The C6 Z06 has been in SS since it came out. Hmm, C5Z's are going for low 20k's right now, pretty tempting...

Mako, on your first championship event in SS Z06 you finished 3rd only 0.428 back... and you improved by about 1 second every run so looks like you perhaps left some time out there that you can get as you learn the car...
Abbott had a really bad day and I had beginners luck, ie. I was too scared of the car and the doubled up cones to push it, proving that Grip is fast compared to Abbott sliding around (too much ... by his own admission).

LOL, so much for only looking at the results and not being there talking to the people... :oops:

Yeah, C6 Z06 was in SS from the get go... perhaps the Lynches started running ASP with C5 Z06 wheels and R tires because there was none available in C6 Z06 size at the time...?

Anyway, I was itching to get a C5 Z06 again until I sat in one and remembered why I got the C6 - it just fits my 6'3"/230 size so much better (and the telescope steering column also helps which is not an available option in the C5 Z06).

The Lynches C6 Z06 is stock except for R tires,
As far as I know, they run the C6 in ASP because it has 18" rear wheels. Stock is 19" but there's no R' comp fitment.

There are Rs for 19 now... couple of choices I believe... but did not use to be available a few years ago...
