Well, in advertising and bragging in general, "faster round the ring" sounds better than "coulda, woulda, shoulda been faster round the ring."

But yea, most current Vette folks will still love the vette regardless. It'd be nice to have the bragging rights so they could bring in more fans though.

GM sells every one they build; and if they(non fans) need crap marketing to make them a "fan", we don't need em on our team, thanks...

And I look forward to any modded V-Spec Dudzilla to try come line-up

^It's really a m00t point really. The Z06 owners will not love their cars any less because it's a few seconds behind at the ring. For what's worth, they should be proud given the minimal electronic help, RWD, less grippy tires, just good old push rod NA setup and leaf springs suspension, the Z still comes just few seconds behind.
Exactly the Z06 is a car for real drivers,not a PS3.

No, they simply mistook it for the time Chuck Norris has set in his Dodge Ram long time ago.

The Ford GT has no optoins for such electronic aids, looks better, costs cough cough.... more, goes faster even under extreme tuning ( Car and Driver 0-200-0 shootout ) ... about the same NS lap time as a Z06, better/safer/stronger chassis, better aerodynamics.

thats my choice

but thats not what this topic is about... is it? whoops

yea ZR1 !!!11!11!1!!

Corvette Z06 is NO1 car in the world price/hp ratio, no matter what the gt-r does. It has the charisma of a real race car and the technology and brute force. Best of both worlds, and every good car journalist all over the world has to admit that the Vette is a true supercar. Top gear, fifth gear, dsf motorvision GER, EVO magazine (European) all were delighted by the Z06. Who cares about consumption and interior decorations???? I just look at the Hp/Nm figures, and performance, sound and the feeling of raw NA power! For me the Z06 is one of the best cars of all time! 10y GM I dont care about the ring, 300+ on the autobahn, drag from one traffic light to another, display of power on the streets, burning tires on launch... Dont think that GT-R can give you all that. Z06 = BestBuy
