For those of us having problems viewing PDF's tonight, would u mind sharing the performance figures? :P
It looks UNREAL :twisted:

[Erez]

if you could only make it road legal.. that would be cool 8)
anyways.. looks good.. sounds good too.. (specs...)

[mindgam3]

I thought 515hp was too measely for you RC45? ;)

switch the tires/exhaust... it would be road legal... just look at it!

Awsome :-D

edit:
Wheres the widebody? :?

[Minacious]

And here I thought you hated the C6 bodystyle. :D :D

[SFDMALEX]

I like this new GT3 class. Look there is a Galardo, an Aston....:)

BTW This GT3 looks cool, Id change the rims though.

[bmagni]

looks amazing, something comes to my mind... make a road legal version... :twisted:

[gobs3z]

I have a feeling this is road legal other than an air bag, and loud exhaust. The exhaust is a simple fix, i dunno about air bags. But either way they should sell this car like it is as a track car, it's dam reliable but constantly getting 98 octane would be a pain. That can be ramapped and still have more hp on 93.

[SFDMALEX]

/\/\/\It doesnt have an e-brake Im sure, hence not road legal.

[gobs3z]

I'm just implying that it's so much Z06 that it isn't difficult to make street legal, but i wouldn't see the point of it being street legal.

Oh sure.

It's basicly like a 360 Challenge is to the 360 stock.

But the times they set are still very very different.

i agree a Z06 "RS" or something would be AMAZING. and... its power isnt that different from a stock car... i can imagine this car may be as much as 2-3 seconds faster around a track.... like a CS vs a standard 360.

i ownder how much this car cost...? an additional 10k?

Well if you gut a car, put slicks on it, stiffer suspension, and better brakes, what the heck do you think is going to happen. The engine and drivetrain are basically stock and everything done to this car, even down to the carbon fiber parts would cost under $15k, where as a Challenge would be in the $50k range in parts if not more. THe Z06 gt3 is much closer to it's road going car compared to a Challenge and the 360.

I don't mind.. I can park it in first gear.. hehehe

And your point is?

[coloradosilver]

Whoa! 325s in front? With that waight and those tires, you can bet that thing can corner like something wicked.

That this car is much closer to stock than the Challenge is to the 360. The Z06 is based off the C6R while the Challenge is based of the 360 road car. So in reality your just putting the Z06 back to it's original state while your taking a 360 and making it into something it wasn't originally, but the 360 still does a good job at it at a much higher price and the Challenge has a lot less relation to it's road. This isn't too difficult to grasp.

:? Okay so?

The fact remains that its not road legal lol. Sure you can make it road legal, just like you can turn a 360C into a road legal car.

You try to make it sounds as if its just a Z06, well it isnt. It will take the same to make a 360C road legal, and it will take the same amount of work to make that Gallardo and GT3 road legal as it would with this GT3 Vette.

I really don't understand your comparison to the 360c, all i'm pointing out is this is a Z06 to it's basics and it wouldn't be hard to make it road legal, there shouldn't be an argument to this. This isn't a C6R it's a Z06 GT3, it has to have a huge relation to it's road car. What can you possibly argue about with that statement?

well, you cant turn any 360 Challenge into a street legal car... a large portion of them have no title; and therefor, can never be driven on the street. i wonder if the same is true of these Z06 R's ?
the 360 modenas that were converted to challenge spec, can be converted back again... and a 360 challenge with a title can be converted to a road going car...

[FoxFour]

Make the same thing to a regular Z06- just add wing, front splitter and rims. And then you have a streetable package as well. This car is just like the 1995 and 2000 Cobra R models, ready for homologation into a racing series. Could we see these at next years LeMans?

[Nick6]

Now if only they would make a GT2 version.
