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

@SClassFinalFlash Sure you do.

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.

@thevettedude66 And with a cam, headers, and exhaust on the zr1 youll have 800 horsepower.

[Camaromandave98]

I would take the z06 hands down, change of tires, heads/cam and more potential with the 7.0L.

Not to mention that insane exhaust note.

[drumbuster859]

@jgsmitty14 people say its better for racing because the zr1 doesnt have good enough suspension to support 638hp...

[testermanish]

Put the same tires on the Z06 and it will handle just as nicely.

[jgsmitty14]

the new z06 is only three seconds slower than the zr1 on the ring and its only 505 hp

[jgsmitty14]

@NWpowerhouse85 hahahahahahah funny as shit but so true

[ZR1Terror]

Z06's are awesome, WTF is this guy talking about??

[IrishChris1979]

@thevettedude66

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 :)

[logan8490]

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

Its funny how the seats move around when driving a Corvette.
