I doubt the Z06 is going to be sold in Europe, the last one wasn't. I think they should though, in limited numbers. So, I doubt Top gear will ever test it. Clarkson wouldn't give it a fair chance anyway. Especially if it turns out to be faster than his Ford GT. Afterall, according to Top Gear, an NSX outdrags a base C6. :roll:

Holy hell! that thing is insane and it will be alot cheaper to get to the 1000hp mark now that it already has the 7.0L installed.

hmmmmm :roll:

JiggaStyles09 · 12-09-2004, 10:25 PM

all the badass numbers and the one that makes me the most happy is the estimated 2900 lbs

:shock:

damn this thing is going to fly, im sure it will be everything and more of what was expected.

i really dont think so, i mean, what does the F430 have that the vette doesnt? the vette has more hp a lot more torque and about 100,000 cheaper. plus the big factor to me is the weight, that will help out a lot in every department, especially handling. and since the current 405 hp z06 is already a solid handler there is not much doubt in my mind that this car will handle just as good and probably better.

Ferrari must have done something right, the General's corvette is lookin like something out of modena, It. and im not just talkin about the head lights

SilviaEvo · 12-09-2004, 11:04 PM

It looks like a pretty nice car. I hope they get rid of that Chevy Malibu steering wheel that I think the standard edition has. Am I right about that?

sentra_dude · 12-10-2004, 02:19 AM

Looks to be a very good chance this Z06 will be noticeably quicker than the 430, just like the C5 Z06 and the 360 Modena.

Remember that with just 405hp and 400hp C5 Z06 owners were pulling sub 4sec 0-60mph and flat 12 sec 1/4mi times...and this has another 100hp and apparently less weight. I can't wait to see what kind of times this C6 Z06 runs in the hands of skilled owners.

Any guesses as to the time it will run on Nordschleife...?

Looks good, but does anyone think those wheels look like chrome version of the Enzo's?

Your right it has the Malibu Maxx steering wheel.

And Sentra_dude don't forget the older 385 Z06's either. not just the 405hp ones.

Pity the vette has had the same wheel since before the malibu max even hit the drawing board.

So that's not in fact true.

Also dont forget that 500hp is 425 rwhp - and I know of at least 25 such Z06's in Houston alone - the F360 is a piss easy car to dominate performance wise - and the F430 is just as easy.

The car has awesome numbers - pretty much what a current heads/cam Z06 delivers - but the overall look is semi-aggressive but still a little tame.

But make no mistake - it will be kicking ass everywhere.

The C6 Z06 car with a 150 wet-shot for good measure will blow everything off the road - Enzo, Macca F1, CGT etc...
