Hi guys,

I just read this article on the C6 and I thought you might enjoy it.

sounds good.

Can you confirm the fornt/rear weight balance is 51/49 ?
I'm surprised they didn't move it slightly backwards with the lighter engine, anyone know why ?? Maybe the longer wheelbase ???

the c6 has a shorter wheelbase then the c5, by 5 inches. but I have no idea on the weight balance

From the article
"On both the road and at VIR the C6's ride was noticeably softer, more relaxing than a C5 Z06, thanks to the longer wheelbase, stiffer structure, longer suspension travel and new tires."
:even more:

huh?

from car and driver

"But there's . . . something different here. It looks more purposeful, more potent, and more compact. It's not entirely a trick of styling. The Corvette has shrunk by five inches in length and by an inch in width, measured at its still-ample hips. All that length was taken out of the overhangs: two inches from the front and, mercifully, three off the chunky rump."

So now im all confused

Both might be correct.

one is wheelbase and that article mentions length

Wheelbase affects handling
