Nice :) - so thats what 505hp can do... I need to find out definitively what 480hp can do ;)

you're right, that was cool :D (you forgot the "it's not european so it sucks" part)

The euros can kiss my arse on this one bud.. ;)

That was way cool.. and doesn't even come sloe to sucking even in their closed minds.... :)

I could tell you, but I wouldn't want to ruin it for you. :wink:

you underestimate them :wink:

480 Tiptronic can do 3.2 0-60 on icey conditions.

Thanks to sdy284 from rennteam for scan.

Holy fuck, that's mclaren F1 like fast :shock: :shock: :shock:

impressive, no doubt thats fast car

Quick car, but damn 5th is seriously long! I bet that slows it considerably in the 4th to 5th change region, needs a 6 speed.

And exactly WTF has that got to do with anything other than PROVE the C6 Z is a serious threat to everyone.. as your precious little article even named the Corvette as a direct competitor.

Case closed.

All you really did was prove that the 9977TT, the F430 and the C6 Z06 are so close it will come down to driver everytime.

Oh - and I will give you a couple hours chance to repost your nazi propaganda article in the porsche forum before I delete it.. this thread is about the C6 Z 0-190mph on camera run - not some "supposedly" fast porker .. afterall, the tester even admits the time is a little suspicious and will wait for another test to confirm.

Oh - and 60-0 in 116ft is 6ft longer than a 2001 C5 Z06 needed... seems porsche still can't build a better stooping car after 5 years .. :P ;)

And that's what makes this car able to do the things it does, without a gas guzzler tax and returns fantastic gas mileage when being used as a comute vehicle.

Remember, the design criteria for this car going in are "the most extreme performance in the most affordable package in the world - period".

And they delivered exactly that.

Supercar abilities in an affordable, reliable, robust, daily driver package ;)

What a testy temper. I was just stating the latest facts about the 480 hp you were wondering about. Never said the Z06 was bad. By they way I am not a German nor a Nazi so please refrain from calling or trying to relate such titles to me. I support the same flag you do.

Yes all these cars are marvelous in their numbers and that they fit the markets they are aimed for so why is it that everyone gets all worked up over it? :roll:

the C6 Z06 is fast, on a straight line it may come down to the driver when racing an F430, but on a track with bends, come on, dont be unrealistic. It cant beat the F430 there.

Z06 is a great car, it can beat M3's, thats for sure. GT40 and Z06 are the only two american cars I'd consider having. But it cant be compared to an F430.

But they could have made it quicker and still return the same MPG by sticking a 6 speed in it :wink:

they could've broadened out 2-4th as well ;)

Well I wouldnt doubt the C6 chassis but common knowledge would tell me that the F430 can definetly corner faster.

Hyperbole - look it up :)

Oh - and the nazi propaganda comment was directed at the German car - we are all well aware of your foreign station - I am thinking it is your panties that need unbunching.

BTW - if I was asking ofr a foreign HP comparison I might have asked for go-kart contributions.

The 480bhp comment was in refernce to my 480bhp ;)

You are the one that brought your "market fitting" quote over here - not vice versa :)

I keep forgetting comments need 86 smilies per thread to not get people all cranky and shit.
:P :D :) :( :D :P :) :( :D :twisted: :wink: :cry: :lol: :D :? 8) :)

Hopefully these are enough to diffuse al the egos that come swagering in to every single C6 Z06 thread.. ;)

^^ and you doubted my predictions :P :lol:

I just read that 997 Turbo article. (the same magazine as the C6 Z06 video is from)

What a crock of shit.. ;)

The temp during the Porker run was 32F - that's 0c... in other words the engine was producing WAAAAAAY more than 480bhp in those temps... and it was on a the grooved surface of a concrete runway...

So... let's see the REAL numbers when a proper 997TT test is done. I don't think the car will be posting 060 in 3.2s either.

:P

Better yet, lets test the Z06 in the same conditions :wink:

anyone just hear a bubble burst?

the 0-120 was impressive 8)

Sheesh you people need to calm down! Can't we all just get along? :lol: :P

Neat vid btw, that's a fast car. :D

A comparison of another fast car:

Exactly what is the point of posting this in here?

