:D The C-6 Z06 will only be available in a hard top. Expect 500 hp. with aluminium frame rails, maybe some other trick body parts like the hood! Also look for a front end with air inlets for front brake cooling, think Porsche GT2 size. Rear brake air scoops, trans & oil coolers as std...

Yep, GM crate motor is the safest way to go. Either the ZZ4 (has options) or the fast burn 383 will work!

:D I've had a 96 C-4 coupe, a 98 C-5 coupe, an 01 Z06, and now an 04 Z06. Simply stated... each year the VETTE gets better. Buy the latest year you can afford! Low milage is desirable, and of coarse... no accidents!

:D: C4C5 ur the Best!!! Correcting yourself on the 04 Z06 lowering issue... my compliments!!! :) For those of us who "Take It to the TRACK" (road course), lowering the car and corner balancing along with a "racing Alignment" are the very 1st things we do! Then we look at brakes(racing pads)...

The C6 "Blue Devil" will be the Super Vette Lutz was talking about when he said " they will have a Corvette that will SUCK the doors off the GT 43 & Viper". 625 hp. or so with a projected curb weight ~ 2900 lbs. should do the job! Now @ 100 LARGE, the market becomes somewhat smaller! For...

1st Clue... Well, since 1997 I have only heard of ONE... or is it now TWO people... who thought that the limited slip rear end was controled electricly by the ECU !!! Any one with track experience... KNOWS BETTER!!! 2nd clue... simular tone and a chip on the shouder about ... having...

Go to www.Z06Vette.com for this thread! Then go to the "Pit Road" section to look up the posts!

:( Y'all might want to look at a posted thread by someone called Silver Streak in Canton, Ga. The title is "High Speed oversteer" in the Pit Road section, and seems to be simular to this one! If its an issue with the car's mechanicals, take it to a dealer! :( The rear end is NOT electricly...

:D Armor-all seems to work quite well. ;) I use it to keep the appearance up... and its use seems to also keep the weatherstrip soft & plyable!!!

:D Yep.... sounds like a "traction control" thingie's messing up! :) Get "all" the current up-dates... on my 01 Z06 there had to be a dozen or so up-dates about a year ago. I had to "ASK" the tech. to up-date the system... in order to get it done! ;) Sometimes they "just can't be bothered"...

:D Good points Hib & Fast Dog! I still think GM's gotta take the C6 Z06 to 500 hp. simply because.... "every other high performance car" is gonna have 500 ponies! ;) A 427 will give us the 500 hp. easily! And its a MAJIC NUMBER too ! :) The Ford GT "43" may be able to hang with the...

:( I got burned with the first year model... 01 Z06... and I was "lucky" not to get an "oil burner"! The 02 bumped hp. from 385 to 405, dropped the "pup-cats" and added the "HUD". ;) I'm gonna try to wait until the 2nd year of the new C6 Z06 (who am I kidding?)... if I can "hold out" ROFL.

:) Easiest up-grade for the std C-5 is to get a Z06 lid! :D Ken Flitchner (sp?) has em for > $50.00, I think. He's listed on the Corvette Forum.

:L Hhmmm, automatic transmissions aren't known for being... EFFICIENT !!! :) That being a fact... and wanting the car to be a "daily Driver"... heres wishing you good luck!

:( I don't think you can get 400 rwhp and still have a daily driver with the LT-1. Try Rippy, Mallet, and Lingenfelter(sp?) web sites for engine info! :) Now if your talking "crankshaft" hp. (~350 @ rear wheels), yeah that should be do-able!

;) Naw.. don't do THAT. :) If you do.... YOU will hear transmission rattle, VALVE TRAIN noise, and FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.... don't back off the THROTTLE, or you will hear POPPING from your exhaust!!! :D Brian... The Z06 is for the "HARD CORE" CORVETTE DRIVER !!! The rough EDGES go...

:D I'm with you LT.... ;) I sure hope my $64,000 question is... "just a figure of speech" !

:D Yep! Until some guy takes his New GT "43" to the track and gets blown away by a car that costs a third of his "BABY"!!! ;) Some one WILL bring a Ford GT to Road Atlanta! Only question is "When"?

:D We may have a clue to the C6's body dtyle... but... we don't have all the trim fittings that are SO imporant to the final product. Nor do we have the weights, engine details, interior, and handling capabilities. For me, the $64,000 question is... what power,weight, and suspension can we...
