Stock C6 Z06 with DOT DR Runs 10.856 1/4mi

Relax girls. The Corvette beat the Ferrari on Motor Trend's test track by a little under 2 seconds I believe. Obviously, the track had a fair bit of straights but.. a track none the less. I'd take a Ferrari myself, but, the Corvette's a very capable car.

Sure, it'll keep up or even beat one in acceleration, but the thing has leaf springs for god's sake! Won't keep up around a track.

Im just going to assume this is a joke.

Do you have any remotely unbiased proof that the Corvette could do that?

Nothing from the Corvette forums now...

Nothing but proof from a couple mags. The 430 faster the Z06 in a straightline is a joke.

Youd have to be stupid not to the 430 is the better all around car.

Does it have smaller rims then stock Viper? I read it has 17's which would allow more sidewall flex.

Z06 has 18s in front, 19s in back, Viper has the same, but 1in wider rears, and .5in wider fronts. Both come stock with runcraps so sidewall flex should be very very little.

The main reason why vipers are slower is because they have 303 rear ends...which is absolutely rediculous...but you can get aftermarket upgraded to 373..in which case it is much much faster

But dont forget the extra 400lbs the Viper is hauling around.

I know that but i was asking viper if rangers car has 17's on the back which would make quite a difference with radials on them vs the stock 19's with radials of course. You should put some Z06 rims on your car its defiantly one of my favorite looks for the trans am.

Ha thanks for the laugh. Yes it could beat it a drag track or a road race track probably an oval as well.

It's got more power and longer gearing, so of course it would, but that would prove what exactly?

Look! Proof the Corvette is teh BoMb!

Sorry Corvettes ain't bad

Oh ok, I dont know.
I like the look of both C5 Z06 and C6 Z06 wheels on t/a, but if I were getting wheels it would probably be fiske fm5's.

That's seriously quick, though. It's such a good deal price-wise, but I'm tired of everyone saying it'll beat Ferraris. Sure, it'll keep up or even beat one in acceleration, but the thing has leaf springs for god's sake! Won't keep up around a track.

If you are critisizing it for leaf springs you simply don't understand the mechanics of how they are used. Perhaps some educating would help...
