2005 E55
Time to get rid of E55!

Well fellas is was fun while it lasted. I guess we will all have Z06 in garage soon. They will be 11.00 1/4 street cars. Great clear video.

Even with drags the E55 will not make it.

Derek's will beat it! Okay, only if the Vette gets a bad launch.

I still don't see why a four door sedan is being compared to a coupe.

Nice video, by the way.

What in the world does the E55 have to do with a 700 pound lighter coupe, exactly?

11.76 is very nice... but damn, shouldn't a 500 hp car that weighs 3.4k perform that well give that our "slow" E55 4.1k heavier 4 doors are pulling 12s all day long? God, I should hope so. At the LEAST.

They are two different cars completely.

AS for "nice clear video".... damn, sure, if you're on CRACK. Jerking around just trying to capture a stationary SIGN. Funny!

the Z06 rocks... but not because it will take an E55 in the 1/4. It rocks because Chevy finally built a Vette worthy of the name that is finally competitive with other cars in its class.

Dude, where's the faith. I'm over half a second faster than that car and have run 11.65 without nitrous.

Amazingly fast for stock though.

I agree, why is the E55 being compared to the C6 Z06? Personally, I ordered one because I wanted a daily driver/weekend track car and the C6 Z06 offers performance usually found in vehicles that cost 2X as much. The only modification I may perform is a set of light wheels and sticky tires for track days. If I wanted a sedan with character, I would have bought a '06 LS2 CTS-V and used the money I saved to give to Mallet or Lingenfelter.

It was nice owning the streets over the past 2.5 years

Add $1.5K headers on that Z06 and its at 490rwhp running 4mph faster on par with Derek's time.

I think you'll see mid 11's an maybe someone can get under 11.50's but you're not getting in the 10's with that car being stock. It want take a lot of mods to get it there but it ain't happen stock.

A lot of E55 owners seem to claim how their E55 killed a M3 or something. If a comparison between the C6 Z06 and E55 is not really "valid", then maybe some of us should stop bragging about how the E55 killed this and that? Besides, killing anything that's not a four door sedan wouldn't be "valid" anyways. :p

How do we know for sure that that car was stock?

The best I've seen anybody on the Corvette Forum get in their Z was 12.2@119.
