I'm with gis on this one. Very nice dials indeed. Don't forget to have a well-placed microphone (like you usually do), so we can also hear the beast.

LOL! You guys should see our petrol prices! I did some calculations based on the prices of the Dutch market leader Shell.
95 Unleaded
1 US gallon: US$ 6.05
1 UK gallon: GBP 3.81
98 Super plus
1 US gallon: US$ 6.30
1 UK gallon: GBP 3.97
Yes, we are being ripped off by our government... :twisted:

See - that was all wheel-spin and throttle pedaling.. ;) No need to slip the clutch - I transfer the wear from the clutch to the tyres... :lol:
Lemme see.. 42,000 miles... and 3, 4, 5, 6 - yep 7th set of rear tyres there mate... ;)

LOL, thats quite a bit of rubber smoke in our atmosphere then, thanks to you!! There is still a bit of clutch slip flat shifting from 2nd to 3rd is there not? :wink:

Nope - I "granny shift" - with a double clutch when I up shift.. ;) I just do it really fast... :D - afterall - power can't get to the rear wheels if it doesn't get by the clutch first.. LOL
BTW - active handling actually applies brake force at what ever corner wheel is opposite the "undesired yaw point" and that's what screwed me dash to 60 up so bad... ;) - you can actually see the speed stop climbing momentarily as the car fights the brakes.. :P
..and I get my tyres "on the cheap" - since many Z06 owners ditch the stock wheels and tyres, spend $5,000 on the new wheel and tyre combo - and end up having to sell their brand new wheels and tyres to help offset the cost.
So - instead of paying $350 for each rear tyre - I will pickup a set of 4 for about $400 incl shipping.. ;)
HOLY CRAP RC,lol that shows how much i know fuck all about vette's i knew they were quick,but man i didnt know that quick.lol that shocked me really it did

;) - there are a number of 996TT and F360 owners that thought the same thing... ;)
i can see why they were surprised.so what is the supposed 0-60 of the Z06? i once heard 4 seconds flat but also heard 4.8 and 5.2

With a lot of effort - 4 flat (the 2002 and newer can run 3.9) - everyday wheelspin and slick streets, around 5... but once you get through 2nd, it doesn't much matter - you make up the lost second, and then some... ;)
indeed.this car has sure made an impression to me,as i said i knew they were good but this "bang for your buck" comment never really made sense to me.........untill now,lol

...and don't forget - we can pull 1G or more in a bend, and stop quicker than most... ;)
I would say I am pretty satisfied with my "plastic" Chevy... :lol:....
lol.wish i could see more of them here in the UK,only ever saw 1 and it was in a car park,a Z06 like yours but red and i just saw it for like 5 seconds when i was passing on a hgih speed road so i couldnt just stop.
anyway,more vids like that one RC,they are great to watch and also liek the other u posted of racing.
Oh - and this is the same gas station as in the beginning of this thread... about 30 minutes ago...
2 days later -- :shock: :shock: -- and look at the gas price... ;)
