"Taking its recent Carbon lightweight package further, Chevrolet has created a track version of the Z06 that incorporates some new tweaks and eliminates many of the creature comforts found on road-going versions.   The 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06X Track Car Concept starts with the Z07 performance package and adds Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, a low-restriction intake kit for the 7.0-liter V-8, a larger radiator and accessory cooler; and carbon-fiber for the hood, side skirts, front splitter and adjustable rear wing.   To make the car as light as possible, the carpet and radio have been stripped out and a rollcage, sport seat, 5-point harness, lightweight polycarbonate rear window and fire suppression kit are all part of the package designed to make this a track car of the highest order.   The suspension has also been tweaked to include coil-over struts with adjustable camber plates, mono-ball control arm bushings, adjustable anti-roll bars, Michelin racing tires and special lightweight alloy wheels, 19-in. diameter up front and 20-in. rear. The concept is painted in a low-gloss Icy White Metallic exterior that&amp;#039;s offset nicely by the black wheels. In addition to the racing seat and rollcage, the car is equipped with a window net, drink system and in-car camera along with special racing pedals.   According to Dave Ross, design manager for the project, the 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06X Track Car Concept is &amp;quot;a classic case of form following function. The exterior color and accents were carefully selected to enhance the Corvette&amp;#039;s racing-influenced design, but there&amp;#039;s nothing superfluous in the Z06X&amp;#039;s design\u2014everything is there for a reason.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
