I have a z06 and if this idiot thinks a base vette is a better all around car ,he needs to change fields.Whoever drives a z06 wont touch a base vette ever again!
@camirocz Yeah, I'm sure it is far superior. Hehehehehehe. I wouldn't get caught dead in a vette. He someone gave me one I would bust the glass out of the rear hatch and haul dirt around my property with it. It looks like a stationwagon all humped up in the ass. Just right for hauling dirt. I'd also put a trailer hitch on it and tow my john-boat on the back roads to the river so nobody would see me in it.
shouldn't exist what a idiot and with a cam and headers it doesn't hand with a zr1 it smokes it and with the Michelin tires it would have been neck and neck with the zr1 on that track and as for the sound it sounds way better wow look at the lap a Mazda raceway i think from car and driver maybe auto trend i cant remember but damn
the cylinder walls on an ls7 are to thin for a supercharger if they survive the boost you wont be able to keep it cool and it will blow up anyway or blow head gaskets
I have a c6 base model and I don't know why everyone complains about the interior... I think its comfortable. Also if you put enough money into a z06, it would beat a zr1, Hell if I supercharged my base I could beat a zr1 on a drag (if i had good tires)
Id still rather have a fuckin Z06 put a head and cam package in it and you still beat the ZR1 without payin over a 120k. Z06 all the way Remeber 7.0 427ci. Versus6.2 376ci.
the zr1 is to exspensive and its to heavy the z06 is almost 200 pounds lighter and n/a the stock moter will make more than the zr1 and the z06 is easy to lighten up as well its for the person who wants fast with out paying 120k
i love all 3 but lets be real they make cam/head packages that will get you close to 700 crank hp in the z06 its still cheaper lighter and also N/A it hNDLES great and looks badass i like the base vette but looks cheap compared to the z06
Im not a Chevy guy but I LOVE those Corvettes especially the ZR-1....and the Z06....and the awww shit you get the picture!!!!! I love American muscle no matter the brand as long as its American!!!!!!
that fucken moron said theres no reason for it to exist the z06 is the lightest of the 3 and w a cm and headers and exhaust it will hang w the zr1 it looks kickass i like the base coupe dont get me wrong but the z06 is for people who want a fast as shit car w/o the 100k price tag
@thevettedude66 THANK YOU! The Z06 is freaking awesome. Just do a heads/cam/intake/headers/tune and it can easily make even more power naturally aspirated and while weighing less than the ZR1. This is why to me the Z06 is king. Although the ZR1 is a freaking monster.
I totally agree with you! Just for the 7.0L 427ci...technically 428ci -engine alone, I disagree with C&D. Every other feature is a bonus in my eyes. All three are amazing machines though :)
Ha. You can buy a base non-Z51/Grand Sport manual trans Vette and mod it into any of the other three models. This is with the exception of the aluminum frame of course.
@rkfromchi And without the carbon body parts, the magnesium engine cradle, dry sump lubrication (vital for serious tracking), the warrantee, or the reliability. Apart from that you can mod it into any of the other TWO (not three) models.
But then you'll end up with a car that costs as much as them anyway (if it's a proper job) so why not just buy the others to start with and get those extras and the peace of mind of factory warrantee?
I used to love modding cars at these prices why risk it? :)
@ER00s Chevrolet does not offer the z51 package anymore, but instead offer the grand sport edition. Personally I would take the grand sport due to having z06 looks and has the option of a targa top and is easier to live with daily. The z06 can be used daily, but is less enjoyable. and on the streets when your not racing, 436hp is plenty =) hope I helped!
@ER00s z51 = good on the roads, okay on the track, zo6 = okay on the road, good on the track. zr1=better than z51 on the road, better than zo6 on the track
i respect all the Z cars. they have like different levels. i love the base corvettes amazing price and mpg and the sheer looks and power of it. the z06 is loaded with power and 0-60 in first gear is killer! and the zr1 is a load a badass with a machine gun to back it up. the zr1 is faster than some super cars thats cost over 300,000$ or even more!
if you were gonnna buy one of these them mod it wouldn't the z06 be the best choice considering the biggest engine 7.0 liters with i think it said 535hp and thats n/a so strap a supercharger and that thing and it will be a monster...not to mention a twin turbo..im sure if you had say a garrett twin turbo on this thing with the supporting mods it would be right around 1000hp
@focusizhere it makes 505hp, but its harder to mod. If it was so easy to mod, they would have just supercharged it to make the zr1. The z06 has such high compression rates that any extra aspiration would make it very unreliable without some major engine internal work. With the money you put into it, you might as well buy a zr1, and it would be much more reliable as well. Hope that cleared up some confusion.
@MegaMaster456 I never said anything about it being a muscle car or sports car. I talked about compression rates. And a muscle car is defined as a 2+2 mid-sized cars. I'll agree it has muscle car traits, but the corvette is a sports car.
