But yes my opinions are outdated, that is why I said this To be honest, the C6 does nothing for me but the C7 Z06 is intriguing... Last edited by ///M3AN; 02-14-2014 at 01:45 PM.. |

You sort of did. You said they were slow in the corners.
The c6 z06 is fast everywhere on the track. With a good driver they are always the fastest at hpde and are very capable. Plus the magnetic ride shocks rival anything anyone from Germany has |

I hate corvettes for some reason but they look awesome in the vid. Wow.

I am not sure if this was posted on this forum yet, but take a closer look at the competition seats and engine bay

It is a little disappointing that GM did not design the competition seats with a pass thru to accommodate a 5 or 6 point harness.
I guess you will have to just swap out the seat for a fixed bucket. |

Honestly, for me, I think the new viper holds a pretty good argument to the c7 z06.

Maybe as a pure track car... but even then I bet the Z06 is faster everywhere and in most, if not all, measureable ways. Having said that, the Viper is a great car too... not my cup of tea but I understand the attraction for some.

I love how keyboard warriors talk about these cars as if they drive 10/10ths on the track. From what I've seen, very few people do.
First learn to be a good driver using a car such as a BRZ or a Miata. Understand the driving line first and then once you master speed & handling these cars on any given track......then MOVE ON UP. Getting a Z06 and hitting the track right off the box means you'll be chicken shit for the most part when driving on track with most smaller and slower cars dominating you on HPDE's. With great power comes great responsibility Keep in mind that most sports cars today have so many electronic nannies that inhibit or mask your mistakes. Train yourself at a HPDE with NO ABS, TC etc, then check back and start talking about 500hp/500TQ upgrades..... I will always respect someone who can drive an old school viper/vette/exige (with no ABS/TC etc) at the absolute limit and ropes in a fast lap. That's real driving. |
