Has the EVO withe C6 Z06 article...
 

...been scanned and posted yet?

:)

LOL, not yet to my knowledge :wink: I think TT should receive it soon ...

Re: Has the EVO withe C6 Z06 article...
 

I've just read it. But I won't give away any spoilers, I'm interested in your reaction however.

I've got a scanner but the quality sucks compared to TT's scans and it's detached from the pc now.

I can try to scan it first thing in the morning (makes to much noice, I may wake the rest up).

EDIT: tried it anyway and I did wake my dad up. So I'm going to continue in the morning.

Not read it yet - its in a pile waiting to be read. :oops:

It will be very interesting to see how it fares againt the carss that they have selected it to compete with - they found it hard to pick a set of cars, but disregarded price to see if it could be the best.

Re: Has the EVO withe C6 Z06 article...
 

I've already seen the text content - and it is a semi-positive report that does it's best to bad mouth the car where possible - except in cases where they had to compliment it.

It pretty much says "Not bad - for an American car" ;)

But we have to accept that it will never be possible for a Euro-mag to ever come right out and say "this American car is awesome" - which they often do for Euro cars... ;)

But as always, the proof is on the street for people to witness :P

No offence but you're getting a bit predictable.

I must agree on the fact that the arguements aren't so clear. If you read the text you would think the GT3RS would only get like max 4 stars and the Noble a 5 star rating.

On the other hand, in general I quite thrust EVO's oppinion. I'm just waiting for other reports to confirm this.

Oh and they did praise one american car: The Ford GT, car of the year remember.

PS: no time to scan them now, got to go.

Predictable because I tell it like it is - not like you want to hear it? ;)

Re: Has the EVO withe C6 Z06 article...
 

good reply, I'll give you that :P

You know what I mean. If they say it's not perfect, they're wrong.

Re: Has the EVO withe C6 Z06 article...
 

Not at all - they don't even criticise the correct areas.. ;)

Re: Has the EVO withe C6 Z06 article...
 

of course the Z06 crap below 5000 revs :lol:

BTW... whats with your current costom title? :P

As I promised: here are the scans for the article, that's till TT gets the time to scan it properly.

IMO you can't compare to the autocar review.

Figured I would like to see what it looks like - since when yyou're banned from a site, you can't log in to see you banned title. hehe

missing three pages for me... but that nobel is sick.

I like the look of the Z06 engine. The red bits look quite pleasing to me. Dunno why, but I really like engines where red is blended in with black, and the dual red covers give it even more of a muscle look.

Do those covers come off easily? Are they hollow?

The red fuel rail covers are just a plastic shield protecting the fuel injector solenoids and associated hardware.

Simple to take off and replace.

I find this bit quite funny...

Why would you do that? The entire point of a free revving 6-speed manual transmission to start in the lowest gear and tear a whole in the space-time continuum as you rush towards your goal.

Only old geezers in frigging Mercedes Benz's are interested in how long it takes to go from stop to not stopped in top gear;)

I guess the uninitiated are obsessed with "letting big engines run at low rpms" and do not realize the modern V8 is an RPM hungry nutter - that is simply begging to be thrashed through the gears at red line.

This may explain the other testers saying it felt gutless below 5,000rpm.. um in 4th and 5th gear in probably did... I guarantee you I could have that tester peeing his pants if we did the same excercise from 1st :twisted: :twisted:

Re: Has the EVO withe C6 Z06 article...
 

Like when EVO voted the Ford GT drivers car of the year with the Mustang in 4th or 5th if I recall correctly?? :P

yeah the GT is one of the best all round supercars that have ever been made. It has style, power, smooth, and so much more all for just under 150K not many cars can do that. 8)

I thought it was actually a very positive review of the z06. The aloof nature of the car had been described by pretty much every american magazine that's tested it aswell. EVO actually seems to like the car alot and defintely respect it for what it is, but they're right in saying its doesnt quite fit with any of the cars they tested it against.
