Very thorough analysis. Z06 wins out on handling, braking, and performance on a race track, while falling a bit behind on straight line acceleration, due primarily to traction problems at the low end (unless perhaps you’re very good at rolling into the throttle and react quickly to the feedback—I know, I have one) and downforce at the big end. BUT bang for the buck? Z06 by a mile!

WHAT? On every single road course - 11 total the Z06 is faster and on some by a considerable margin. MNo question the Z06 is faster where it counts!

Awesome German drive train does more with less bhp/ton even at speeds too high for awd to be a factor.

Bragging about a 2 ton brick going around a track? Lol

You probably right.

Probably still 10 times better in handling than "muscle-cars" traditionally were.

No i mean people say the hellcat is crappy when it comes to track. Which i believe is true.....don't get me wrong i love the car.

...Who brags about a Hellcat round a track?..


User avatar

tharne  9y ago

People do brag about track cars. Example the Challenger hellcat. Some people say take it around the corner and you are done.....

...Who buys a car and brags about track cred?.. lol

I'd certainly take the Zone hands down, it's more my kind of car.

About the driving position, my RX7 and R34 are both RHD, naturally, my only problem is I'm right handed...-_- and would rather shift with my right, but I'm used to it and as far as I no there aren't any LHD R34 or Spirit Rs, so solution? ...MHD..middle hand drive. ...................

Certainly. But faster around the track, and ultimate peaky but snappy cornering don't make a car "better" on the track. Granted the Z06 is an awesome car (when it's actually running properly).

I'd have the z51 package Vette please. And I will buy one as soon as they sell in right hand drive =.=

But then again how often is track credibility the ultimate bragging rights?

R8 is good on straight line. Z06 beats it on track though.

R8 is the best car. The stats are insane.
