GT2 racing is taking over GT1 racing in the American Le Mans Series. For this event, Corvette has made a new version of the C6.R, a racing version of the C6. Including an Xtract sequential 6-speed gearbox, C6.R features a 5.5. liter supercharged V8 LS9. The old version had a 7 liter LS7.R. That's not it, the newer C6.R has 105 horsepower less than the old version. Body-wise, the car is 2.5. inches shorter and narrower. There is also a 20-mm reduction in the size of the air restricter. Corvette Racing's program manager Doug Feham says that the new C6.R make a GT2 lap 4 to 5 seconds slower than the old version, but that won't stop Corvette from winning races!
