaust with minimal valving
Lightweight Manual Seats
Alcantara seat inserts, shift ****, and steering wheel
Integrated Data Aqcuisition/Camera (with good exhuast mic)
Simplified speaker system
Normally Aspirated Engine with ~530+ HP
Aero Upgrades
Wider Wheels/Tires
I would estimate $85,000 price (about $15,000 above loaded Z51) with the above (Carbon Brakes and Ti Exhaust being significant cost adders, but lets imagine a high-end tuned version of the LT1: higher compression, more aggressive cams, but sharing most other components to help offset the cost).

I've had two supercharged vettes. Love the centrifical style blowers. But for a Z car, I want it N/A. And my next vette(which I know I will mod), will end up with a big cube motor with no boost(though I am still keeping my C5 for those long highway nights when 800hp is requested
)
