Corvette C6R Breaks Cover.......
« on: August 25, 2004, 10:21:05 pm »
Snapped sureptitiously in the hermatically sealed Pratt & Miller tent at Road America, during private testing last week.
Is this the first glimpse of the successor to the totally dominant C5R?
Judging by it's sinister looks, I sure hope so....

Hi Robbo,
try the second link - I'm dumb when it comes to stuff like this computer malarky. Alternatively, just go to www.corvetteforum.com - there is a link on the homepage with more (but not very revealing) pix.
Apparently, it was struggling to match C5R pace at the test, but them dudes at Pratt and Miller know what they're doing and will have it dialed-in soon enough.

You've got to be kidding, re the NSX - and don't give her any ideas! She'll stick with Chuggaboom (PT Cruiser) and bloody well like it!

From what I've read the biggest problems with the new C6R revolve around the tail of the car.  The C6 is a good bit smaller than the C5 and the tail is shorter.  Pratt & Miller anticipated some problems as a result of this hence the early start on the testing of the new car.  As Matt said Pratt & Miller will have it well sorted by its debut next season especially with a R&D driver as talented as Ron Fellows doing the testing work.

Yeah , looks good, and smaller, but that could be due to the piccie.

I pressume the engine remains from the C5R. Thats a beast.
