[QUOTE="McRat, post: 437144, member: 4984"] I should have run 2-3 tenths quicker, but I wasn't used to the car. The Z has 3 advantages that help make up for it's lack of HP: 1) Weight. 3080lbs with 1/2 a tank. It is over 200lbs lighter than a Viper and just about the lightest Vette ever made. 2) Gearing. While the Viper, F-body, Cobra, and Vette share the same T-56, the Z06 has a special build with different ratios. The first and second (third?) gears are lower than the other T-56's and give it more RWTQ for the first 1/8 mi. 3) Aerodynamics. While the Z06 is not the most slippery vette (the coupe is), it still has a .31? CD, and require less HP to accelerate after 70mph than most cars. But the only thing that matters in the end, is who wins. Too much HP is never enough! [/QUOTE]
