Pratt Miller C6RS vs ZR-1 vs Callaway C16

[z06nut]

Since before the ZR-1 was released, I posed the question, "who is the top dog?"
I'm sure I'm not alone. How can we make this happen? I'm tired of the comparisons of the GTR, Ferrari and Viper. I want to see these super siblings battle.

Who's with me?

Y'all should know the specs by now.

i'd love to see that comparison also

The C6RS would win on a tight race course. 1/4 mile would probably go to the C16. Comfort would go to the ZR1. All good cars.

Something tells me they'd be gassy under the sheets.

I just wrote a letter to the editor of Corvette Magazine about wanting to see this happen and I was not alone. Everyone should send a letter to show them just how much interest there is to see this happen.

Here's a link.

ditto on the letter, lets see if we can make this happen, post when you have written

[z06nut]

I just got this reply from Eric.

Cool idea, Tony.

Thanks,
eric

If the guys at Corvette magazine are looking for a ZR1 and a C6RS I can help them out, but no luck with the Callaway. I have the first two and while both awesome cars that perfomr well on the track they are not really track cars. A mildly modified Z06 with coilovers, haeders a tune up and some port work can run right with either of these two based mostly on weight ans having the proper spring rates to allow for better handling.

The MR suspension on the ZR1 feels more secure than the air ride on the C6RS but both cars are a little undersprung as a comnpromise for their primarily street driven duties. The MR start to soften up after 4 or 5 laps where remote resevoir shocks wouldn't
