What a horrible review... Yah im sure it doesnt have as much "pull" as an F1 car but its still damn fast. The brakes actually are fine and could easily handle another 200 horsepower. It sounds to me that she didn't even do her homework before driving this car. She got in it, felt that it didnt have enough "pull" and dismissed it as a weak car.
hahah the guy from fifth gear damn near came in his pants ith this car and he always degrades american.... she doesnt know shit....you cant match all the cars next to F1 race cars Danika
Yea just two weeks ago he puchased a set of 4 goodyear all season tires. they were all weather non run flats. I does ride much better. I like black the best too. Did you get the black wheels too? Also the interior of the C6 is 10X's better than the C5. Was your C5 a auto or manual?
There's some strangeness in this video: she says that the Z06 doesn't have an impressive acceleration...How can this be possible?I mean,there are many videos with Z06s beating almost every supercar in acceleration,so where's the truth?
Wow, strong words from a less than average open wheel race car driver. The funny thing is, everyone else that has test driven the Z06 has said the complete opposite of what she said! Not everything can pull like a Indy car.
hahaha completly agree with you. The only person that didnt like it was jeremy clarkson from top gear. Thats only because he hates america. But even Tiff Nedele named it the nest fast car of 2007.
Actually, not true, Clarkson did like it he just didn't suck GM's dick over it - he criticised the ride - too noisy and hard, and it is. He called the radio crap and it is. He said the largely plastic interior was poor for the price and it is. He said the leaf sprung rear suspension was out of the ark and it is. Apart from that he really liked it. He doesn't hate America - that's just your own dumb insecurity - he owned a Ford GT for god's sake. And Tiff gave the Z the award in 06 not 07.
In a documentary Clarkson said the chassis was designed by lotus,the brakes are some other manufacture as well as alot of other components in which make up the underside of the gt are all made by other companies. The only MAJOR components ford designed were the engine and body.And many people would complain if tiff gave the Z a award one year and not another.And new cars come out quite often so a better car than the Z is bound to come out sooner or later.
I am not insecure.Clarkson just steryotypes all americans as fat dumb people.Not everyone is that way.And yes the Z06 has its flaws but lookat the price..You get what you pay for.I just dont feel he gave the car as much credit as everyone else is giving it.Thats all
me off
I had to use 2 comment boxes because they cut me off.
The point is that many yanks, especially on these boards, discount everything he (and any other non US commentator) says because "they hate America" have you ever considered that it might just be because they think US product is crap? Clarkson is a journalist first and he plys to his audience - taking the piss out of America plays well to his audience because America provides us with so much ammunition. It's all tongue in cheek and meant to be amusing - which to most people it is, lighten up!!!
" taking the piss out of America plays well to his audience because America provides us with so much ammunition" I dont understand what you mean by that. I am only 15 so i dont have all the political figures down pat if you know what I mean. But everything else you said I agree with.
Take it as a form of flattery - think of the way you take the piss out of your mates, it's a laugh right? you don't take the piss out of the people who hate - you ignore them. If you wnat to see some "ammunition", take a look at the vids on here of the top gear road trip from Florida to New Orleans especially the Alabama section; it's taking the piss at its finest LOL. By the way I drive an 07 Z06. Peace.
How was it? My dad has a C5 ccoupe and I am trying to convince him to trade it in for a Z06. I hate the normal corvette. He doesnt want the Z06 because of the terrible ride. He uses his car everyday, so it wouldnt be a weekend car. But hey take advantage of the terrible american economy while you can. lol. But Alabama is probly the worst part of the country. I live in New York. Totaly different. What color Z06?
