How will ZR1 get 620hp to the pavement?
I have enough trouble with a running Viper PS2's on stock rims on my 2006 C6 Z06. Unless it's 80 degrees (Farenheight) or hotter, the tires won't hold full throttle roll on in first gear unless they've been spun a few times (a potentially very expensive ticket). If the temperature is 65 degrees or colder, even partial throttle roll-on becomes an issue, although it's no where near as bad as the stock run flats were.
I read that the gearing was only increased slightly from 61mph in 1st to 64mph. Running the Viper 345/30/19 on my rears bumped the speed from 61mph to 62.5mph, (2.5% increase in diameter), and it's still not enough.
I wonder if the ZR1 is going to have traction issues in 2nd gear.