@odinandme its almost not worth it. The Z06 comes with better brakes and it handles better too, I get what your saying, but a new LS7 goes for around 15k. So after all the cost to put it in, its prob gonna be close the the Z06 sticker price, that is if its a new vette.
It might be a good idea to do that with an older used vette tho...
You can put a blower on a Z06 and safely run 8-10psi.. I have an 08 Z51 car with 10.5:1 compression and run a D1 procharger @ 15psi.. Search for my vid stage 2.5 hpf m3 corvette. That is what a procharged vette runs like!
Every ZR1 video says something about the seats Chevy showed cahnge them but then again its already 100,000+ so what another couple hundred bucks to get new seats people
However, if I had to choose I would go for the Z06, due to its cheaper price tag and its beastly easy-to-mod LS7 V8.
I love that LS7 it has to be one of GMs greatest engines not to mention its 7.0L 427, and if built up/modded right and boosted, it will create mind blowing amounts of power.
I'm not yet sure how much more power there is to squeeze out of the ZR1's LS9.
I would totally agree with you if you're looking for a maxed out build, but remember they are reviewing factory stock cars, right down to the tires. They do not take modding into account because that goes beyond the scope of the magazine.
For practicality's sake, if you wanted to built a real track car, the Z06 is the car you should buy. Nobody wants a supercharger on a REAL track car. It overheats, puts increased strain on the engine, and supercharger itself burns out. Not to mention getting another additional 100hp N/A out of the Z06 isn't that hard. With all that extra money left over, you can slap on a sweet chassis and suspension and even coil overs and have a TRUE track car that will RAPE a ZR1.
Oh I don't do I? The ZR1 weighs more than even the Z06. They could have drastically decreased weight. There is no excuse for that amount of weight especially with a leaf spring suspension. I also would like them to use coil over suspensions just like every other racing vehicle including the C6R uses. All they did on the ZR1 was slap on a supercharger and essentially just gave it more power........whoop dee shit.
all the guys that whine about leaf spirngs drive civics, 240sx, preludes, or some eimilar slow car that doesnt handle at all but they say it does because its chinese, the numbers dont agree, the zr1 can pull 1.02g on the skidpad which is the same as a porsche gt2 (has coil springs) but it costs twice as much, look up the component you are referring to, it doubles as an anti roll bar, and shocks accompany it as well
@deadfaithful All the people that whine about leaf springs?.........like the C6R racing team........THAT USES FUCKING COIL OVERS YOU FUCKING RETARD!!! How do you make a fucking track car that has no adjustability for it's suspension?.....that's one POS track car right there. On top of that it SOMEWHAT doubles in place of the anti-roll bar, but is not as stiff as a REAL anti-roll bar on a true track car.
ahh help the big angry kid can use all caps and curse oh noes... lets grow up a little please, the c6r simply takes the shocks that would be there for comfort and puts in stiffer coil-over shocks, i can do the same thing to my 85 corvette, the transverse leaf spring weighs about as much as 1 conventional spring coil and the weight is supported by the body not the wheel so you have less unsprung weight on the tire for a faster response and u can use a lighter anti roll bar
what are you talking about overheats, you clearly know nothing, what would you classify a sweet chassis? a porsche? why so someone can spend twice the money to get the same handling just a little slower
@soupahfast You are telling me you have never heard of superchargers and heat sink before?...wow..just wow..I'd really suggest you get more info on engine design and function before even walking into this shitstorm. A Porsche GT3 would be a good example of a good handling car and one that handles far better than a ZR1. Is the ZR1 faster?..yes..but not due to handling..it's due to the fact that the ZR1 has over 150+ more hp.
the porsche gt3 is 112k u.s. and it handles at 1.03g on the skidpad, 0-60 in 4 secs and top speed 194mph weighs 3075lbs while the zr1 is 101k us, handles at 1.02g (thats 1/100th of a g in laymans) 0-60 in 3.3 secs top speed 202mph and weighs 3333lbs, oh yeah the porsche has 435hp vs 638 so thats 203 more horsepower, the zr1 will blow away a gt3 the difference in handling is so minimal, and an intercooler for a supercharger doesnt get that hot, not like a turbo, talk #s not trash
@soupahfast A ZR1 is only 2 seconds quicker than a Z06 around the Top Gear track and the C&D track despite the fact it has 130+ more hp and carbon ceramic brakes over the Z06. I can throw on P Zeros, a torquer cam, basic intake/exhaust changes and get 2 seconds more out of a Z06 for a fraction of the price. You talk like the numbers indicate something even though the McLaren F1 only pulled a 0.86g on the skidpad. Man what a POS car that must of been *rolls eyes*
the mclarens suspension was made to be comfortable more than grippy and it shows, thats kind of wierd considering the 7.26.04 track time it made at the Nürburgring, which by the way is faster than any porsche you love, and only beaten by a maserati, a hardcore viper, and a few cars made only to race there, all you can do is insult or act cynical, go back to your honda civic vids and dont flame here anymore
