Default C6 R corvette is awesome...

On Saturday i attended the Long Beach Grand Prix and the C6R vette was in attendance in the LeMans Class....let me just say that this car is wicked! sounds awesome and ran like a champ....the top two spots went to two vettes and 3rd went to a Ferrari, which was 2 laps behind. The sound coming from the exhaust was great and the acceleration was second to none...Great Car!

Amazing race cars...much of the credit belongs to Katech... those cars ran the entire series last year without a single engine failure.

Well with the C6.R the "R" is well derserved. I can see saying that about street cars, but the C6.R is a race car, hence the R. Now if it were a street car, I could see your beef, but come on man, this Vette is a pure bred racing machine.

yeah the C6.R car's are sweet. people thought GM and Corvette couldn't compete with the Foreign cars but the C5.R did the job and the C6 is keeping it up

Here's some pics I took at Sears Point during the C6's debut season. Take a look at the 4th picture. That's the Corvette Corral, and I didn't get more than 1/2 or two thirds of the cars in that pic!


The other Corvette is Lou G.'s Speed World Challenge car.

If I can I'll dig up some pictures from Laguna Seca, and I think I have some video clips.

I saw the C6R at the chiago auto show. Best part of the whole car: on the B pillar, there is the punisher logo, except corvette flage for eyes. I'll try and find a pic of it

Oh yeah they do. I'm working on a cirtain game (I won't say which, but I will say it's on the Xbox 360) that has the C6.R in it. To me, it is the best sounding car in the whole game. It kills the Ferrari's on sound hands down.
