except it can out run a Z51.... just not in the braking department, but ~fairly close~ in the handling department.

The numbers I've seen show them as pretty much neck and neck in every catagory, with the C6 usually getting the edge. Car and Driver also ran a test of both cars back to back, so they would've been in the same conditions and thus fairly accurate as far as a direct comparison goes, and the C6 only lost to the GT500 in the 50-70mph pull (by 3-tenths), the other 8 performance catagories were won by the C6.

Here you are, its pretty freakin awesome, enjoy! 8)


It may be somewhere on JW hosted to download, but I'm not sure, its definitely worth having on your computer if you can find it!

edit:
LOL, I just noticed at the bottom of the vid it says "Clearly a professional driver on a closed track."

Absolutely believeable. Notice the wet ground...of course you're going to drive your CGT slow. It's a handful when the pavement is dry. I think it actually gives face to Porsche and knows that the GT500 really isn't in the same class. He didn't say he couldn't find a car he liked in Germany, just that he couldn't stand to be in the US with the GT500 and the speed limits. Of course, who the F can afford the CGT anyways (except MagWheel)

Nice sounds, brutish looking car. I like it!

actually, the GT500 feels quite a bit faster, and I would offer will match a C5 Z06 in the 1/4 mile within .1 of a second....

every magazine article to date that I've read doesn't actually hold the truth about the cars capablities... It without a doubt is at least 1 second faster then the 03/04 Cobras, which puts it right smack dab against the C5 Z06, and possibly faster then the C6 coupe.

the magazines so far have been garbage at the test numbers for 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile.