@soupahfast The McLaren's suspension was made to be comfortable? LMAO You do realize we are talking about the McLaren F1 right? You know the previous production speed record holder from the 90s right? You are clueless beyond belief. I'm in tears laughing right now.
still you insult and you dont know, hows about this-wiki the mclaren f1 and look at its suspension, it was made to be the ultimate "road car" which means to be driven on the road, it has double wishbone suspension that is designed to shift back when it hits a bump to further minimize the force, the result a more comfortable ride and less grip, and in my last comment i was talking about the zr1 with the track time of 7.26.04
@soupahfast So you are going to fault the F1 for simply having a double wishbone suspension. Please, we all know the McLaren would dust the ZR1 on any track, so don't go there. Regarding Nurburgring times, not every production car has even tried to put up a time there, and if they did they didn't have a factory racing driver attempt it in all cases. In the ACR's case, they did and beat the ZR1 and the ACR is by far the better car of the two.
in an unofficial test the acr ran 4 secs faster than the zr1, but thats a different topic, you say the mclaren would "dust" a zr1 but you did so only by totally disregarding all of the information i wrote, you are too ignorant to carry on a conversation with, after you read this, and you get all mad and write a hissy-fit msg, google the words "mclaren f1 suspension" and then read it, im done talking to you
@soupahfast You seriously think the ZR1 will beat the McLaren?......wow man. I hope you are done talking if that's the case. I even hate McLaren homers, but the McLaren is a vastly superior car to the ZR1 in about every aspect. The McLaren weighs 800+lbs less than the ZR1.....EIGHT FUCKING HUNDRED PLUS.
Yes. The Z06 is has the stiffest ride of any of the vettes I have own or driven. But at the time it was the fastest. Im kinda getting tired of the ride a bit. Damn roads here are not that smooth.
its funny how this is one of the only reviews that knocks the Z06- the Z06 is one of the most significant Corvettes to date, it even roasts Ferraris and Lambos for heavens sake...stock!
how about go faster z06 and little mods can pump out 750bhp try that with zr1 or z51 bc the z06 has the biggest and most power full natural aspirated engine from gm
@AnimepimpYT sounds horrid looks like a street racer's wet dream plus americans never shut up about it (americans i know anyway) whereas the base model looks sleeker plus if i got the base model and tweaked it so it had the performance figures of a zr1 i would have a lot more self satifaction.
I have 300c srt8 highly modified with twin turboz(786 hp) and I have kicked the shit out of most supercars on the road, yesterday I raced a Zr1, I barely beat it, it gave me a run for my money. To gm u have built one hell of a car, u have my respect
@SClassFinalFlash hell yea but 1 problem the zr1 dont handle like it supose to they made the grand sport handle better than the zr1 if u think about it
Whoever the fuck thumbed up this comment, is a gullible idiot, however, I am not, you probably drive an ACR Neon, and if you raced a 305 Vette from the 70's with it, you'd get your ass handed to you.
@SClassFinalFlash = thank you, i am not a GM rep but i am a loyal GM fan and its good to see a car lover outside of GM that has some respect for it. But in another sense, if it wasnt any good it wouldnt have so many haters ;P BTW, how crazy fun is that SRT to drive, bet nobody knows your driving 700+ hp when they pass by on the free way but then they get blown away. nice sleeper car
@zr1vetteman09 +100. People need to get past the fanboy attitude and enjoy all these cars for their very existance and stop knocking the car that's not their favourite. Vettes, Stangs, Dodge, GTR, Porsche whatever. They all make great cars for different tastes. Without the competition your favourite wouldn't be as good as it is today so praise the competition and pray they get better cause it means your favourite will get better too.
Now where can I get a decent set of seats for my Z06??? :)
@SoreHead11 Exactly my point, i was just defending my favorite, HEY whats wrong are your hips too small!! lol they fit me very well! lol thanks for the comment ;)
@zr1vetteman09 heh heh. The size of the seat is just fine. The complete lack of side bolster support is not. Also, the guy that owned it before me must have been a lard ass. The drivers seat cushion has flattened already with only 16000 miles on it. The backs of both seats can be moved freely about 9 inches back and forth too and it's all the ones I've looked at so not just mine ???? bizarre. Pity. It's only a decent interior from being a serious "complete" car. Oh well. Fast and fun anyway.
im a big fan when it comes to a corvette have a 69 427 and a new zo6 i beat with my new zo6 a gallardo and i seen a race between the zr1 and the gallardo and the gallardo pass the shit out of that zr1 i dont now about you guys but i think the zo6 is the faster car
the gallarado would only pass a zr1 if the driver was a dumbass and your probably a good driver but the zr1 is 135 hp more than a zo6 so the zr1 is faster but still nice job beating the gallrado you beat and you probably spent 100,000 $ less on your car
I've driven a Z06 around Oulton Park and I wouldn't say it's scary, but definitely very involving. It's very harsh on the road though but a lot of our roads are rubbish anyway.
