Dubai races-SLR vs C6 Z06
Dont get me wrong. If all you can afford, is 65K, the Vette is a GREAT car. Perfect car for someone just starting out. 20-21 years old, thats the car to get.
I don't know if it's fair to say the Z06 is a peice of ****. Maybe it's less desireable to someone that can afford $200k-$300K+ cars, but it's not a POS.
I think the Z06 is one of, if not the best sports car values out there.
BTW, How many 20-21 year olds are buying $65K cars? Most of the U.S. can't afford $60k cars nevermind 20 year olds; unless of course the 20 year old is your son.
You flap your gums a lot, for someone who lives off their wife like a parasite lol...

And I love how some people are saying gallardo will beat it around a track. I know nurburgring isn't everything, but Z06 has a 7:43 and the gallardo has a 7:52!!!!!!! hahaha pathetic

Comparing your silly Nurburgring time, shows truly what a fool you are. You are comparing the Z06's time, in which Chevy sent a team to the Ring for 2 weeks,including their own profesional race driver, testing, tuning and making suspension changes on the car to get that time. While the Gallardos time, was accomplished by a magazine editor, Horst Van Saurma, after a day of testing various cars.
Just the fact that you even mention gas mileage is laughable. Im sorry, but I could careless if I got 2mpg in my Lambo. When you buy a car like that, mpg, and or gas prices dont matter.

Same track, same driver.
You say the Z06 being faster than your gallardo isn't a big deal? I'd disagree, I think it is quite an accomplishment that chevy can offer a package that is faster than a gallardo in a straightline and around the track.
I don't know that much about reliability for either car. However, I can say that lambos, ferrari's or high performance chevys probably spend a similar amount of time in the shop. Sometimes you end up with a lemon. Certainly not all Z06's needed their engines replaced. If anything it is ferraris and lambos that have the reputation of being in the shop all the time.
I love the gallardo and think its a fantastic vehicle. I'd much rather be in a gallardo than a Z06. However, the only advantage you recieve in a gallardo is the pure design and art form of the car as well as the prestige the brand gives you. In terms of performance and convenience the Z06 is most definitely superior than the gallardo.
I'm not 100% on this but I'm fairly certain that Horst von Saurma did drive the Z06 on nordschliefe and he got a time of 7:49. I've been trying to find the article, bit I can't find it online. I'll keep looking and post it up if I find it.

Actually a pretty cool site....allan will be happy to know that "a" Lambo scored a faster lap time than the Z06; however, it was the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, coming in at 7:47.
But hell, you want bragging rights for lap times? von Saurma piloted the Koenigsegg CCR to a 7:34 !!!
They also claim that a Mercedes SLR McLaren ran a 7:40, driven by Klaus Ludwig.
I wouldn't have thought that thing would hit it that well...And of course, there are multiple tests of Porsche GT2s and GT3s in the sub-7:50 range....fantastic track cars, those.

And now, the new Gallardo SL, has recorded a 1.16.17 on the Vairano track compared to say the new 997 GT3RS 1.18.54.Both cars, same day, same driver Alain Prost.
The Gallardo SL just ran a 1.10.9 at Hockenheim.
it takes a pretty pathetic ****ing ***** to bring a mans wife into a conversation about cars.
I bet everyone feels REAL safe sitting infront of there computer monitor.
Next time one of you guys sees Allanlambo in person with his wife,make sure to back up your words on the internet and say the same things to his face..
...and then proceeds to quote a magazine:

Might I remind you that it was you who claimed (falsely) that Sport Auto hadn't tested the Z06 at Nurburgring?
Well, they did. I corrected your false claim.
And of course, as is typical for you when you're shown to be wrong, you start in with the insults. "Magazine warrior"....lol. Yes, that's it: anyone (except you, of course) who posts magazine tests of lap times done by drivers like von Saurma, upon whose *** you are not one pimple, is a "magazine warrior".
Just as someone who posts the score for a superbowl game from Sports Illustrated would be a "sports magazine warrior", I guess.
Or someone who reports the world record holder in the 100m dash is a "track and field magazine warrior", lol.Now, here's the thing: it was YOU who first mentioned von Saurma, was it not? Yes, it was:
And in typical hypocritical fashion, after lambasting someone a few posts ago for comparing the 7'40" 'ring time for the Z06 done by Jan Magnussen to the time done by von Saurma in the Gallardo, because the times hadn't been done by the same driver, then what do you turn right around and do? Why, post a link to the times recorded at an Italian track by...drumroll please...it's coming...a bunch of different drivers!

I eagerly await your typical ad hominem response, which will surely fall into the "I'm so rich, you drive a CLK55", or "you're a magazine racer", etc. etc. etc....none of which, of course, will dispell the nasty little facts that you don't want to hear.
