2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Acceleration Video Keep your eye on the tach and speedo during a terminal velocity blast in a 2006 Corvette Z06. The June 2006 issue of Motor Trend track tests five of America's hottest tuner vehicles against the new 505-horsepower Chevrolet Corvette Z06. A strike force of five tuner cars, 4,500 horsepower, and six tough tests were documented across 14 pages in the magazine, and in this video.

Nice - so thats what 505hp can do... I need to find out definitively what 480hp can do

Holy fuck, that's mclaren F1 like fast :shock: :shock: :shock:

[bmwmpower]

impressive, no doubt thats fast car

[coombsie66]

Quick car, but damn 5th is seriously long! I bet that slows it considerably in the 4th to 5th change region, needs a 6 speed.

And exactly WTF has that got to do with anything other than PROVE the C6 Z is a serious threat to everyone.. as your precious little article even named the Corvette as a direct competitor.

Case closed.

All you really did was prove that the 9977TT, the F430 and the C6 Z06 are so close it will come down to driver everytime.

Oh - and I will give you a couple hours chance to repost your nazi propaganda article in the porsche forum before I delete it.. this thread is about the C6 Z 0-190mph on camera run - not some "supposedly" fast porker .. afterall, the tester even admits the time is a little suspicious and will wait for another test to confirm.

Oh - and 60-0 in 116ft is 6ft longer than a 2001 C5 Z06 needed... seems porsche still can't build a better stooping car after 5 years ..

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

What a testy temper. I was just stating the latest facts about the 480 hp you were wondering about. Never said the Z06 was bad. By they way I am not a German nor a Nazi so please refrain from calling or trying to relate such titles to me. I support the same flag you do.

Yes all these cars are marvelous in their numbers and that they fit the markets they are aimed for so why is it that everyone gets all worked up over it? :roll:

the C6 Z06 is fast, on a straight line it may come down to the driver when racing an F430, but on a track with bends, come on, dont be unrealistic. It cant beat the F430 there.

Z06 is a great car, it can beat M3's, thats for sure. GT40 and Z06 are the only two american cars I'd consider having. But it cant be compared to an F430.

But they could have made it quicker and still return the same MPG by sticking a 6 speed in it
