Default Re: New C7 Encounter

Oh, that Z06 is just nuts. Actually, if you watch the episode that Jay Leno did on Jay's Garage, you'll notice there are many parallels between the new Z06 and our ZR-1's. Low center of gravity. Engine required to fit under the hood without protrusion. Increased body width (by identical ratio to our car). Listen to a bit about the development and you'll be quickly reminded of the KOTH project that birthed our cars.
