You know, the factory always has a strong Corvette display at Daytona, so there may actually be a Z06 down there....???

Is this Zen?

If so, I'll have to concede defeat, buy you a beer, and drink it for you to honor the bet...

Wow those are some strong words from Dave! As a Vette convert i am enjoying that they are stepping up on the C7 options.

Hard to beat bang for the buck. Buddy of mine on here got a ridiculous quote for a 996TT trans rebuild. The P car tax is harsh!

My next P car will be a 996 with an LS conversion.

This stuff just keeps on getting better and better.
That's partly why I decided to sell my car.

Helps to read the news some times; this is actually old news:

So yeah, it'll be out in a matter of days.

Hopefully the Z06 eliminates that huge C7 wheel-to-fender gap. Just doesn't look right.

Thought about this a little. So basically they just added a camera and are making the data that the black box is recording available for viewing through the infotainment controls.

MORE than that, the data and video is written to an SD card for analysis later.

They've teamed up with Cosworth Electronics (formerly Pi) and not only allowed an output stream from the data recorder, but changed the format so that it can be written to an SD card, imported into a laptop as a log file (with synchronized video) and written a "Pi Toolbox Video Lite" software program to visualize and compare the logged data, much the same as Racelogic's Circuit Tools 2.

Pretty phenomenal...
