Tanker is right bout the DR's. Hard to find a set for the C6 Z06's unless you go to C5 Z06 rims. I used BFG drag radials on my 02 Z06 because it wheel hopped so bad in 2nd. This car seems to smoke or haze the tires instead of hoppping so much. Of course lost traction means lost time.
Thx George... I only get 5-10 passes a year @ the strip, so I need to make the best of it during those few runs.
I'm worried abt the clutch in the car, as I know they glaze quickly & will leave one w/ a dropped pedal if too aggressive.
