Hope it's not a repost? I guess if we mod our G's we would have similar results? This would be good enough results for me to hold my head up high.

Why would I hold my head up high, well look what a Z06 can do to exotics!

If that is a stock C5 Z06, can you imagine how a C6 Z06 must perform

Enjoy

 

Did you guys see that Enzo in the second video......Sweet!!

 

+1 - WAY SWEET

 

That's not a stock Z06 it said it had longpipes and retuned, so it's probably pushing a decent bit more horsepower.

 

Well, got to hand it to the American muscle car attitude, the Corvette is just what the doctor ordered. Of course, at the end of the second clip, you will notice the Porsche wins that drag, but hey, can’t always win them all. THe Z06 price tag starts around $65k (Stock)....

New Corvette’s Engine Tops Rev Limit

The Daily Auto Insider

February 2005


General Motors claims in a news release that its engineers have “achieved a feat many speculated was not possible.” The new LS7 7.0-liter OHV (overhead valve) V-8 engine for the 2006 Z06 Corvette will not only achieve 500 horsepower but will be capable of running up to 7100 rpm. The previous limit was 6600 rpm in the 6.0-liter LS2, the company said.

What does this mean? Well, GM says the higher rpm allows the driver to remain in first gear to just over 60 mph, contributes to higher top speed and improves overall vehicle performance; the new Z06's sub-four-second 0-60 mph time is achieved in part by the extended rpm range and the ability to remain in first gear past 60 mph. The over-190 top speed of the Z06 is partially due to the speed capability of the engine.

The LS7 is one of the first automotive OHV production engines in the industry capable of over 7000 rpm, GM claims. Of course, GM does not add that limit is routinely exceeded by more sophisticated, overhead-camshaft engines.

Nice vids. That 350Z barely keeps up with that Vette thru 1 gear. The 2nd run wasn't even worth it. I love those new Z06's though, 11's straight from the factory.

 

close your windows and if u want to run from a roll get a turbo

 

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, they go and enhance the design even further. Quite impressive. Thanks for the info

 

you just reminded me why I'm on the list.

 

The new Z06 is a freaking monster even in Stock form. Even if an Enzo beats it by .2 second I still saved like hundred thousands of dollar.

 

A lot more than that actually. They sell for way more than MSRP and if I remember correctly, even the MSRP is > $250k.

 

They only sold a handful of Enzo's, and the MSRP was $650,000. And that means you could have 10 C6 Z06's for the price of 1 Enzo!!

 

going price for an enzo is about 1.4m if you can find one

 

On a stock motor pushing 8 psi Vortech...yes. On a built motor pushing any TT setup at 11+ psi...very close.

 

Exactly my point. Add to that the fact that not everyone can buy one, even if they have the money. You have to have owned specific previous Ferrari's in order to even "qualify".
