yea, i've seen a video that had a corvette with a Z51 badge. the thing could haul ass. i think i got it from this website as well.

Motor Trend did a issue that compared all the vettes, the Z06 smoked the Z51 though.

this one must have been modded out of its ass... in fact, it might have been a lingenfelter. for 90 grand i dont think you could get or make any car in the world that is faster than a lingenfelter vette. straight line AND track. i know you could probably use that NAWS shit in a TT supra and beat on in the quarter mile but don't get me started on that. i mean best all around car for 90 grand.

As it should have. The Z51 is primarily a handling package. I don't think it increases the power at all.

the new c6 with the Z51 performance package is supposed to be only slightly slower than a z06 on a track.

there are 3 different suspension packages AFAIK. one sorta cushy one, then MRC(magnetic ride control) and the z51. the z51 also comes with uprgraded steering and oil coolers i think.

I'm pretty sure the Z06 is faster than the new C6 since the Z06 has 5 more hp and the latest models incorporated Carbon fiber hoods and other various parts to reduce weight and the fact that some of the drivetrain parts on the Z06 are definitely better than any standard Corvette should have.

The c6 with all of its gadgets would definetly be heavier than a stripped down (relatively speaking) z06

One of those new gadgets is going to be a lateral G meter on the HUD. My old roomates dad owns a Chebby dealership and got the press packet today. Also the 6.0L LS2 isnt going to be based off the truck block too

"What are the power numbers for the 6.0L LS2 V8?

The LS2 generates 400 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque."

Cop1: "Sir, please step out of the car - keep your hands in plain sight!"

C6 driver: "But officer - just let me clear the data from my DIC (Vette speak for the Driver Information center) "

Cop2: "Hands where I can see them.. NOW!!!!"

Cop1: "Yeah - hands off your DIC!!"

Cop2: "Yep, here it is Earl - max G's 1.1 lateral, and 1.9 positive forward "

Cop1: "Well - well - we got you now - Your car has told us how fast you went, hw hard you turned and how hard you braked"

Cop2: "Oh - and don't forget the data we are going to subpoena from OnStar - we been tracking your speeding movemens for a year now - I don't want to see you insurance bill Mr."

And dont think the above is not going to happen - it is.

Black boxes in planes are good - in cars - bad...

Funny you say that, because a C5 has one! Or at least according to a link I read. Underneath the radio there is a box with a serial port. From what I read, there is no reason or explanation for it being there.

godspeed06 · 01-21-2004, 08:24 PM

shit... that isn't as cool as i once thought. no way, there needs to be some kind of secrecy contract like with lawyers with onstar. if they fuck me over i'm never going to use their service again.

666fast · 01-21-2004, 08:30 PM

Here ya go RC45, I found a link about it.

Do you honestly think I do not know that my car has a black box...

...that's why I brought the topic up, as who knows how much more data is being recorded in the newer version...
