Not much longer to see C7R in action

Loose the wing, paint it black, call it a Z06 and I'm in!

Sorry, I need a bit more ground clearance to get her up my driveway. :lol:

I'd take her anyway!

Now we know what the Z06/ZR1 wide body fenders/quarters will look like.

Sure looks good. I hope the Le Mans Officials give the C7R the same special treatment they gave the Aston Martin and one other new car at the race next year as they did this year. It seems like the Corvette gets the short end of the stick when it comes to competing with euro trash cars.

Ain't that the truth. After the first Corvette win, watch what happens. :eek2:

Awesome looking...huge fender openings!

Rumor at this point but it looks like to stick it to C7R as Eurosnobs bitching is the LT1 cannot be used because of the direct injection and C7R has to use the existing engine C6R has.

If you recall the C6R started with DI and ALMS made GM take it out to slow the cars down.
Excuse then was DI was not stock with production C6s.

Could this be part of the European liberal mindset? If someone stands out from the crowd, and excels due to their own initiative, penalize them instead of demanding the others to increase their own performance.

I know there are a ton of rules in motorsports, supposedly for the sake of providing more competition, like adding weight and reducing horsepower. At some point, however, is it really competition when everything is held down to a lower achievement level?

Maybe winning baseball and football teams could be forced to trade some of their better players to other teams, at the end of the season. You know, to reap the benefits of leveling the playing field.

I'm not picky - I'll take one with a wing if they are offering.

That windshield is so Corvette!

 

[2MchFun]

It looks badass but, like Mike, I would need a little more ground clearance

 

[racingvette]

See the C7R at the auto show in Jan

 

[YumaZ06]

Can't wait! It's going to be awesome.

"Chevrolet Racing will kick off the 2014 season in January with the all-new Corvette C7.R.

The C7.R will make its public debut alongside the new 2015 Corvette Z06 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The two cars were co-developed, representing the closest connection between the racing and road-going Corvettes in modern times.

The C7.R will make its competition debut at the Rolex 24 At Daytona, in Daytona Beach, Fla., on January 25, 2014. When the C7.R takes to the track, it will sport an all-new Jake logo, which has become the unofficial mascot of Corvette Racing."

Can't wait to see them!

Once heck of a large volume dual intake for C7R

Those air boxes are huge! The 2015 Z06 is going to be awesome!

That was a great finish. After 24 hours only about 3 feet apart at the line. And that was through racing not a late caution.
