As the co-owner of Pratt and Miller, builders of Corvette Racing's C6.Rs, Jim Miller probably gets a lot of perks with his job. While free tickets to all the ALMS races and LeMans would be sweet, we think receiving the first production Corvette C6RS roadster is just about the coolest fringe benefit ever!
The Corvette C6RS burst on the scene last fall at SEMA with a conversion of Jay Leno's personal Corvette Z06 into the mean green E85 C6RS. Shortly thereafter, Pratt and Miller announced a limited run beginning in April 2008 with an expected peak at 25 units. The Corvette C6RS isn't for those with weak constitutions. Powered by a Katech 8.2 liter 500 ci V8 that produces 600 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft of torque, the C6RS employs many of the components and characteristics used by Pratt and Miller on Corvette Racing's C6.R GT1 racecars.
