I just learned there is a Dodge Viper cup for the new ACR-X.

There's Ferrari Challenge.
GT3 Cup
Dodge Viper Cup
*Mustang* Challenge.

Why is there not a corvette challenge!! Instead of the carbon edition Z06 GM needs to sell a track ready C6 from the factory.

I agree!

Give me a GS with a cage, fixed roof ala Z06, Brembos, fire system, Dailey dry sump setup w/ AC delete, upgraded cooling, headers w/ offroad X-pipe, lightweight clutch/FW assembly, lightweight catback (like the Katech system), adjustable sway bars, coil-overs w/ adjustable shocks, the ZR1 splitter and skirts, and adjustable rear spoiler.

Get in line! The carbon edition is at least a step in the right direction. Getting there.....IMO, lighten up the carbon edition with 18" diameter wheels (center lugs if they can), sparco Evo "like" seat to accommodate harness, bbk brembo/ap brakes & adjustable coilover & there's our "corvette cup"!

With the current people controlling GM I would bet on a hybrid Cobalt Cup before a Corvette cup.

AU N EGL

called the Grand Sport

I received a hint of some track special vette to appear at the NCM HPDE event next summer.

LOL Daniel yeah would be nice to have a corvette cup and I am sure it would get alot of interest.

for some of those other cup series are all the cars usually transported together by a few semis around to each race?

GM wants nothing to do with it. I've discussed with Callaway their selling the GT3 cars in the US, but they don't seem to interested either. There are Corvette-only races in SCCA TCC, but it's a hodge-podge of rules and mods.

I've come very close to jumping ship to Viper or Porsche in the past just because they sell a car ready to race.

Best Corvette race group seems to be NASA ST2



Cobalt production has ended.

Perfect Viper for someone to get started on if you can talk the owner down 10k or more

I thought that was simply a wide body package on the base C6?

Of course there is lots of club corvette racing out there, SCCA and NASA. I'm not talking about build-your-own though. There is a huge advantage to a single prep series (racing wise, not wallet wise) and certainly GM could use the PR. All the cars are basically the same and having the manufacturer support is huge. Not to mention the TV coverage. If the Viper and Mustang have their series the vette should also.

Grand Sport

yes wide body C6 with dry sump for the manual trans, plus oil cooler, trans cooler and ZO6 suspension. All it needs is to be gutted, a cage and a tune to get ride of the nanneis


Some of us have a few contacts at Chevy and have been preaching this for a few years.





again NASA ST 2 and a few C6Z06s or C5s with a bigger motor in ST1 This is the corvette race series for most guys who race

Yep, bring back the Corvette Challenge series !

Agreed, is the red tape @ Gm blocking factory built track car. FORD has 1.

well you can ask the powers that be.

The Viper ACR-X comes from the factory WITH a cage.

Round one of the Viper Cup is being shown at 2 pm on Versus TV. They are at VIR. I believe that round 2, also at VIR, is being shown next weekend.
