C6 Z06 - 0-190mph..

Originally Posted by TeflonTron Hey, I'm not bashing the Z06 (or any American car just because it's American, for that matter: must have me confused with someone else), just posting a video of another very fast car accelerating, like the Z06 in this thread, from 0 to about 190MPH. I, for one, find it "interesting" to compare how different cars accelerate faster at certain parts of the speed cycle than other cars do, and not everyone can just look at a video of a speedo and gauge how that compares to something else doing the same, so I thought that a video of something else may be of interest. At no point did I bash the Z06 (or mention the 997 like others have in this thread), nor did I even mention the model or brand of the car in the video that I posted. If you don't want me to post a video/contribute to this thread then I won't: it's really no bother at all either way.

This is true.

And the explanation makes sense.

And that's what makes this car able to do the things it does, without a gas guzzler tax and returns fantastic gas mileage when being used as a comute vehicle. Remember, the design criteria for this car going in are "the most extreme performance in the most affordable package in the world - period". And they delivered exactly that. Supercar abilities in an affordable, reliable, robust, daily driver package But they could have made it quicker and still return the same MPG by sticking a 6 speed in it

Unless I am missing something here....


IT HAS A BLOODY 6 SPEED IN IT!

Just click on either "Quicktime High" or "Windows High" to start streaming the video. Hope that helps.

[TeflonTron]

It does seem very slow, but once you've clicked on either of the two media players it takes a while, but it will play an advert, and then play the file. From when I clicked to when video came up was about 35 seconds.

You're welcome.


How did you find the actual footage? Interesting/worth the wait?

upon re-viewing this, it says 190 in 5th gear? it doesnt have 6th gear? WTF? I sure hope it does cuz such an expensive car with 5 gears doesnt look that good.

some people really dont know much about the Vette, or the Ford GT for that matter...

6th gear is there to get good fuel economy under cruising conditions.

6th is essentially a dubble o/d; and 5th is there for your top speed runs. simple as that... and while 5th could be shorter in relation to 3rd/4th. that is exactly how the Vette manages 28 mpg highway.

if cirtain lower gears were shorter, then the massive storm of torque isn't managable.

Yep - another example of a supposedly educated person being ignorant.

Simply doing a Google search on "C6 Z06 specs" would have returned all the informaiton a reasnoable informed person needed to not show their obvious bias and ignorance.

Quite tiring.

Being that I dont care about the Corvette, I dont go deep-reading on it. I just know enough. In the same way I can list a shietload of info for another car wich isnt of your interest and then call you stupid for not knowing them. If I were ignorant, I would have gotten a C6 or C5 corvette instead of the G35 that I have. The only person around here that should "quit trying" is you and your idea that the Corvette is the best thing "ever evar fo realz."

Ah, and another thing about you calling Ferrari buyer's "posers"... at least 85% of the corvette drivers I see are old grampas. I rather see a "poser" on his ferrari, often speeding then a fukin Corvette with an OLD ASS driver that all he does is slow me down.

You don't know enough - you prove this everytime you open your mouth