they are lying about the Zr1 being easier to drive. It can't possibly. Just making that clear if that's why you changed your mind.you could also get a zo6 and supercharge it for less than the zr1s price and it would 6.3 (zr1) vs 7.0 (zo6)
There's more to the ZR1 than just the engine. Its suspension is wildly different than the Z06's and that's what makes it easier to drive. The consensus of all magazine reviews have been that the ZR1 is more docile than the Z06.
The only problem with that is you have a car with 700 hp that's not ment to have 700 hp. the factory squeezed everything out of that to get the Z06. you will loose much of you stability and cornering ability by S-Charging a Z06. straight line, yes! wicked fast, but give the ZR1 all day long over it.
Please save and get the ZR1, I own a Z06 and love it, my boss just got a silver ZR1, and i feel like my car is a honda civic compared to the beast! Trust me that ZR1 is more fun to drive than you could ever imagine in your wildest dreams! iF YOU HAVE THE MEANS THERE IS NO OTHER CAR IN THE WORLD LIKE IT! I mean come on it's faster than a gt2 all the ferraries, and only a lil bit slower than the 670-4 lambo. but thats a half million dollar car that you cant daily drive!
A car like the Nissan Sentra shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as 'Corvette.' Whoever said his Sentra is faster than most stock 'Vettes, I have a question for you. How did you come to this conclusion? Have you raced a Corvette before and won? If so, do you realize that the Corvette didn't know you were racing? Corvettes are brokenly fast. I have a 350Z and I like it, it's a fun car. But I know it'll get beat by C5s and C6s. A Sentra, even an SE-R, can't even beat a C4.
It is funny how some people want to talk about how they like their Ferrari, Lamborgini, Porsche, etc better. But there really is no comparison when you are spending twice the money for less performance. Just buy a vette, get rid of the suspension and other creature comforts and save yourself half the price.
I have a black Z51 convt 2009. The fun comes when the passenger tries to find something to hold onto when you take off through the gears and you see their fear as they look for something to hold onto. The look in your passenger's face is worth everything. At an est. 4.5s 0-60 for the base, I would love to take a ZR1 out 3.5s 0-60. Basically, the vette is a race car made street legal & Chevy did a nice job of making it comfortable especially with 3lt opt. This puts the fun back in driving!
coolest part of it all is the price of the car, and the decent sized motor has incredible potential for more on pump gas if the owner feels competetive. For the money there is no comparison, some will say GTR, but you can't make 850 at the wheels with that v-6 on 93 octane
This is a point I try and make often when guys with turbocharged 4 cylinders pushing 20+ psi on race gas. You can make alot of power with pump gas and cubes. The Z06 has already made 1,100 rwhp on 93 octane and run 8s. The video of the 8s is here. LS3s can easily make 600+ rwhp on 93 octane all day. There are a few of those videos on here as well.
I just looked up a drum of c-16 to see how much it was, it was 15.70/gallon, not real practical and not in the spirit of GT driving but you can't get through these numb nutz. Personally, I'm way more impressed by a street car, than a slow wannabe race car
Wow, it has been a while since I have used C-16. I agree. I am much more impressed by a fast pump gas car because you can drive it everyday and anywhere. Damn. 10 gallons of C-16 is about what you would pay for 52 gallons of 93 Octane depending on where you are.
This is why I want an LS3. They can make enough power on 93 octane to run low 10s/high 9s trapping in the mid/high 130s. That is faster than anyone outside of professional drag racing will ever go.
there is a video on here of a z06 on 93 octane running mid 8's at 158, with some meth injected from a snow kit. If you keep up with Hot Rod pump gas drags, there are some twin turbo vipers that have also knocked down some mid 8's on 93, so much sexier than anything else out there. No GTR,No Ferrari, NO Lambo , NO Supra is remotely close when it comes to real world pump gas cars in the states.
I walk pass a black z51 every day on my way to work, the lines are beautiful, its like staring a frigin supermodel I need to fix my neck when I m done..LOL.. long live Corvette the first sports car ever!!!
they mean the zo6 is harder to handle then the other 2 the c6 is half the car the z06 is but the zo6 has the c6's suspension so its harder to handle but the zr1 is was about the other 2 power a suspension wise
Really Dude - The Z06 has rave reviews everywhere except here where you guys don't seem to know what to do with it. As a Z06 owner belive me THAT CAR IS SCARY SICK!
It's a very fair comparison to the big zr. But as a 09 coup owner a 2lt the seats seem fine to me and the interior has gone uplevel with carbon fiber and leather trimming no gripes here a wonderful car..
what people need to remember is that American manufactures are all about cheap power, thats what the msucle car eara was, cheap power and thats still what thevette is about, dont need a ncie interior you just need a volcanoe under the hood
Not to mention the Bowtie on the front. I hate Corvettes. I hate driving them, and I hate(d) working on them. But I can give credit where it's due; for the money, it's a beast. But I'm just not a Chevy guy.
A Z06 with twin turbos plus some other upgrades is very close to the same price as ZR1 and is a hell of alot faster.

