#56 of 221 Corvette C6-Rs on front row for 8th annual Petit Le Mans by xkss Sep 30, 2005 (9:48 pm)
Petit Le Mans is a 1,000/10 hour race, whichever comes first.   This will be the third time that the two Corvette C6-Rs have competed with the new Aston Martin DBR9s.   check this link   C6-Rs on front row for Petit Le Mans

#59 of 221 The original Corvette Z06 by xkss Oct 04, 2005 (7:58 pm)
The 1963 Corvette had a Z06 performance option. Only 199 were built and featured stiffer suspension, more powerful brakes, and other cool stuff. It was intended for racing. A Z06 won a race at Riverside, California shortly after it went into production. Also, 1963 was the only year for the split window.   The Z06-specific master cylinder is shown in the first picture.       This Z06 has the rare 36 gallon fuel tank.         2001 and 1963 models.
#63 of 221 Thanks for the history by starrow68 Oct 07, 2005 (7:26 pm)
Just spent the day at Sears Point Raceway and one of the other entries was a C6 Z06, Black and rear end rubber is so wide it looks mean just sitting in the pits. The owner had driven the car back to the SF area from Chicago and had a 2,300 mile trip, in addition to some 12's at the Sacramento drag strip the prior week, just messing around. He did 1.80 for 60 ft on the run flats. Nice to see that there are some that are going to use it for what it was built for. He wasn't running timing so didn't get any lap times. Randy
#64 of 221 American Le Mans Series race at Laguna Seca. by xkss Oct 08, 2005 (2:01 pm)
It is next Saturday (the 15th). It should have even closer GT1 racing than Petit Le Mans (4 vs. 9+ hours of racing).
#65 of 221 Real world price check ... by starrow68 Oct 17, 2005 (8:14 pm)
Or why people have given up on local dealers. Crown Chev, local in Dublin, CA has the new Z06 for $30k over MSRP and according to one local Corvette guy they turned a friend of his down for $20k over. I'm sure they are a low volume dealer so they don't expect to see very many and they can afford to let it sit since it will probably bring in traffic. There are internet dealers taking orders for MSRP, some people just are slow learners.
