Can we outhandle a 2004 z06?

Like the title says, I got a friend who just got one and I got him in the turns and I couldn't believe it. Of course he got me in the straight.

I think you just answered your own question.

i dont think you can really conclude that.... driver skill plays a huge part.

lol no f'n way.

No...
A Z06's handling is comparable to the 911.
It pulls close to 1.0g but our cars are just about 0.86g

Yeah he was probably not use to the car yet. Hate to say it but G35 is not even in the same class.

In the right hands, a Z06 will tear our cars apart. *In the right hands*. I understand that they are a handful to drive at the limit.

z06 > g35

There's probably a greater difference between the Z06 and the g35 than there is between a G35 and a Camry.

very true!

Come on guys...give the G coupe more credit than that. With good shocks and sway bars you can get the G coupe close to 95g. With superior suspension work...you can get anywhere from 98g-103g. Oh yeah...the correct tires are needed to get these numbers and it does not have to be slicks. This is fact not fiction!!

Once you start comparing cars that aren't stock, the comparison kinda loses it's purpose. If you modded out the Vette, you could put 315's at all 4 corners and build the suspension to probably be much much better than a modded out G35... and I bet the Vette could pull like 1.2G or more.

One of my best friends has a '99 Camaro that he has dumped a good 20 grand into(about half of that into the motor and drivetrain), and that thing is just a Camaro but pulls some serious lateral G's with 315's on 17x11 inch rims all around and an awesome suspension setup. Not a chance in hell my G could ever fit tires even close to that size all around without serious body fabwork.

Yes...but if you are comparing a pure sports car with a luxury coupe, its only fair to make the playing field even. BTW..my G sits on 305 x 25 x 20 and I m getting over 1g
