C6 Z06 Al frame may present a problem
The hydroformed Aluminum frame in the C6 Z06 while saving weight may present some problems for race car builders:
1. Will it be stiff enough?...In Torsion? & Flex?
2. What are it's harmonics? Will extra gusseting be necessary?
3. How much rough driving and "rubbing" will it be able to handle. Will tapping the wall bend it beyond repair?
4. Will repairs be prohibitively more expensive?
5. It will be interesting to see how a mandated Chrome Moly steel cage or rollbar will be welded to the Aluminum frame.
