Even if you account for tires the C8Z is likely a track dependent battle with the ZR1. Put them on Road America, ZR1 wins, put them at Barber, C8Z wins (In my opinion). In most successive vehicle...

​​​​​​​6 seconds is too big of an estimate. However on a track like Willow with lots of steady state cornering, you do lose a LOT of time when grip falls off because you are bleeding time constantly...

Chevy has lost billions of dollars by not creating a true Motorsports division, and in fact even deterring professional teams from racing Corvettes. Ask Lou G about that. One of the worst decisions...

The difference between 2 and 2r's is huge! 2R's literally have Michelin slick compound mixed in with street compound, they fall off and wear out extremely quickly. They are made for the hero laps.

Valid point but unfortunately GM has never graced us with a real track Corvette. Like no holds barred track Corvette akin to an ACR or the new RS. In fact, they made more track ready Camaro's than...

There has never been a huge performance gap between a GT3 and RS until this latest iteration, so NO, there is not a big difference. The GT3 to RS is just like a Z06 to Z07 package.

Well it can't...

It does look over the top for sure. But the day is coming where we will wish for nonsensical looking race type cars with gas engines like an ACR, C7 ZR1or GT3 RS. Now is the time to soak it all in...

Porsche has that ring time down to a science, and this new RS is more like the first 996 GT3 RS. Doesn't care about looking gaudy, just purpose built speed. The better comparison will be the...

Even on ABS he doesn't exit the track at that speed and carry that far. That car wasn't stopping. And the data looks to show a delay between the application and the slowing down. I'd check for air...

Will try to wait for a Grandsport. Want the wide body but with NA. But if the Z06 is close to GT2 RS speed, I may fold.

120-130 mph is not really up top though. Not for modern sports cars. This car should still trap 120's consistently. With a 0-60 of sub 3, that should easily be sub 12.

This will be short term difference at most. At 60k, after a few years and some depreciation, there will be a ton of mid engine Corvettes running around. Once that happens, the novelty is gone. ...
