First Vette Ever...my C7.R
Hi all, just picked up a C7.R a couple months ago, first time owning a vette and loving it. Back around memorial day of this year i raced a Z06 in my RS7. Didnt realize how lightweight the vette is and how fast the supercharger spooled. Went home started researching it more and had to have one in my garage, bang for the buck no brainer. Still love driving my RS7 but the pure raw american built torque is awesome in my Z06.
So far I've done a haltech carbon fiber intake, blacked out the reflectors and mounted some Signature Design wheels by Deity Motorsports. Looking to do a x pipe and akrapovic exhaust next, then tune for E85 any suggestions on the E85 setup would be great.
Here are some pics:

Most aftermarket wheels don't appeal to me, especially if they are black because you really can't see the details of the wheel. That being said your wheels look awesome! I really like how the bolts pick up the color of the calipers. Great choice.

First time Vette owner............ welcome
Car looks good and you have already done some personalization; which makes you a true member of the brotherhood.
C7R version of the Z06 is rare bird..........

Definitely nice setup! Love the wheels, are they Strasse? What sizes are the PS4S's? They look sharp!
Just out of curiosity, what differences are there in the C7.R vs a Z07?

Didn't realize the RS7 weighed 900 lbs more than the Z06 and with less HP and torque to pull all that pork around.

Yep weighs close to a 1k lbs more but mine at stage+ has roughly 100hp than the stock z06, but with the weight its a piggy. Have to keep the turbos spooled on RS7 to stay about even with my vette. Did a couple pulls a couple weeks ago with me in the vette and a friend in the RS7 that was somewhat familiar with driving the RS7. From a dig tho the awd in the audi makes it hard for my vette to catch up at the moment with minimal mods that is.

Great wheel choice. I'm a big fan of that design. I feel like asymmetric wheels are a growing trend. I ordered asymmetric ones for mine. I like how your bolts match the calipers, though that may just be caused by it being a photo. I also like the concavity of the rear wheels.
