Thats how you get a great 0-60mph (0-100kmh) time, eliminate the shift to 2nd gear

The way you achieve it is to simple add 400rpm... the C6 Z06 revs to 7000rpm, vs the C5 Z06 6600rpm.

The other advantage of bumping the rpm limit to 7000rpm, is you get to keep the fuel efficient rear end & gear ratios that allow 0-60 in under 4s, 0-400m in under 12s and achieve 200mph in 5th gear....

...which leaves 6th gear as an overdrive to let you cruise at 25mpg+ efficiency - and i know millionaires don't care about fuel efficiency, but it also helps when you make a cross country trip for fun - you don't have to drive from gas station to gas station

You guys might want to change your user names so the "Hate Corvette Crowd" don't stalk you

I will like it anyway Even one of my favorite modern Supercar. It's true that interior seems a bit plasticky (but I never see one in flesh) but the price let more than enough to improve it and the special edition with black/red leather seems to be better than grey interior.

You know why that is right?

It's because when you first take a Porsche or Audi driver out for a ride and they experience 0-100 in 4s for the first time, they can more easily clean up where they piss all over themselves.... then you show them a 100-0 in 30m and the "plasticky" dash is more easily cleaned as they throw up on themselves...

Finally you demonstarte 1g+ slalom handling and the "plsaticky" interior is again easy to clean after they shit themselves

why is it that you always take a little criticism as a personal offence... it's not like that car is your penis or sumthin like that ...

Code:
 Nth~ I know what's going on, and I'm killing it each time I see it pop up

Its a forum Silentm, get use to it..

And BTW there's nothing wrong with the Vette's interior, the quality isn't superb but if you care about that you'd probably buy an Audi anyway so why always attack it on that point :roll:

it's not criticism coming from him - it is a personal shot - ne knows it as well, or he wouldn't be making it the way and with the timing he does.

Code:
 Take it to spammers corner or somewhere else, This is about amazing performance of the Z06, not some audi, or porsche social culture

Nice video! And people can say whatever they want, but you can't deny that the Z06 is a great car!