"if it had 100 more hp then it would need bigger brakes" what??????????? it already has humongous brakes, she didn't say much more than stutter a lot. women....go figure
I should expect that you should have revved it sooner and more aggressively. That would have been more fun. (in other words, you LIFTED,Danica!) And too soon. Such a shame.
Hmm. She my be a talented race car driver but it is amazing too me how off her critique of the zo6 was. i mean a 600 Hp car, that does 0-60 in 3.7 and gets 28 miles too the gallon with a curb weight lighter than a porche and its weak?? hmm
this car dynos 450 wheel horse... and weighs less then a lot of cars on the road. I think with the right cam I have seen result of 550 rear wheel. How much more do want for a street car?
i think she probably realises its not an indy car 69gearsnatcha and 1meanz28, shes a hell of a driver, which is why honda f1 are looking at her. she didnt bash the lp640 like this budget rocket!
no, I don't feel hurt or whatnot by the comments around here, just baffled by the sheer violence of some who would just go all out insulting the girl. I don't have a problem with chevrolet, actually I don't give a heck about brands when it's all about performance.
I think the main problem is that she didn't use the best words to make herself understood, thus making her sound way off. She sounded too radical when all she ment was that she wasn't impressed. Still no reason for all the insulting.
i have nothing against danica patrick but i dont think she really no's what shes talking about. This motor is NOT WEAK and it pulls hard and vettes have all the low end torque.
WTF? ZO6 is bad ass! I'm sorry it's not an indy race car. Oh that's why everything feels slow to her. I would like to see her test drive the new ZR1 vette. Then I wonder what she would have to say next.
lol the acceleration was probably slow to her because she probably shifted the car at 4 grand and not winding it out cuz she knows that fucker will let loose and she'll be fighting the steering will lol.
you have to consider she drives formula cars so it isnt fair to compare street cars to race cars. And maybe she is right, and Chevy ought to fix the problem! Good work Danica.
Balls-eata-SR Sounds like you are putting to much emotion into the comment section of Youtube. I dont have a vette, nor do I have stock in GM. My point was about Danicas perception of the car was opposite of every review I have heard or read. I would have made the same comment if she was hired by GM and was making a obvious fake statement about a honda. So. If your going to be bothered by the comments poeple leave about the videos, then maybe you shouldnt read them.
She ruined her credibility with this assessment. She's not a creative liar. She attacked one of the most obvious assets of the car, its enormous power. She did this because she's sponsored by Honda. Honda doesn't even make a car that competes with the Z06, so it was rather useless. But now we her opinion is for sale. It's a Shame.
oh Jesus, youtube experts please... Explain me this : why would she bash the corvette "for honda" (as you implied) if honda doesn't even have a car directly in competition with the z06 ? Come on -_- It's kind of sad and baffling to see you all go mad about her expressing what *she* felt about the car. Do you all drive Vettes ? Are you all shareholders at chevy ? Bah.
no not everybody here drives a vette but i mean come on this has nothing to do with honda vs chevy. but you know how is the car weak when it can accelerate 0-60 in 3.7 seconds thats super quick. And what do you have a problem with chevy because i dont im a chevy guy all the way.
Humm, Danica ... not much low end torque? If nearly 500 ft-lbs across the whole rev range isn't low end torque I don't know what is! LOL! Maybe the acceleration is just deceiving on that track.
why? Only don't speak that she has won thanks to strategy. Strategy a race part. And Dan Wheldon win Indy500 2005 thanks to fuel strategy and many other driver won race thanks to fuel strategy. No fuel, no win.
I love how she doesn't compare any of the cars to the lambo LP640 she tested, she kept saying the dodge is bad over the bumps but the corvette was good. she is just retarded. but the lambo is GREAT!
BOTTOM END TORQUE!? Fuck, this broad literally doesn't know what the fuck shes talking about. Just listen to her vocabulary, and how she describes the car.
Shes a driver, thats it! That doesn't mean she knows anything about cars.
