It's a Pilot Sport Cup ZP. It's the same tire as the Viper tire, except it's the run flat variant (in the same way that the Pilot Super Sport ZP that comes on the Stingray is the same tire as the PSS that I run on my car except that the stingray uses the run flat variant).

New Vipers come with P Zeros or Corsa's

The Sport Cups were available on the C6 Z06 not just the ZR1

Interior of C6 was not as bad as most think......way more refined than the twins



The C7 Z06 will be off the charts capable for a $100,000 car, mine will be shark grey !

Run flat and regular are not the same.

Correct. The run flats are required to have a stiffer sidewall than the non.

Chevy rates new Z06 0-60 in 2.95 seconds

Sub-11, 127 mph quarter mile.

Price estimate <$80K (not including HANS device) must have them burning their bratwurst in Stuttgart.

And that's with the new 8-speed A/T on street tires. The M/T is slower as they predicted. Both have extra cooling and said to be track enduro ready. My Chevy dealer might be taking orders now, wasn't a month ago, not that I'm a buyer anyway.

LOL

BRZZZ was referring to your usage of "MPG" instead of MPH. 127 miles per gallon vs 127 miles per hour.

I love how it's 2.95 seconds, not just 2.9.