@ER00s Chevrolet does not offer the z51 package anymore, but instead offer the grand sport edition. Personally I would take the grand sport due to having z06 looks and has the option of a targa top and is easier to live with daily. The z06 can be used daily, but is less enjoyable. and on the streets when your not racing, 436hp is plenty =) hope I helped!

thevettedude66 1 year ago
i respect all the Z cars. they have like different levels. i love the base corvettes amazing price and mpg and the sheer looks and power of it. the z06 is loaded with power and 0-60 in first gear is killer! and the zr1 is a load a badass with a machine gun to back it up. the zr1 is faster than some super cars thats cost over 300,000$ or even more!

thevettedude66 1 year ago
if you were gonnna buy one of these them mod it wouldn't the z06 be the best choice considering the biggest engine 7.0 liters with i think it said 535hp and thats n/a so strap a supercharger and that thing and it will be a monster...not to mention a twin turbo..im sure if you had say a garrett twin turbo on this thing with the supporting mods it would be right around 1000hp
focusizhere 1 year ago
@focusizhere it makes 505hp, but its harder to mod. If it was so easy to mod, they would have just supercharged it to make the zr1. The z06 has such high compression rates that any extra aspiration would make it very unreliable without some major engine internal work. With the money you put into it, you might as well buy a zr1, and it would be much more reliable as well. Hope that cleared up some confusion.