:D i like her. what would you expect from a 7 liter engine? i'd expect to rip my head off. but only americans can extract 505 bhp from 7 litters, when everyone else does this from 4.5 L upwards. you all blame her but i'm almost sure neither of you drove a proper racing car, and you say she has no clue about cars, but she drives in IRL. come on get real. you're all a little frustrated i'd say.
Um... What European car that costs $75,000 (Price of an 2008 M3) can reach 0-175 miles per hour in one gear? That's right.. Not even a V12 Aston Martin.
they use it because it's cheap and easy to manafacture, they use really cheap interior materials too and try to use old tech wherever possible,like plastic and leaf spring to keep the price down
what efficiency? HP/displacement? Fuel efficiency?
when did GM win LeMans where fuel efficiency wins races?? I talk about the top class
The LS3 is 7.0L but it's still one of the lightest high hp engines produced. No other car has a 500hp with out a gas guzzler tax. The Corvettes interior is completely plush leather. So 'I guess you want to argue about which leather is the best. lol
netdriller is a douche. the rest of the world uses forced induction to boost their hp while chevrolet has always been naturally aspirated (except for the upcoming zr1)
FACT: The chevy small block is the most used engine around the world in automotive history, PERIOD. Look it up retard.
Another Fact: the zo6 beat the pagani zonda around the nurburg ring. and whats the price difference between those 2? Take your pretentious european ass out of this american website
yah thats complete bullshit....that car can do 0-60 in 3.6 even 3.5 ive read before...And it goes 200 mph.Not only that it can lap the nurburgring faster than a pagani zonda s! Shes an idot if she thinks this car which is the 2nd most powerful engine ever made by Gm has no power like wtf
and also, as an owner of a Ducati s4rs monster, i can pretty much blow the doors off of any 4 wheel cage, so yeah, acceleration wise, i feel that even corvettes are a bit slow
well, remember, Danica's indy car is significantly more powerful and significantly faster than that z06. If she's used to razor sharp race cars, then of course a road legal car, which is essentially a compromise between performance and comfort.
She comes across as a real dunce. Umm Uhh Umm Umm... Just goes to prove you can't make a woman happy. What a completely retarded assessment of the ultimate sports car.
only americans themselves go ga-ga over it, in other parts of the world only the engine and the bang-for-the-buck is the only positive things going for it
shes a bitch...saying the Z06 is weak...thats bullshit...150 in 17.5 secs is not slow...i swear if she drives the new ZR1 and critisizes tht car also...she belongs off the air!
yea i agree just waith fro that new ZR-1 that is coming out and we will see wat the fuck that bitch says...imen ive been in a lingenfelter corvette twin turbo and i mean damm they are fuking fast
good point... i can't say for sure, but i seriously doubt she's used to driving anything like the z06. her review appears to be totally based on her personal opinion rather than the cars actual performance potential. if the driver's familiar with it, the z06 is hard to beat. the z06 has proven this in every test thrown it's way, be it slalom, skidpad, 0-60, braking, top speed, etc. it even whooped ass at nurburing with a 7:43. killer car.
pretty girls shouldnt talk, the idiot giving the interview should ask a nasa astronaut how the acceleration feels compared to the space shuttle, there both douche bags
dude, much respect to her, EITHER way. But mark these words... if she'd never raced or been in a Race car, shed have shit her pants in that car. All other brands aside.
she drives formula1 i seen her race shes right up there with the top guyz sorry you dont like girls shes just giving you her opinion on that type of vehicle the car she normally drive is 3x faster educate before you judge danger59
Worst interview ever. Z06 accelleration is weak? Maybe compared to a turbo F1 car. I can't believe I thought she was going to say something intelligent.
Odd this. She clearly is not used to cars set for european roads. She states that the porsche feels unbalanced when under throttle, despite the fact the new prosche 911 is said to be one of the most balanced cars ever produced.
