According to evo, 6th Gear is good for 315mph! :lol: :D :P
Awesome idea for topics Nth!!!

The R&T article Sentra dude is talking about, I have it. I'll scan it in and post it tomorrow. |

I was looking for LS7 power curve from internet but could not find it. Maybe I was looking it wrong way. But can anyone post it here please. I'm sure someone have seen it.

this one is quite good |

Wet weight of Z06
I scan this out of EVO. They weighed the Z06 with all fluids and a full tank of fuel and got 1443kg. They also calculated the power to weight ratio according to the measured weight.

Some more 0-60mph performance times -
Motor Trend - 3.5 seconds "We bolted our own test equipment to a car at GM's Milford Proving Ground and found it had grunt enough to hurl this 3147-pound coupe to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds" http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...z06/index.html Car and Driver - 3.6 seconds (October 2005) "A few days after our trip, we took a Z06 to GM's Milford proving ground and tested it. It ripped to 60 mph in only 3.6 seconds, hit 100 in 7.9, and 150 in 17.5." http://www.caranddriver.com/roadtest...z06-page2.html Car and Driver - 3.4 seconds (December 2005) "We're still buzzing over the Z06's ferocious 3.4-second burst to 60 mph. That's two-tenths quicker than the Z06 we tested in October." http://www.caranddriver.com/comparis...vette-z06.html *The Car and Driver bit from October also has 0-100mph and 0-150mph times |
There will be a complete french test of the Z06 in 10 days by a very serious belgium-french magazine, can't wait for the results :wink:

From C&D Sept 2006

Sport Auto: Corvette Z06 vs Viper SRT-10
The Chevrolet is clearly faster than the Dodge:

I've already seen the test, if you or anyone else would like the full article i'll happily post it. :D
Anyways, the Z06 is a rocket and it's Hockenheim time is amazing. Cars in that 1:11 -- sector include: 996 GT3RS: 1:11.8 Zonda S: 1:11.8 997 GT3: 1:11.7 996 GT2 MK2: 1:11.6 It's extremely close to the Pagani Zonda F too: 1:10.8 |

Quote: "The Corvette Z06 is both, a cruiser and a racer" "nearly perfect, powerful engine, the chassis and supsension stand the charges of a challenging track like the Nurburgring easily, exact gear shifts and an easy clutch, slight oversteeer leads to best lap time" "even thogh the clutch feelsa abit weak it stands the power of the 8-cylinder engine" |
Very nice performance, even if the test car didn't reach the acceleration numbers of previous tests. Probably the best value for money these days!
|
The Audi R8 is only 1 second slower at Hockenheim and the Gallardo Superleggera beats it with ease. Good numbers anyway.

1 full second is big.
Not surprised, and it's about time America regains the respect that has been due for quite a while ;) Thanks Just Me |
Thanks, nice article.
Do you possible have access to the rest of the article :oops: |
Thanks mate :D I love this beast :P

Also, i'm wondering where the lap times of the Gallardo Superlagerra are since gangajas is mentioning it... |