@MegaMaster456 I never said anything about it being a muscle car or sports car. I talked about compression rates. And a muscle car is defined as a 2+2 mid-sized cars. I'll agree it has muscle car traits, but the corvette is a sports car.

@odinandme its almost not worth it. The Z06 comes with better brakes and it handles better too, I get what your saying, but a new LS7 goes for around 15k. So after all the cost to put it in, its prob gonna be close the the Z06 sticker price, that is if its a new vette.
It might be a good idea to do that with an older used vette tho...
uniondude31 2 years ago 2
You can put a blower on a Z06 and safely run 8-10psi.. I have an 08 Z51 car with 10.5:1 compression and run a D1 procharger @ 15psi.. Search for my vid stage 2.5 hpf m3 corvette. That is what a procharged vette runs like!

chrisinator13 2 years ago
I don't know if I completly agree with this.
I like all vettes and I am a big fan of each.
However, if I had to choose I would go for the Z06, due to its cheaper price tag and its beastly easy-to-mod LS7 V8.
I love that LS7 it has to be one of GMs greatest engines not to mention its 7.0L 427, and if built up/modded right and boosted, it will create mind blowing amounts of power.
I'm not yet sure how much more power there is to squeeze out of the ZR1's LS9.

I would totally agree with you if you're looking for a maxed out build, but remember they are reviewing factory stock cars, right down to the tires. They do not take modding into account because that goes beyond the scope of the magazine.
PCgeek14 2 years ago
For practicality's sake, if you wanted to built a real track car, the Z06 is the car you should buy. Nobody wants a supercharger on a REAL track car. It overheats, puts increased strain on the engine, and supercharger itself burns out. Not to mention getting another additional 100hp N/A out of the Z06 isn't that hard. With all that extra money left over, you can slap on a sweet chassis and suspension and even coil overs and have a TRUE track car that will RAPE a ZR1.

Slap on a sweet chassis eh? I don't think you quite know what you're talking about.
Darkherooftheday 2 years ago 3
Oh I don't do I? The ZR1 weighs more than even the Z06. They could have drastically decreased weight. There is no excuse for that amount of weight especially with a leaf spring suspension. I also would like them to use coil over suspensions just like every other racing vehicle including the C6R uses. All they did on the ZR1 was slap on a supercharger and essentially just gave it more power........whoop dee shit.

all the guys that whine about leaf spirngs drive civics, 240sx, preludes, or some eimilar slow car that doesnt handle at all but they say it does because its chinese, the numbers dont agree, the zr1 can pull 1.02g on the skidpad which is the same as a porsche gt2 (has coil springs) but it costs twice as much, look up the component you are referring to, it doubles as an anti roll bar, and shocks accompany it as well
deadfaithful 1 year ago
@deadfaithful All the people that whine about leaf springs?.........like the C6R racing team........THAT USES FUCKING COIL OVERS YOU FUCKING RETARD!!! How do you make a fucking track car that has no adjustability for it's suspension?.....that's one POS track car right there. On top of that it SOMEWHAT doubles in place of the anti-roll bar, but is not as stiff as a REAL anti-roll bar on a true track car.

ahh help the big angry kid can use all caps and curse oh noes... lets grow up a little please, the c6r simply takes the shocks that would be there for comfort and puts in stiffer coil-over shocks, i can do the same thing to my 85 corvette, the transverse leaf spring weighs about as much as 1 conventional spring coil and the weight is supported by the body not the wheel so you have less unsprung weight on the tire for a faster response and u can use a lighter anti roll bar

@soupahfast You are telling me you have never heard of superchargers and heat sink before?...wow..just wow..I'd really suggest you get more info on engine design and function before even walking into this shitstorm. A Porsche GT3 would be a good example of a good handling car and one that handles far better than a ZR1. Is the ZR1 faster?..yes..but not due to handling..it's due to the fact that the ZR1 has over 150+ more hp.
frambesbuckeye 1 year ago
@frambesbuckeye
the porsche gt3 is 112k u.s. and it handles at 1.03g on the skidpad, 0-60 in 4 secs and top speed 194mph weighs 3075lbs while the zr1 is 101k us, handles at 1.02g (thats 1/100th of a g in laymans) 0-60 in 3.3 secs top speed 202mph and weighs 3333lbs, oh yeah the porsche has 435hp vs 638 so thats 203 more horsepower, the zr1 will blow away a gt3 the difference in handling is so minimal, and an intercooler for a supercharger doesnt get that hot, not like a turbo, talk #s not trash
soupahfast 1 year ago 2
@soupahfast A ZR1 is only 2 seconds quicker than a Z06 around the Top Gear track and the C&D track despite the fact it has 130+ more hp and carbon ceramic brakes over the Z06. I can throw on P Zeros, a torquer cam, basic intake/exhaust changes and get 2 seconds more out of a Z06 for a fraction of the price. You talk like the numbers indicate something even though the McLaren F1 only pulled a 0.86g on the skidpad. Man what a POS car that must of been *rolls eyes*
frambesbuckeye 1 year ago
@frambesbuckeye
the mclarens suspension was made to be comfortable more than grippy and it shows, thats kind of wierd considering the 7.26.04 track time it made at the Nürburgring, which by the way is faster than any porsche you love, and only beaten by a maserati, a hardcore viper, and a few cars made only to race there, all you can do is insult or act cynical, go back to your honda civic vids and dont flame here anymore