The new ZR1 is going to kill everything, and it's the cheapest car on the planet with Ceremic Brakes. It'll cost $70,000 less than the 911 GT3RS. You can buy it and a Cayenne to tow it.
If you're an american rooting AGAINST American cars, go fucking kill yourself.
Guys, compared to the 911 GT3 RS , the Z06 is like a fat lady.
On Top Gear The 911 beat cars like the Zonda, Murcielago and Koeniggsegg ( cars with 600+ HP) ,and the 911 only has 380HP , but it is the best handling car on the market.
I like to think that this is not representative of the way Danica describes handling characteristics to her team/engineering crew. If it is, then God help them!
No. No...It just can't be. She's a pro. Right!? Maybe she just felt awkward that day, like she felt preassure to give an opinion..
yeah the c6 z06 doesnt have enough power, YEAH RIGHT shes just sayin that to make it look like thats why she wasnt able to get around the track fast enough wha a dumb broad
meh honestly she does know what shes talking about
Of course the zo6 is fast with that engine but compare their brakes to that of Porsche's. Furthermore, the handling is good, but look at the size and practicallity. There are many cars that handle better despite being much more practical
I have no idea what the hell she is talking about, I have been a few c6 Z-06's and they are animal, she is the only critic I have ever that has mentioned "low end torque" not being prevalent in the c6 Z. Go home and park it lady.
First off, she is not comparing prices here, just the car. And if you have driven the vette...and other high end cars, you would realize she is correct. If you have actually driven a Z06, and no other fast cars, well, you would think she is off base, because you have nothing to compare the car to.
Are you joking me, I own a Corvete Z-51 c6, with 10 grand in mods, puts down 440rwhp. I have beat Ferrari F-430's like they were standing still and the same with the Lambo Gallardo, and if you know anything about winning races, torque is king. The Z has plenty..
And one more thing, My mods, (4.10 gears, 1.75 kooks headers,x-pipe,route 66 cat back,
vortex ram air, Fast 90 intake ported, comp cam 228/232, 575/588 113LSA, Afr dual Springs, and tuned to perfection.) Here is the kicker the C-6 Z is the only car that has beat me on the 1/4 mile, and torque down low.
Sounds like your cars performance may just be what Danika was expecting out of the car she drove. I bet yours would kick ass compared to the "stock" one she drove. I don't want to argue, The Vette Kicks ass !! No doubt. and it's the only car we (USA) can depend on to win races at Lemans.
You are Accurate my friend. Go USA.. Too bad there aren't any real challengers at the Lemans except for another C6R. They dominated the series for years.
What we need is. The Ford GT, Vette, Viper, and Saleen S7 to all compete..Give Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, and Aston Martin some real competition.
We need a better presence than just 2 Corvette's and a Ferrari 430 team out of Houston. We make the toughest, loudest, Meanest looking cars in the world. We need to get them out there. I will start a fund raiser. every one send me 10 grand. (The Lambo is pretty mean looking i have to admit, in Black)
What is she smoking? What car on this planet in the same price range can match this performance? The porsche TT? Viper? M6? Lamborghini Galardo? Lp640? F-430 Ferrari? It has smoked some of the best exotics in every video I have seen on you tube. It has no torque down low, LMAO. Ranger did 10.8@129mph on the 1/4 mile bone stock for the exception of drag radials.
danica you right,GM listen a litle litle more power maybe a 535 bhp for this super super car is simple to take the bullshit viper whit 600bhp run similar that the Z06 this car is increible
get this bitch off the air...i have driven one of these and shes saying it doesnt have the power she thought it would...that thing has great power and great accel...she doesnt know her ass from her elbow..what a bitch...hating on the Z06...doesnt have great accel...u mean to tell me that 0-60 in 3.7 secs isnt great accel?..plzzz
What a horrible review... Yah im sure it doesnt have as much "pull" as an F1 car but its still damn fast. The brakes actually are fine and could easily handle another 200 horsepower. It sounds to me that she didn't even do her homework before driving this car. She got in it, felt that it didnt have enough "pull" and dismissed it as a weak car.

