Hi guys,
Unlike what seems to be most of you guys here, I'm not really in a position to drive a real Vette. I do play some computer simulations and a friend has made a really hot looking C6 for this simulation called rFactor. Here are some pics, excuse the Imageshack popups that might occur..:

It looks hot, but the next step is to make it drive hot! The cool thing about rFactor is that it really goes far beyond your playstation. You can model multilink suspensions, play with the load sensitivity of the tyres, tweak the differential.. You really 'build' a car so to speak.
So for starters I would like to find out a few general parameters that I haven't found sofar of a 'stock' C6, or something close.. Things like:
- Wheelrates (i.e. springrate measured at each of the 4 wheels)
- Damping rates
- Rollbar rates
- has anyone measured how high the centre of gravity is in a C6?
Thinks like detailed suspension geometry would be great as well. The simulation can model things like slight grip variations with camber, even though tyre data is very very hard to find..
The more the merrier!
As it progresses I'll hopefully make some videos and youtube 'em so you can see just how cool and hopefully realistic this virtual C6 is gonna be...
Thanks!
