For those who say the F430 is faster check this out. The vette started at 2k rpm in second.

Love the sound of the engine
Where does it say that the F430 was modified?
500hp/485lbs tq vs 483hp/343lbs tq. The Vette even weighs less... Dump all that power into the F430 and it would do wonders. I hate to admit it sometimes, but Ferrari is simply amazing.
but utterly uncool lol I think when people say the F430 is faster i think they're talking about racing...Originally Posted by Niko_Fx
That is racing of sort. The F430 isnt faster around a track either.Originally Posted by The_Canuck

I didn't see it mention it was modified.
And rev, I think you're just trying to spark another Z06 vs. F430 debate.

Yes it is, Road and Track(guests of quatrroruote at the time) did a comparo between a few cars including the F430 and Zo6, they did it on a test facility/track owned by the publishing company of previously mentioned magazine.Originally Posted by rev440
Lap times:
F430:1,17
Zo6: 1,19
(gallardo was also faster then ZO6)
0-100-0 times
F430: 12.5
ZO6: 13.1
(Gallardo and Ford GT also faster then ZO6)
Top Speed
F430: 195.9
ZO6: 197
The F430 also pulled more Gs around the corners, was faster at deaccelarating, and had a higher speed at the Start finish, Highspeed section and low speed s turn by 3-6 MPH....
Oh also, F430 is faster in 0-60 0-100 and 1/4 mile...
except it isn't, i thought?Originally Posted by The_Canuck

My info is from Road and Track who tested both cars and as far as i know are less biased then Ferrari or Chevy.Originally Posted by clutch-monkey
Here are the times... 0-60 for F430 3.8, ZO6 4.1
0-100 F430 8.3, ZO6 8.9
1/4 mile F430 11.9, ZO6 12.2
Although the Zo6 was 4ft better in 60-0 braking. But then it was 6ft worse in 80-0.
But to the ZO6s credit it was .1 MPH faster in the slalom.

Road and Track is a joke. Motortrend got the car into the 11's and the fastest time for an all stock C6Z is an 11.3 driven by ranger of corvette forums. There were C5 Z06 running 3.9's in the 0-60 and the C6Z is tested to 0-60 in 3.7 seconds.Originally Posted by The_Canuck
I find it very odd that one magazine had the F430 ahead by 2 seconds and the other had the C6Z faster by 3 seconds as the car never gained any time in the turns on the Z.

Who did all this testing?Originally Posted by rev440
Motor trend did the testing and Ranger is a private owner of a Z. Car and driver has the Ferrari at 12.5 at 116 and the Vette is 11.7 at 123. Your numbers dont even make sense why would a lighter car with more torque and horsepower get beat from 0-60 and the 1/4. The Z06 traps around 124-126 on average.Originally Posted by The_Canuck

Or perhaps you only believe the numbers that you want to believe. You and slicks should get married.Originally Posted by rev440
