Why start with a zo6 ?

i am not sure i understand your question

[vr4tune]

I think wrath is wondering why stat with a z06 instead of a regular c6 vette

to me, it's like comparing an SL to a VR-4. completely different cars. i love the way z06 looks much better. aluminum frame. 7L engine. better drivetrain. wider rear tires, etc.

I was wondering the same thing. Kind of like putting new axles and lockers in my Rubicon when it already came with it from the factory. Could have started from a base Jeep and gotten the same result. If there are frame differences between the z06 and a base c6 it makes sense. I was unaware they were that far different. I thought they were an engine/brakes/appearance thing.

Nice work, I love the build!

You upgraded the suspension, and replaced the best thing about the Zo6, the engine. A regular vette is almost the same car minus a couple of minor things once the power is made much higher, but you can start with a car half the price. It's a great build, and yes the zo6 looks badass, but all of that's not a big deal to do to a regular base model vette, so I wondered why you decided to modify the higher priced car and not keep the high revving light motor with its dry sump.

it's still a dry sump. i wanted lighter car (aluminum frame) and i'll need as much of a tire in the back as possible to put all that power to the ground

This.

I destroyed a rear diff in a regular C6 that only had an intake and exhaust.. Luckily it was just one of our used cars that I was looking into buying and I did not put the pen on the paper yet. That would have sucked.
