Sport Auto tests the Z06
 

It's a fast car, without any doubt:

0-100 4,0
0-160 8,0
0-200 12.0

Hockenheim lap: 1.11,5
In comparison:
Corvette c6: 1.14.8
F430 F1: 1.12,7
Gallardo: 1.11,8
Murcielago: 1.12,0
P. Zonda S: 1.11,8
996 tt: 1.14,6
911 gt3: 1.13,2
911 gt2: 1.12,6
911gt3rs 1.11,8 (racetires)
PCGT: 1.08,6
Ford gt 1.14,1

Well, well, well.... so much for all the nay sayers -- hey? ;) :P

I will refrain posting "I told you so"....

And simply offer up a :fist: :P

Very impressive figures indeed. NS?

very impressove figures.

Now all the Vette has to get is a half decent interior and then if I'd have the funds, I'd defenetley buy it.

Ok seriously, it's a ridicolously fast machine and my hat goes off the the makers of the Z06.

I'm surprised at some of the times written in the first post. I know they're real, but I would never think a Gallardo would be faster than the F430 on track....well...4wd :wink:

or that the 996 turbo is that much slower than the gallardo....or the Ford GT time...man I thought the differences would be smaller, not to mention the zonda time, helooooooo, way slower than I expected

one more thing.... :oops: a GT3 RS with race tires, helooo is "just" as fast as the gallardo, yes I know HP difference and a couple more things, but still...the circumstances had to be VERY different for these times to make sense....

Ok, I'm OT here, so I guess what I wanted to say that I'm very impressed with the Z06, but I had a feeling the time would be fast.....


Thx for the data you have provided

Impressive machine :love: Having seen one I can say it has presence !! BTW, no Nurburgring time ??

Too bad its still a Corvette.

hey it even rhimes :lol:

it's just amazing :shock:
I like this Corvette very much, since the day I saw the first photos.

the Ford GT's lap time there reflects poor gearing for track use; they stayed in 3rd gear the whole lap...

as for Z Z06....! :drool:

i love this car, and it would do nicely as a stable mate to my Jeep, and future FGT :lol:

How long did you have this post ready? ;)

Very nice to see it do so well on a proper benchmark test..

Given its company, it's an amazing car. What's the closest price competitor? GT3 at about $30k more...thats some serious underdog coming and raining on the parade. Does anyone know where the Japanese hi-po cars fall, timewise? Like the Skyline GTR?

That CGT doesn't F around does it? :shock:

Yeah.. the CGT is the real thing.. with the Z06 nipping right at is toes.

I still have yet to see a C6 Z06 on the road!

that really suprises me; i must have seen near 15 different ones now. i'm sure it'll happen soon; partiuclarly if there are quite a few C5 Z06's about.
