It’s going to be the top, top dog for GM. I hope they take a few lbs out of it (not for acceleration’s sake, obviously it’s going to do just fine there, more for handling… particularly transitions) and stiffen up at least the front spring considerably. A C6 Z06 rides damn nice, anybody that bitches it’s too stiff/harsh needs to buy a Cady. -TJ --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-z06-vette-to-be-called-the-zr1/192251)._
