The Corvette is extremely powerfull if you set it up just right, I beaten the hell out of alot of Audis and BMWs with the Corvette.
It is all about how you tune the performance settings.
The Corvette is blistering fast but you have to stay focussed cause if you make a little mistake you'll loose the car and if you do your gone.

Guys I race with on Doverstreet can set insane laptimes with the Corvette, In the hands of a good driver they are unbeateble on some tracks.
Same goes for speedtraps.

The Viper is also blistering fast but handles like a boat so you can't set very good laptimes with it.

The best car for any race is the car you feel comfortable to drive with, just because a car goes faster then another doesn't mean that you are going to make a better lap time with it if you don't like the handling of the car.

Other than shifting the tires to grip, how else do you tune your Z06? Max torque while keeping transmission in the middle? Where do you have the brakes?

Out of the tuners, I personally prefer the skyline over the evo because of the handling and also because of the lack of tubro lag, which I tend to get if I slow down too much in the evo. Among the muscles, while the Z06 is indeed good, the challenger is more fun to drive in career... less control, but more fun. In quick races, I always use the new camaro. That is my favorite car out of career. Just wish it was available in career for all those pursuits.

My setup (on the Xbox360) is full horsepower (you already got plenty of Torque) full topspeed. and the turbo to full high rpm and all other are set at normal, I'm not sure wich tire setup is best cause with full grip the corvette sometimes becomes to "sticky" and is harder to control still have to find a good setup for that.
I never touch the brake settings cause I hardly ever use the brakes, I almost always shift back to slow down.

If circuit with lots of curves: EVO, notice that max tuned EVO has better acceleration than Skyline, and it is really a little faster.

Circuit with straight: vette?

I am also fan of Corvetter Z06, could you please suggest me some tuning help to make it perfect.

for the corvette i would have like what Stig said have the horsepower to max leave the transmission in the middle, leave the tire setting in the middle, and as for the suspension which i think is the tirckiest to tune i have it set all the way to understeer ( better suggestion ?)
now my question is what do you guys think is the best suspension setup for the Ford GT :?:

The corvette is the best if you put the last thing on Oversteer cuz it understeers sometimes.
Ford GT? Well a little oversteer cuz it understeers in the thightest corners.

Tune it to a little understeer but not much as it will go into walls the minute you try to steer.
