Thing with Z06 they have the 4x4 look to them--they all need to be lowered some.

Terrence

Yep. 285 or 295. I forget. Rears are 335! And they are Sport Cup 2. When I first got the car, I looked at the tires, and I thought, "Why are they already bald?" Haha! Then I realized what they are. Reminds me of there GT3RS. Supersoft and almost no tread.

I remember the ZR1 was supposed to already have Brembo ceramics from an Enzo or FXX. Wonder if these ones are even "badder" ***!

Terrence

I wanted to do it the first day, but I actually realized that the front is already so low that there are certain driveways I don't want to visit as the front spoiler is not rubber but full real carbon. I am already rubbing a bit if I back out of my house's driveway instead of driving forward. I don't really want to buy a real carbon front spoiler every few months, LOL! There are some people in the Corvette forum that have gotten it lowered though. It is just adjusting the bolts and getting an alignment.

I will see how it works out for them, and if its good, maybe I will do it too.

kosmo

yes, the ZR1 are exactly the same specs as the Enzo. I've heard its carried over for the z06

Splitter material is one of the discussions I've had with GM tech reps a couple of times. I went through 3 of them on my ZR1.

GM needs to think track friendly running costs not just good aero. $1700 splitters don't grow on trees.

I know. Certainly looks awesome though.

Terrence,

Great looking car, and nice to see you trying all different brands of cars. I recognize that parking lot too.

FYI, some guys are are actually able to fit a 315/30 tire up front on a C7 Stingray, so a Z06 should not have an issue fitting a tire that large. Unfortunately, they don't make a Sport Cup 2 in that size yet but maybe in the near future.

Where did you get your Z06?

Terrence

Bunnin Chevrolet.

I am thinking getting a set of Pilot Supersport for street use. The Cup tires seem a waste cruising to Starbucks!

Have you guys noticed that PSC2 tires on Z06 are very different from PSC2 on GT3? The tread is only half and deep and does not go all the way to the shoulder. They look almost like slicks, while PSC2s on GT3 look like slightly beefed up Pilot Super Sports. I wonder if compounds are different too... Kind of strange to see so much difference for supposedly the same tire.

Terrence

I thought the 997GT3 came and 991GT3 comes with Pilot Super Sport and only the 997RS's (and probably the 991RS) come in Cup tires. Am I incorrect?

skxf430

My old 997GT3 came with Corsa Systems but others were getting Sport Cups, and Super Sports weren't even being made at that time. The 991GT3's now come with Sport Cup 2's.

Terrence, I would switch to Super Sports on the Z06 if you don't plan on tracking the car.

Also, do not take your car to Bunnin for service. They have little to no clue of what they are doing.

Terrence

Ok. So which Chevy dealership do you recommend? Bunnin is the closest and they are not even that close, LOL.

But yes, I don't recall the tires on the GT3 as aggressive as the Z06. These shoulders are just bald!

MileHigh911

They have MPSC ZP, 80 wear rating with a completely different design, similar to old MPSC shoulder design

skxf430

I guess for a simple oil change Bunnin can't screw it up too much. LOL

But, the best dealership is Rydell in Northridge, but you have to ask for Donny Yorke to work on your car. He is their master mechanic, and he has worked for Callaway Corvette, and he specializes on working on Corvettes and Z06's.

Terrence

Great. Thanks for the tip. Not too far for just service which I expect to be maybe once a year.
