well that was dumb

 

[Snagged]

Holy crap, I had no idea the ZO6 was so expensive when you add on the options. I can't believe it bumps it up to $100,000.

 

[05satinGT]

I'd take the Z06 any day of the week. Impressive for the GT-R though, but damn does that shelby look good in grabber blue.

 

[ChiSVT]

Kind of a goofy comparison.

I could see comparing a Z06 to a GT-R, but weird that they opted to compare one with over $20,000 in options that does nothing for straight-line performance in a drag race.

The GT500 doesn't belong at all. Neither does that 1st to 2nd gear shift, holy hell. Make a sandwich between that shift.

They don't even tell how fast they went? Gay.

+111111. Useless comparo

Haha probably because the ETs were embarrassing.

I bet they ran like a 12.8@119mph in the GT500 and a 12.0@125nph in the Z06.

Z06 - GT500 - GT-R

So, 11.2@122, 11.8@123 and 12.4@ 115 respectively. Thats terrible.

wow you guys are fast, posted too late, I will put this on the OP

I wonder what the GT500 would be like if it had carbon fiber options like the Vette... May be a closer race. Or even if the body was fiberglass.

I kinda don't care for that video since that's a AWD Nissan to RWD...

 

[younggun04]

98,000.00 For a Z06? Isn't that what ZR1's go for?

 

[cobra_mer]

I cant stand when cars like this are compared. two cars almost 100k and 1 that is almost half their price. I should hope the 100k sports cars would win. You take the 55k car car dump 20k more into it and it will smoke the **** out of em. and you still save yourself 20+ grand.

It wouldn't be close. The GT500 has backseats with twice the space. The Corvette is a sports car, even without the CF options a base Corvette weighs roughly the same 3250lbs.

That was a very horribly slow shift from 1-2 gear, but other than that it seemed like a decent launch and run.

Other than that, those clowns will do a 10 minute burnout and heat soak the shit out of the car right before running it. :bored:

 

[GTSpartan]

That's what these cars run on a non gorilla glued track. Given that, the times don't seem so bad.



On a side not, great reading on the Randy Pobst road course run with each car. Give it a look.

GTR please!

That's for the Z07 Carbon upgrade package. Those carbon fiber disc brake rotors and magnetic ride control are costly little options!!! Couple that on top of a 3LZ package with NAV and yeah... you're almost in base price ZR1 territory!

GTR please!

Ya, especially after seeing how easy they are getting these to 1k hp.
