I respect the Viper, but I'd still rather own the Corvette.

What about overheating? Just because you put aero on the z06 does not mean we solved the heat issue.

Aero would solve heating. Both have a ram air scoop but the Viper has loovers/vents on the hood and fenders, not to mention the larger grill and exterior opening, which might be for oil coolers and/or brake cooling. This is more GM wanting something less aggressive looking or just a style choice.

In any case, I wouldn't mind driving a Z06 on slicks from my house to Laguna Seca, but wouldn't bother and just pick up a tire trailer to drag along, still a lot cheaper than trying to shade tree mechanic an effective aero package. |

Again, I wonder how much affect did the wing, diffuser, front splitter, hood louvers and bumper wings have on dropping the ACR times. Five seconds difference is a lot, so was it all just aero grip that took five seconds off the TA time or was it something else? |
