@PulletSurprise Thanks for clearing that up but i still want to know if the use the same monocoque as a production corvette and then fitted with the roll cage and other racing bits or is it all a tubular chassis and fited with panel to resemble a corvette kind like nascar only this one handles. i hate that here in the sates alms is not as popular and get many documentaries on it like we do on nascar. what about other manufactures do they use the same process or is there more homologation?

@lbm323 The chassis, body and structural components would not be interchangeable on a road going Z06 or C6 and a C6-R. C6-R's were built around a roll cage and larger fuel cells out of hydro-formed steel with carbon fibre used for the body panels and to stiffen and strengthen portions of the car. Many of the suspension components and some of the engine parts are interchangeable, though. Like most GT class cars, they'll use OEM parts to complete the car after the racing part is done being made.

The C6R(GT1) is a purpose built race car with the C6ZO6 engine (7.0). It is from the ground up. The C6S(GT2) Is an extremely modified regular C6 (6.2L). Because there is no one else in the GT1 class anymore(just the two compuware Corvettes) They are going to bump down to the GT2 class.

@Specialized1989 I'm guessing you are talking about the ones right behind the American flag? They show what position the car is in. 1 light for 1st place, 2 lights for 2nd. With the 4 different classes that race in ALMS it can be hard to tell who is in first sometimes.

I wonder what will happen in GT1. I hope that Corvette still dominates! The sanctioning body, I'm sure will try to take power away through air restriction from the 6L because it will still be a larger engine than it's competion accept maybe the Aston.

Most important reason for MC12 to not be able to race at Le Mans is not the minimum production criteria (they could make and sell a 100 of those cars tomorrow) but rather the fact the car is too long (!) to meet ACO's GT regulations.

@OndrausCissell15 жыл бұрын
What I meant was when the Corvette moves to GT1 it will could use the 6L instead of the 7L as it has been reported through several services. Because even a 6L would obviously be a bigger engine than the Porsche or the Ferrari regardless.

Seeing how supersupercars sell, I wouldn't be surprised there's one guy buying 100 just for the heck of it. Competition or not, collectioning, rarity and price are 3 parameters who only come as pairs, not trio's.
