R&L's C6

Depends....are we talking about actual track use or Sunday drives to the Dairy Queen, where 90+% of them will live their lives.

Are you saying we have to chose between driving to an out-of-town track somewhere or a Peanut Buster Parfait?

Mmmmmmmm That sounds good right now.

I'm saying I hope that wing has cup holders because it will be used as a picnic table more than anything else....

Picnic tables don't have cup holders

Looks or functional, let's keep it simple . . .

Looks good, The front fascia takes some design cues from the new Camaro ZL1 (better cooling?).

I think that the announcement of the Camaro ZL1 1LE track package may indicate that the camo mule, and the subject of this thread, may indeed be a similar Z06 track package or maybe the updated Z07 package that focuses on reducing weight and improving suspension and grip.

I would think that whatever it is, the 2018 Z06 would share the front fascia with the additional cooling vents and perhaps the revised hood vent. I would not want that wing for daily street use, however it would be nice if it was a removable feature similar the center wicker bill. Perhaps the package offers both the street version and track version rear spoiler.

The C&D article is standard auto rag fluff. The pictures and artist renditions are also pretty lazy. They airbrush "ZR1" onto the side vents yet leave the Z06 logo on the Z06 wheels.

I wouldn't be surprised if the family trees of some members here don't have any branches...

If it really does sport both the Z51 spoiler and that huge wing, perhaps they will design it so the huge wing can be neatly and easily unbolted for normal non aggressive street driving. I would not want to be the douche driving around town with a huge wing like that but would like to be able to quickly bolt it on for occasional track days, shows, etc.

I never liked the ZO6 spoilers. If the ZR1 came with the Z51 spoiler and a bolt on/off wing, that would be a huge plus for me. Also, I think the front bumper looks far better than the current Z06 front bumper.

I also thinK the front fender vent will have a ZR1 specific design (like the c6 ZR1). I don't think they will just stick a ZR1 emblem in there where the ZO6 one was...that is, assuming this thing is actually called a ZR1 rather than a ZO6x or such...

Whether the Big A$$ Wing will be removable and/or optional, no one knows right now.

MikeyTX

Geeze ........... I can just imagine the amount of bracing under that thing in the body.

One of the ugliest Corvettes I've ever seen...GM can't be serious, can they???

sunsalem

Good point.
The trunk lid would have to be heavily reinforced structurally...
Hmmmm, would the lid have to be a 2 piece setup???

MikeyTX

I really could not see buying that car. The Z is more than I can handle as is.

ZenicaPA

I'm not a professional driver and I doubt many here are (if any) so form should replace function. For HPDE, the existing wing is enough no?

sunsalem

Like the ACR, it would be a Track Car, not something really suited to the streets.

IMO, anyone driving it on the streets regularly would be a Poser, suffering from a lack of...uh....

None are.
A "professional driver" would be driving a Race Car, not a street car.

Yes it is.

same hood treatment as the ZL1 1LE.