But then again,Nurburgring lap times speek louder than Danica Patrick.
If you can't fell 500+ hp your ass is asleep.

:D i like her. what would you expect from a 7 liter engine? i'd expect to rip my head off. but only americans can extract 505 bhp from 7 litters, when everyone else does this from 4.5 L upwards. you all blame her but i'm almost sure neither of you drove a proper racing car, and you say she has no clue about cars, but she drives in IRL. come on get real. you're all a little frustrated i'd say.

Everyone else uses DOHC engines.
GM uses OHV engines. The 7L LS7 is unmatched when it comes to efficiency

"is unmatched when it comes to efficiency"
Um... What European car that costs $75,000 (Price of an 2008 M3) can reach 0-175 miles per hour in one gear? That's right.. Not even a V12 Aston Martin.
theoldspicestuff 3 years ago
I know. I was giving GM a compliment. I own a C6 Z06.
averyr18 3 years ago
Oh haha. It's kind of hard whether or not you were being serious over the internet. Anyways...
Do you think your C6Z06 could beat a E46 BMW ///M3 modded by a professional tuner? Just curious.
theoldspicestuff 3 years ago
that's because if any manafacturer in Europe had produced the Z06 they'd go out of business in a few months
people don't just buy a supercar for impressive numbers at the dragstrip
who needs to go 0-175mph in one gear with a supercar anyway? too lazy to change gears??
Metallicakicksbutt 3 years ago 3
The Z06 posted the 5th best time at the Nurburgring, so I guess it does more than going fast in a straight line. lol
averyr18 3 years ago
they use it because it's cheap and easy to manafacture, they use really cheap interior materials too and try to use old tech wherever possible,like plastic and leaf spring to keep the price down
what efficiency? HP/displacement? Fuel efficiency?
when did GM win LeMans where fuel efficiency wins races?? I talk about the top class
Metallicakicksbutt 3 years ago 4
How about Hp/lb?
The LS3 is 7.0L but it's still one of the lightest high hp engines produced. No other car has a 500hp with out a gas guzzler tax. The Corvettes interior is completely plush leather. So 'I guess you want to argue about which leather is the best. lol
averyr18 3 years ago
netdriller is a douche. the rest of the world uses forced induction to boost their hp while chevrolet has always been naturally aspirated (except for the upcoming zr1)
FACT: The chevy small block is the most used engine around the world in automotive history, PERIOD. Look it up retard.
Another Fact: the zo6 beat the pagani zonda around the nurburg ring. and whats the price difference between those 2? Take your pretentious european ass out of this american website

good point... i can't say for sure, but i seriously doubt she's used to driving anything like the z06. her review appears to be totally based on her personal opinion rather than the cars actual performance potential. if the driver's familiar with it, the z06 is hard to beat. the z06 has proven this in every test thrown it's way, be it slalom, skidpad, 0-60, braking, top speed, etc. it even whooped ass at nurburing with a 7:43. killer car.

The new ZR1 is going to kill everything, and it's the cheapest car on the planet with Ceremic Brakes. It'll cost $70,000 less than the 911 GT3RS. You can buy it and a Cayenne to tow it.

AlexDeLarge90 3 years ago
Guys, compared to the 911 GT3 RS , the Z06 is like a fat lady.
On Top Gear The 911 beat cars like the Zonda, Murcielago and Koeniggsegg ( cars with 600+ HP) ,and the 911 only has 380HP , but it is the best handling car on the market.

I like to think that this is not representative of the way Danica describes handling characteristics to her team/engineering crew. If it is, then God help them!

Of course the zo6 is fast with that engine but compare their brakes to that of Porsche's. Furthermore, the handling is good, but look at the size and practicallity. There are many cars that handle better despite being much more practical

welcome2try 4 years ago
The way she talks about the Z, you would think she would be more accurate in her assessment of this magnificent bargain. She is totally off base.
welcome2try 4 years ago
First off, she is not comparing prices here, just the car. And if you have driven the vette...and other high end cars, you would realize she is correct. If you have actually driven a Z06, and no other fast cars, well, you would think she is off base, because you have nothing to compare the car to.
phelan34 4 years ago
Are you joking me, I own a Corvete Z-51 c6, with 10 grand in mods, puts down 440rwhp. I have beat Ferrari F-430's like they were standing still and the same with the Lambo Gallardo, and if you know anything about winning races, torque is king. The Z has plenty..
welcome2try 4 years ago
And one more thing, My mods, (4.10 gears, 1.75 kooks headers,x-pipe,route 66 cat back,
vortex ram air, Fast 90 intake ported, comp cam 228/232, 575/588 113LSA, Afr dual Springs, and tuned to perfection.) Here is the kicker the C-6 Z is the only car that has beat me on the 1/4 mile, and torque down low.
welcome2try 4 years ago
Sounds like your cars performance may just be what Danika was expecting out of the car she drove. I bet yours would kick ass compared to the "stock" one she drove. I don't want to argue, The Vette Kicks ass !! No doubt. and it's the only car we (USA) can depend on to win races at Lemans.
phelan34 4 years ago
You are Accurate my friend. Go USA.. Too bad there aren't any real challengers at the Lemans except for another C6R. They dominated the series for years.
welcome2try 4 years ago
What we need is. The Ford GT, Vette, Viper, and Saleen S7 to all compete..Give Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, and Aston Martin some real competition.
We need a better presence than just 2 Corvette's and a Ferrari 430 team out of Houston. We make the toughest, loudest, Meanest looking cars in the world. We need to get them out there. I will start a fund raiser. every one send me 10 grand. (The Lambo is pretty mean looking i have to admit, in Black)
