Yellow Z-06 Spotted @ Le Mans

[bennno]

Who was it in the yellow z-06 with the pistonheads stickers all down the sides then?

We passed you in a 996 on the way there and were dissapointed you didnt make a bit more of an effort to keep up.

I think you'll find that will be "vetteheadracer"...
and i don't think he lives too far away from you....so you can have a replay....

[LuS1fer]

He's still running it in isn't he?

In Nigel's defence the new very expensive engine had only done around 50 miles on the dyno when he picked the car up. I warned him on pain of death not to bring it back broken!! Glad he was taking heed !
Believe me Mr Benno there ain’t no way a 993 will keep up with this particular ZO6 in the future!

[vetteheadracer]

See I told you I would be good Geoff !!

There will be plenty of time to eat Pork later.....

Cool.. but he has a 996...

Something tells me the extra 3 isn't going to make much difference :-)

Even if it was a 999 it ain't gonna keep up with me

[bennno]

chuck in a few bends and you wouldnt see which way a 996 went.

your corvette was chucking out quite a lot of black smoke btw....

we were having an arguement whether it was 2 girls or a girl and a bloke in the car on the way there.... we put this down to the driving and the hair

yeah the 996 probably would be a pretty small dot in the mirror by then and quite hard to see which field it ended up in...

Did you not watch any race at lemans the corvettes did very well I’m told, and last time I looked they didn’t go in a straight line for 24 hours.

Get a life Bennno and then perhaps try spending some of it awake

Well they put a couple of chicanes in the Mulsanne straight to try to give the rest of the field a chance to catch up but it didn't seem to work....

Having said that, there's a big Porsche fan club here in the Vette section....oh no, sorry, I was thinking of the Porsche section. LOL.

....this will be sorted at the weekend, it is due to the car running the wrong fuel mapping at the moment and running about 10% rich

Yea, just like the guy in the black 99???? turbo 4 did at Bruntingthorpe as Dan went round the OUTSIDE of him at the hairpin and dissapeared into the distance! His comment after the session was "what the f**k have you got in that thing, Corvettes arnt supposed to handle". He was even more p****d off when I told him the car cost adout the same as a service on his VW GT!

About time I posted some video of that I think

[blackzr]

Good idea, the tape Richard gave me won't run in my player!

[c4koh]

Not much to add lads, just enjoying this banter.

Pork is indeed one of my favourite meats!!

I suppose they need to believe their own mantras when you consider how much they pay - and keep having to pay!! - for theirs....

Shame Porsche dont race the GT2 it would have kicked some american ass.

Dont forget the 911 and Corvette run in different classes as the corvette requires greater modification to enable it to race ala GTS regs...

"Shame Porsche dont race the GT2 it would have kicked some american ass"

I used to think that too, until I drove a Z06. Now I'm not so sure :-)
