Which is faster?

WARNING:this might come as a shock to fanboys.







No american car has "new"technology.they are as conservative and old-fashioned as their government is.

Way to be a biased idiot.

I think the C6 is a little faster, but all in all, they're pretty even and it'll probably depend on the drivers' feels of each car around a track.

I'm looking for 1/4 mile and 0-60mph. 1/4 mile is not listed on this site. Also, lots of websites put #'s down on the stats. A lot of those #'s are just manufacturer estimates and not actual stats. I do believe stats that are in magazines are accurate because they are actually tested. If someone knows a reliable source on the internet, then please post up.

Ahaha the boy from VAncouver owns the Netherlands and New York all in one shot..not bad for a canadian..though i'm sure you can through in a brit and we'll still take him

I'd think that around a track the old Z06 i don't thnik the corvette has made any ridiculous additions in terms of technology, if any at all..plus there's slightly better power to weight on the old Z06, not to mention that both get in their peak hp at the same revs..again numbers based solely, not sure if anyone would be absolutely sure though fiero we're all doing our best..

So many people here keep trying to dish out bullshit to me. You cant dish it to me if you cant take it back. Some people just need to shut up if they dont know the answer to my question. All I asked was simple question. There is no politics to my question.

For both cars the 0-60 is right around the 4 second range, Ive seen 3.9 for both.
1/4 mile times from magazines have the C5 Z06 at 12.4, and the C6 Z51 at 12.5, but its possible to take a stock C5 Z06 into the 11s (a guy with the user name of "ranger" has done this, he also has ran low 11s with the C6 Z06).

Like I said, they're pretty equal. It'll come down to the driver, and 1 may be faster on 1 track than another.

That's probably about the best answer you'll get to which is fastest, man. Sorry.

If they are pretty much equal and (I couldn't find stats on the sites I check) the C6 base car and the Z06 being the tuned version, then that speaks really well for the C6. The new basic Corvette can run with the older top-of-the-line and for how much less money? Also, then new Z06 should just destroy the old Z06...

What are u talking about? The new C6 coupe costs more then a older Z06...so doesnt that mean the old Z06 is the best value? Also, of course the new Z06 kills the old one...no questions.

I often go to caranddriver.com or motortrend.com to compare specs on cars. Both sites will have multiple articles and road tests which may give you different figures, but i usually compare the best numbers for a car in one of the magazines to the best numbers for another car in the same magazine.

Let's settle our arguments by testing the cars using Gran Turismo 5/ Forza 2 when they come out. Then we can test them against the new Corvette in 2007-8

Wrong! The '04 Z06 cost more than a base C6. Why didn't you know that?

2004 prices (C5)
Base - ?
Z06 - $52,185

2006 prices (C6)
Base - $43,690
Z06 - $64,890

well you're probably not going to find a new 2004 zo6, and used one probably would cost less than a brand new c6 (even with very low miles).

You're probably right about that but accounting depreciation brings a whole new dimension. In a couple of years when the C6 is old it'll probably cost much less than the limited production '04 Z06...

The question is best answered with MSRP pricing.

wow it is so sad that you had to even EXPLAIN that...

Really? MSRP pricing doesnt really apply to a 2 year old car and i was assuming he was compparing the 2 cars based on how much they would actually cost today. In fact, i think if you were to compare a slightly used 2006 c6 with a 2004 zo6 with about the same miles the prices would be nearly identical.
