Two things I hope come from this. First is a GT4 class program based around the C8 Z06. Secondly interest from more than just American customer teams. I would love to watch some C8GT3 running in european and asian sports car racing series. Imagine a customer team running one of these in the N24 or 24h Spa!!

The GT3R does sound quite a bit better than the C8R, though sadly both sound a bit neutered compared to the road going Z06. Funnily enough, when the C8R was revved when it was first introduced at the space center with the regular C8, I remember it having that old school f1 v8 sound, like it was a different kind of American thunder, kinda sad that optimization around the regulations (restrictors and bop) killed that sound. On the plus side, it definitely looks better than the C8R. Hoping that it's just as successful as its predecessors and that many more will be in different GT3 series around the world.

I guess if you want to know what is the difference between a street Z06 and a Z06 GT3, you have to read and interpret the FIA GT3 Regs. Sounds like the body difference is significant. Would be interesting to know about the engine and transmission. 5.5 litres for sure is different, what else??

As an Aussie I hope someone brings a Z06 GT3.R to the Bathurst 12 Hour sometime. A lot of Aussie fans would love to see the Corvette's racing on our Mountain. We've had plenty of Camaro's and Mustang's there over the past 60 years, but Corvette's have been few and far between unfortunately.
