C6 Z06 Magazine Test Data in....
Magazine C6 Z06 test data:
Car & Driver:
11.7 sec @ 125 MPH 1/4 mile
0-60 in 3.6 sec.
0-100 in 7.9 sec.
0-150 in 17 sec.
Skidpad = 0.98g
Motor Trend:
11.5 sec. @ 127 MPH 1/4 mile
0-60 in 3.7 sec.
Skidpad = 1.02 g
Add to this a 7m42s Northloop time - and the GM test track 202mph top speed... you have a rather serious automobile.
Now folks may understand why those heads/cam C5 Z06's running around with 430rwhp (500hp)are rather untouchable

running around with 430rwhp (500hp)
|
i read somewhere that it actually makes 511bhp (505 hp). nitpicky stuff but an amazing car. supposedly the fastest GM production car ever.

Not the C5 Z06 even modded w/heads/cams the figures are variable. The 505hp/511bhp figure is for the C6 Z06.

? heads/cam LS6 will net 425rwhp as normal.. nothing special.
the 505/511 number is USA SAE HP / DIN PS.

With a bit of mod here and there, we are talking about *almost* Enzo performance!! :shock: ....I'll give myself 5 years to earn the 2nd hand money

Another doubter?
The manufacturers claim/rating is 198mph - to keep it below the 200mph psycological barrier... afterall, 200mph cars are dangerous..
The car has however pulled over 200.
Just as many 500hp+ modded C5's have - GPS verified.. 
Maybe now our cars will begin to be taken seriously...

You seriously think it could out hustle an Enzo around Nordshleife?
Great car, very fast, but its far from Enzo and CGT territory.

I'm sure if you had the money to make it equal to a C6R in terms of handling and performance it would spank the shit out of an Enzo and CGT on Nordschleife.
I'm wondering if they quote the top speed under 200 mph for insurance reasons aswell?

It will definitely lose the edge to Enzo in terms of Aerodynamic efficency and Suspension geometry......it afterall is a no compormise supercar.
But hey, z06 is down 150 hp from the Enzo.......so with some tuning, I will say it should get to 7:3x ...so not too far from the Enzo I say. (maybe I should put a almost ....so won't be as misleading

Impressive performance !! I can't wait to read the tests 
But, just a question, I thought that the 7:42 posted on the Nurb was made with the prototype of the Blue Devil with two Turbos driven by Jan Magnussen, isn't it the case ?

Nordschliefe time or not, i've never seen this kind of performance / price ratio before. and with proper racing pedigree too. it's too bad the interior's still cheap. but still...
*hahahha, the automatic version (yes, there is one) gets a paddle shift system.

i guess the car that all the car media took to be the superfast "blue devil" turned out to be the superfast Z06...its faster than i expected, but still wouldn't be my choice
BTW what's this thing's price in the US? and will it be available in europe?

Well it will be available in Holland for 114.950 euro.
Too much for a US made car, so not very interesting :sleeping:
