2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 - First Drive & Road Test Review - Motor Trend

Motortrend got an 11.5 @ 127 out of a C6Z, So it'll be nice to be able to have 2 extra seats while offering C6Z acceleration/performance. Good Job Ford!

Looking at the M/T pictures, is the Resonator Delete now standard???
Rear brakes are bigger, but single piston??? Stopped faster than a ZL1 though.. Gotta read further, and put my order in. I knew this would happen...

I know, right?! Is that even an issue with "just" 662HP? I thought HP had to be in the 4 figures before beaded wheels were needed. :shrug:

Nice review. I have Motortrend as one of my channels on Flipboard and they've had a Shelby for the last couple days driving it across the country. They also have a GTR so...

They're tweeting about it as well with pics if any of guys (and girl) do the twitter thing.

about time, huh? Its amazing how todays muscle cars put out numbers as good as sports cars/super cars.

officially monday, media embargo over! :rockon: :beer:

need to make sure I pressure my dealer this week....:lol1:


edit: found a mistake, they say 2.3 liter eaton roots, but its a TVS unit :nonono:

So what is incorrect about saying the supercharger is a 2.3 liter eaton roots? That statement is 100% accurate. It is 2.3L. It is made by Eaton, and the TVS is still classified as a roots supercharger...

That is accurate, it's a Roots Hybrid.

The cross bred child of a roots and a twin screw.

Sometimes....bastard children are a good thing. :thumbsup:

Good read. Love that blue stripped interior.

Horsepower wars insist that there are competitors fighting against one another for supremacy of who has the most powerful (fastest) vehicle. Well looks like the war has been ended as of today with Ford's SVT team striking the deadly blow to GM's performance division or whats left of it. LAWD knows GM is suicide watch

GREAT job SVT

RIP Mr. Carroll Shelby

Umm...the ZR1 and Z06 still exist. :shrug:

But yeah, the Camaro team got left in the dust.

 

[SVTSlingshot]

If the Shelby had either DRs or slicks and cool weather you think the Shelby could dip into the high 10s? I hope so cause I would have to be in the low 11s at least to beat my previous 02 SVT Lightning.
