I will do an acceleration simulation on all of the so-called "moderate supercars of 2006," starting with this one.

With a better bhp/t, serious question. How did the 992 GT3 turn nearly a minute faster around the ring?

According to Automobilismo, the Z06 (C6) could do a quartermile in just under 11.1 seconds. In fact, 400m in 11.04s.

why wasn't this added?

It is amazing how today's M3 coupe (er, M4) can keep up with an old Z06!

Delete the picture about rhe race car!

This car USED to weigh 3131 lb as a matter of fact, but in the later years it would be heavier assuming the magazines have ordered options, etc, that made the car heavier. The heaviest I found for a C6Z was 3320 lb.

Wtf does that have to do with anything?

Some cars have independant times some dont, Simple as that.

But the 10.98 time has not yet been published officially on this site!

Stop posting old as hell news, Its everyday i swear.

This might not be a confirmed magazine run, but the C6Z, to be honest, is almost automatically a 10-second car:

No, @saxy but the 0-110mph/0-180kph time sure wasn't listed!

You know that acceleration is not linear right? Assuming you know what linear means

0-180 kph = half 0-100 mph (7.6 s)/half 0-120 mph (10.4 s) = 0-110 mph: 9.0 s

0-200 kph = half 0-120 mph (9.3 s)/half 0-130 mph (11.0 s) = 0-125 mph: 10.15 s

130Bhp more, and 700Lbs lighter has its advantage weither you want to bring up tyres and tech or not.

It isn't that amazing that it beat an f1 considering the f40 from 1987 smashed both

tires are a lot less durable now and a much stickier. That's the difference of a lot. Plus the F1 had no downforce and too much power to corner.

Can This Car Beat The Porsche 997 Turbo in Straight Line ?.

Its Very Impressive That The Corvette Z06 Beat The McLaren F1 on The Tsukuba.

Wait, this Corvette C6 Z06 beat a McLaren F1 on Tsukuba???!!! That's really impressive!!!!!! 8O

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT BEAT THE F1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

But it did! ;D

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT BEAT THE F1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Apathy
Can't really go wrong with either a GS or Z06, as long as your first mod is a tire swap. Seriously, the Goodyears on the C6Z and GS are crap for the track. Frankly, I'm amazed the Z06 did so well in skidpad tests and such in magazines.

I'd say go with the Grand Sport. It's easier, less expensive and less risky to mod, and you can get a better deal on a low-mileage example. The only reason I bought a Z06 was because I knew the guy who was selling it and I got the "friend rate". But stock for stock, it's almost impossible to beat a clean used C6Z.

But whatever you do, don't pull the trigger until after the C7 is officially on the market. When that happens, it's pretty much guaranteed that C6 values are going to drop like rocks and dealers will practically be giving them away, though the 427 Vert will likely retain its value better than anything else. I mean, you can already get relatively low-mile(under 10k)ZR1's for less than $80k, so just imagine the deals you could get on a Grand Sport once Stingrays are on the street.
