I have no problem with the Z06. I was looking at them when I was getting my GTR. Just never got a chance to test drive one. I'd get one in a heartbeat. and will be looking at the C7 when it comes out. I'm just calling a spade a spade, and not looking to get into a huge debate about it.
But Motortrend did call them out on it:
"So why sixth place? You know anything about tires? Chevrolet decided to offer slicks as an option for the 2012 model year, and our Corvette came so equipped. In the Corvette's defense, the Porsche GT3 RS also came packing basically the same sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cups. However, they're different spec, and the autobahnstuermer's tires had tread all the way around. Not the 'Vette's meats. A quarter of the enormously wide 345s had no tread at all. The refrain then became, "Sure, the 'Vette's fast. But put those tires on the LFA, and let's see what's what."
