isnt it somthing? :v

 

That sure is fast. I wonder if there's a faster car.

 

11.7 sec - 1/4mi.... SICK!

Skidpad - almost 1... SICK!

This car is gonna be amaaazing!

 

There's always a faster car!!

 

Damm, that is a fast car for being stock. Watch out exotics.

 

drool

 

Are there faster cars, or cars with better handling? Of course. The better question is whether or not there's a faster car for that price. That would be no. Unless you wanted to count in track cars and other specials. But still, awesome machine.

 

it's 1 second faster in reaching 1/4 mile than the regular C6 (source: motor trend) but it's also $25k more. Z06 sure is fast but the regular C6 probably offers more bangs for the buck

 

dont forget its nuderbur track time is 7.42!!! thats very fast!

 

Aren't those almost Ford GT level stats? Crazy stuff.

 

Very impressive.
If you stop to listen, you can actually hear the Vette guys' egos inflating worldwide.

 

Well, you have to give them kudos on this one. That is one heck of a performance car for the price or at any price.

 

I did. Hence me starting my post by saying "Very impressive."

 

When the E63 comes out, especially if ever goes TT, the MB folks ego will be inflated all the world as well.

 

HOLY SH*T ! !

 

I'll believe it when I see it. I've got a C6 and all the other folks who have them on the corvetteforum have not been able to duplicate the original magazine times in the real world. It seems that GM likes to give the press the hot cars with no computerized restrictions that throw up these great numbers and then sell consumers watered down versions of those cars with all sorts of devices to keep the car from acheiving its potential like torque managment, software that pulls timing from the motor at ceratin temps, etc.

 

Bravo to the Americans! Damn, this car is quicker than just about everything this side of the Carrera GT and the Enzo. Hopefully these cars are representative of the production car. Anything else quicker??

 

very impressive stable!,

oh the Z06 is crazy.

Ummmm your way wrong man.

I ran a 12.7 totally stock with my AUTO!!! Also there are MANY other MN6 owners that have run around 12.5 stock.

Take it easy you crazy fool.

 

I truly believe the Z06 is seriously underrated from the factory. My friend has a head and cam package LS1 GTO and it makes 410rwhp through an automatic. Calculating for drivetrain loss, this would be very close to 500 crank hp. Now, factor in the 427ci displacement of the Z06, not to mention the technology improvements including high-flowing heads, dry sump oil system, etc and I would actually expect the Z06 to make its claimed 505 horsepower at the rear wheels.

 

Don't think the Z06 is making 590 crank HP. That would mean with a 15% (very good for a manual) drivetrain loss to the rear wheels, you are getting 500 rwhp.

I don't doubt the HP is underrated, just not by that much. 500 or so HP in a 3150 lb. car will give the times the car mags have been reporting. Remember, the Ford GT with 550 HP weighs over 3400 lbs.

 

[QUOTE=LairdR]Post your timeslips.

That's the last time you're gonna call me names, it's not necessary. And as for what I said about other C6 owners check out the corvette forum and you'll see what I'm talking about.

What kind of Benz do you drive? Post your benz pictures

 

[QUOTE=RennTechV12]You're saying the Vette guys can't break into the 12s w/ a C6? I'd have thought a properly launched auto would do it.

 

[QUOTE=medici78]Some can some can't. I love my C6 it's got a lot of torque and HP that are instantly on tap, the LS2 is a great motor, GM just chose to neuter the thing by adding all of these extra protection devices, I'm guessing for warranty purposes. I've spoken with many Vette tuners who have said the same thing. That's why everyone is waiting for the LS2Edit software to come out, so 100% can be gotten out of the motor.

The autos seem to launch much better than the MN6s do, but many autos have had issues with GM's torque management kicking in and stealing power.

 

[QUOTE=medici78]Word is the "torque management system" on the C6's bears a resemblance to our ESP. As a result, low high 12/low 13-second quarters with non-Z06 C6's are not unusual unless some software mods are made.
