They are fast...I have put 55K hard miles on mine. I have run the car w/ N2o. Done heads/cam/exhaust/cia/Hypertech program/brake upgrades. And it is a fun car. Cornering the thing rules. I have also dealt w/ a leaking tub, leaking top, at 80mph my windows whistle, tire sensors always have to be reset, the aluminum rub rails under the front bumper have to be replaced.....if you park ONCE too close to a curb. Seat bolsters wear out if you drive it more than once a month. I have the car...Im not bashing because im bias to a brand. Every car I have is a GM besides my Cobra. I bought the cobra because I was tired of makin dumb excuses when guys in Blown fox body saleens were moppin me up. I have built/owned more fast cars than most. Sure you can Put the N2o to it and run 10's. Put the same amount to a cobra and you run lower 10's. Put a blower on a Z06 and it is "off the hook" fast.....I have a friend w/ one thats putting down 900 rwhp. He also had to go through the whole engine....than the trans....than the rear. For that kind of money it better be fast.
Its not the car thats the issue though really. Its the guy that drops a bunch of money on a C5 or a Z06 and thinks ...........WHeew. Now I own the baddest car on earth. Like the title to this thread....."Z06 aint that fast". 12 seconds is getting to be common on a street car. 11 second cars can be found any given saturday night. 10 second cars are all over...this forum. If you buy the car for looks...good for you...they have alot of style. If you buy the car for braggin rights...get off your wallet and pump it up....cause for under 4k and an 03-04 cobra Ill stomp ya all day long.