@soupahfast The McLaren's suspension was made to be comfortable? LMAO You do realize we are talking about the McLaren F1 right? You know the previous production speed record holder from the 90s right? You are clueless beyond belief. I'm in tears laughing right now.
frambesbuckeye 1 year ago
@frambesbuckeye
still you insult and you dont know, hows about this-wiki the mclaren f1 and look at its suspension, it was made to be the ultimate "road car" which means to be driven on the road, it has double wishbone suspension that is designed to shift back when it hits a bump to further minimize the force, the result a more comfortable ride and less grip, and in my last comment i was talking about the zr1 with the track time of 7.26.04
soupahfast 1 year ago
@soupahfast So you are going to fault the F1 for simply having a double wishbone suspension. Please, we all know the McLaren would dust the ZR1 on any track, so don't go there. Regarding Nurburgring times, not every production car has even tried to put up a time there, and if they did they didn't have a factory racing driver attempt it in all cases. In the ACR's case, they did and beat the ZR1 and the ACR is by far the better car of the two.

TheDodgeChallenger 2 years ago
There's more to the ZR1 than just the engine. Its suspension is wildly different than the Z06's and that's what makes it easier to drive. The consensus of all magazine reviews have been that the ZR1 is more docile than the Z06.
IdFightMyDad 2 years ago
The only problem with that is you have a car with 700 hp that's not ment to have 700 hp. the factory squeezed everything out of that to get the Z06. you will loose much of you stability and cornering ability by S-Charging a Z06. straight line, yes! wicked fast, but give the ZR1 all day long over it.
Goontrader2 2 years ago
@TheDodgeChallenger
The ZR1 is a re-designed 6.2L LS3 with a supercharger.
Yes you can supercharge a Z06, but then you'd need upgraded brakes, tires, suspension, etc.
Bigger doesn't mean better, that LS7 + a supercharger will shift the balance of the car to the front and make its handling far different.

A car like the Nissan Sentra shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as 'Corvette.' Whoever said his Sentra is faster than most stock 'Vettes, I have a question for you. How did you come to this conclusion? Have you raced a Corvette before and won? If so, do you realize that the Corvette didn't know you were racing? Corvettes are brokenly fast. I have a 350Z and I like it, it's a fun car. But I know it'll get beat by C5s and C6s. A Sentra, even an SE-R, can't even beat a C4.

The fun comes when the passenger tries to find something to hold onto when you take off through the gears and you see their fear as they look for something to hold onto. The look in your passenger's face is worth everything. At an est. 4.5s 0-60 for the base, I would love to take a ZR1 out 3.5s 0-60. Basically, the vette is a race car made street legal & Chevy did a nice job of making it comfortable especially with 3lt opt. This puts the fun back in driving!
sidewinder5111970 2 years ago 4
coolest part of it all is the price of the car, and the decent sized motor has incredible potential for more on pump gas if the owner feels competetive. For the money there is no comparison, some will say GTR, but you can't make 850 at the wheels with that v-6 on 93 octane
redhot916spd 2 years ago 2
This is a point I try and make often when guys with turbocharged 4 cylinders pushing 20+ psi on race gas. You can make alot of power with pump gas and cubes. The Z06 has already made 1,100 rwhp on 93 octane and run 8s. The video of the 8s is here. LS3s can easily make 600+ rwhp on 93 octane all day. There are a few of those videos on here as well.

redhot916spd 2 years ago
Wow, it has been a while since I have used C-16. I agree. I am much more impressed by a fast pump gas car because you can drive it everyday and anywhere. Damn. 10 gallons of C-16 is about what you would pay for 52 gallons of 93 Octane depending on where you are.
This is why I want an LS3. They can make enough power on 93 octane to run low 10s/high 9s trapping in the mid/high 130s. That is faster than anyone outside of professional drag racing will ever go.
Marc99GT 2 years ago
there is a video on here of a z06 on 93 octane running mid 8's at 158, with some meth injected from a snow kit. If you keep up with Hot Rod pump gas drags, there are some twin turbo vipers that have also knocked down some mid 8's on 93, so much sexier than anything else out there. No GTR,No Ferrari, NO Lambo , NO Supra is remotely close when it comes to real world pump gas cars in the states.