A reminder of where you are and what the rules are:

Seems every now and again folks need a reminder :)

^ and it's good we have you as the official JW cop :P :wink:

^^ ;) -- they can bash and trash the American cars outside this forum all they want - and if we can, we will defend them - but in here, we should be able to discuss them without fear of thread hijacking and clogging with hate mail :P

Hey, I'm not bashing the Z06 (or any American car just because it's American, for that matter: must have me confused with someone else), just posting a video of another very fast car accelerating, like the Z06 in this thread, from 0 to about 190MPH. I, for one, find it "interesting" to compare how different cars accelerate faster at certain parts of the speed cycle than other cars do, and not everyone can just look at a video of a speedo and gauge how that compares to something else doing the same, so I thought that a video of something else may be of interest.

At no point did I bash the Z06 (or mention the 997 like others have in this thread), nor did I even mention the model or brand of the car in the video that I posted. If you don't want me to post a video/contribute to this thread then I won't: it's really no bother at all either way.

:lol: I agree with you 100% but I still think you'll keep getting hate mail :P either way, your doing a fine work officer :wink: a medal is just a matter of time :lol: :wink:

This is true.

And the explanation makes sense. ;)

Vette rule! :P



So do I like get banned?.........or something.........? :P

WHy would you get banned for saying they rule? :P

Just wait till you hit the Ferrari forum :P

I got dem editing skills too :P

Unless I am missing something here....


IT HAS A BLOODY 6 SPEED IN IT!

;)

What joo talkin about Willis? ;) :P hehe

Just click on either "Quicktime High" or "Windows High" to start streaming the video. Hope that helps.

It does seem very slow, but once you've clicked on either of the two media players it takes a while, but it will play an advert, and then play the file. From when I clicked to when video came up was about 35 seconds.

You're welcome.


How did you find the actual footage? Interesting/worth the wait?

upon re-viewing this, it says 190 in 5th gear? it doesnt have 6th gear? WTF? I sure hope it does cuz such an expensive car with 5 gears doesnt look that good.

some people really dont know much about the Vette, or the Ford GT for that matter...

6th gear is there to get good fuel economy under cruising conditions.

6th is essentially a dubble o/d; and 5th is there for your top speed runs. simple as that... and while 5th could be shorter in relation to 3rd/4th. that is exactly how the Vette manages 28 mpg highway.

if cirtain lower gears were shorter, then the massive storm of torque isn't managable.

Yep - another example of a supposedly educated person being ignorant.

Simply doing a Google search on "C6 Z06 specs" would have returned all the informaiton a reasnoable informed person needed to not show their obvious bias and ignorance.

Quite tiring.

Being that I dont care about the Corvette, I dont go deep-reading on it. I just know enough. In the same way I can list a shietload of info for another car wich isnt of your interest and then call you stupid for not knowing them. If I were ignorant, I would have gotten a C6 or C5 corvette instead of the G35 that I have. The only person around here that should "quit trying" is you and your idea that the Corvette is the best thing "ever evar fo realz."

Ah, and another thing about you calling Ferrari buyer's "posers"... at least 85% of the corvette drivers I see are old grampas. I rather see a "poser" on his ferrari, often speeding then a fukin Corvette with an OLD ASS driver that all he does is slow me down.

Florida: where old people migrate to die :wink:

You don't know enough - you prove this everytime you open your mouth

These are your words not mine.

Typical arsehole response from you.

To be expected and not surprising.

I am done with this shit.

I JUST made it into this thread today, skipping to the last page..

and here I find RC45 retiring?!?!

c'mon ya old fart, you letting your age get to you?

Retiring? from work or what?

To Florida of course, silly goose.

Well i stand corrected, but i was implying more the considerable jump in ratios between 4th and 5th, but if a very tall 6th is required to get around regulations then i understand why its there, just it would undoubtably make the car faster if it used all 6 ratio's to get to its top speed. :)
