Shock Revision 2006 vs 2007 on track

I'm running a 2006 Z06, full roll cage on local very rough track doing lap times...well faster than considered possible by most. The end of the straight can bring speeds up to 165 and the shocks...

Hoosiers are DOT approved but NOT for street use

I agree with these comments, but need to emphasize that I have been using them on a road course for the life of my Z06 and 1) read the fine print and you will see they are NOT approved at all for...

Best tires for Z06

You're kind of stuck. I spend quite a bit of time at the track, and have a C6 Z51 in addition to a Z06 (2006). There are no tires for the Z06 at this point. I put the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's on...

Z06 steering feel

OK, so I took first in my SCCA training qualifying laps in a poorly built car (we all had to drive the same) and first in both races for the license and all that I can tell you is that the car can...

shifter issue 2nd to 3rd

If technique makes such a difference, why would the problem reduce by around 75% by changing to a different oil which reduced temperature of the tranmission oil by 30% or so, and why does it not...

shifter jamming 2nd to 3rd gear

shifter jamming 2nd to 3rd gear

OK, several observations:

1. It definitely occurs when the transmission is hotter.
Switching to Amsoil ATF reduced the issue significantly, but not completely. I noticed that the tranmission...

I purchased an 05 and the only thing I would like, and they may find a way to do it is to fix the manual transmission. I'm with you on this. There are such little changes and none that are...

C6 Shifter Problem 2nd To 3rd

I've been lapping the car pretty hard (took record on track) and I've been running into this problem. It does not appear to be a technique issue, as the other gears shifted in the manner do not have...

c5 z06 modded vs c6 z06

My take on it is that it is all about integration. The number of guys I've seen at the track with c5 z06's with added horsepower and mods that cannot keep up with my stock C6 Z51 is amazing? Why? ...

c6 tranny issues

I race mine, and that is all I use it for and there is definitely an issue with the c6 6 speed, and they think it has to do with too much heat. I push the car perhaps as hard as anyone can, and...

ps2's vs run flats and lap times

Well, The PS2's don't exist for the rears for awhile, so I purchased the BRIDGESTONE POTENZA RE050'S (PERHAPS RE050A'S..one of those two). They are 2nd best to the PS2's for the Vette, and I burned...

I have been tracking the C6 for 3 months now, and it has reached the point where pretty much all porsche owners who spent under 160K on their cars, and all BMW owners have thrown in the towel. I...

Tires to replace Run Flats

With the Z51 package, Michelin PS2's are supposed to be the best, BUT they are not making the rears for another 4 months for some reason. I replaced my run flats with 1500 miles on them (wore them...

Tires to replace F1 Supercar EMT's for Z51

Michelin won't have the rears out for awhile. Not sure if there is a manufacturing issue or what. 4 month wait time was quoted.

I replaced the F1 Supercars with the Bridgestone Potenza RE050's. ...

1. If you plan on ever driving the car hard, you need the Z51. There is not even a remote comparision between the two cars when it comes to performance. I use mine ONLY for the track, so I have to...

23k miles on runflats?

I just replaced my Z51 runflats at 1500 miles. Yup. 1500. The car is only used at the track though, so I guess that explains it. It was good to know how much I would get out of them, and 1500 was...
