The last four weeks with the narrow body 2006 Corvette C6 have been busy, and this Forum Build Thread update covers every bit of that work. Some maintenance has been done, some seat testing, then the first on track test to get the Baseline Stock best lap on the MSR 1.7 CCW course.
The first laps in stock form were “not fast” but the car still had potential, so we immediately ordered three sets of wheels, better tires, and real track pads. We cover what was purchased and why in the latest Forum Build Thread update.
We then took the C6 back to MSR for a second track test, and with wider Hankook RS-4 tires and better brake pads, lap times dropped 2.5 seconds – getting closer to a stock C6 Z06 lap time. We also tested a new dual 1080P vidcam, logged CAN data, and created in-car video for both track tests. All of this and a LOT more is shown in the latest Forum post. Stay tuned for more next time when MCS coilovers are installed, along with new seats, new tow hooks, and more!
