Anyone need one ?

Is it a US Car?

I'm trying to convince Robert to buy it for me in exchange for a salary reduction.

NOCRISIS

careful what you wish for,

SilverSurferC6

That would be cool. Then I'd take it to Mosport and show the Z06 guys. I'd have to learn to be a better driver first and make sure I put it on a trickle charger when I'm not driving

1000 bux says Bob in his Z06 is faster than anyone (track day runner) short of pros like Ronnie in a ZR1 straight up at Mosport

Snobike Mike

Careful, he may give you 1 of the 2 you ask for and it would probably be the latter....

VETFEVER

I'm gonna check my desk and couch for loose change - I might find some loonies and toonies!!

What are Bob's laptimes? (I ask before making the bet... )

qwikredline

doesnt matter. Here is the deal.
ZR1
more power
different brakes
same suspension
different wt balance front cg
minor aero improvement
Z06
Less power
different brakes
different wt balance

same tire contact patch


at the track: (pure numbers)
ZR1
faster out of 5 up the straight to 8 maybe 10 mph big win here. But then gotta slow for 8 (woooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!)
faster out of 10 to 1 for 2 seconds total (meh)

Z06
Faster thru 1, 2 3 and down 4 thru 5 a thru 8 9 and 10 (ya man)


now to driver:

ZR1 cant get power down out of 3 and afraid to hammer it thru 1, 2, 8, 9 and 10.

Z06 (BOB) hammer down!
qwiker....

Oh I almost forgot: after 5 laps the ZR1 IAT2's are off the scale and the engine ecu pulls spark big time, so that at the end of 30 minutes the ZR1 has potentially LESS POWER THAN BOB ! Oh the shame of it all .....

Got change for a million

Wonder if they would give me $70,000 for my 02.

How do lap times not matter? In the end, that's all that really matters; there are too many factors that can make a "slow" car fast and a "fast" car slow, and most of that has to do with the carbon unit behind the wheel.

(I wasn't thinking of bringing a ZR1, just my stock Z06... I'm always up for a challenge! )

I'm pretty sure the magnetic ride helps. It's not the same.

MSTRBLUE

You should make him a pitch ...Dragon's Den style

MSTRBLUE

If any one is interested (and this does appear to be an excellent price), a couple of words of advice when dealing with LMC.

1. Don't drive up in your vette.

2. Never mention to "The Incident"

qwikredline

right that magnetic ride is indeed not the same and come to think of it , the secret metal strips buried in the track at Mosport combined with that magnetic ride make the ZR1 comparable to, say, an ALMS R8 TDI race car

There's nothing secret about the metal strips, everyone knows you have to put rebar in concrete, especially in northern climates! What GM really needs to do on the next gen magnetic ride is also use that for forward pull and not just downforce, so we can run the Corvette Monorail at Mosport!
