Shouldn't take much to spank one of these beotches!

So, does the Vette feel as good as a 911? That’s hard to say, because we didn’t have a Porsche on hand for comparison, but the gap has certainly narrowed. With the Vette’s increased power, the 911 is, however, now even more likely to be staring at the American car’s taillights. The new Vette runs from 0 to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 12.4 seconds at 116 mph, compared with 4.3 seconds and 12.8 seconds at 109 mph for the 911. We tested three of the last-gen Vette coupes, and the quickest did the 60-mph run in 4.1 seconds and the quarter in 12.6 seconds at 114 mph.

:cool:
 
If the 08 Z/06 cant do it than the 09(late 08) ZR1 will! Thats a SC 6.2 in pretty much the C6R that Jay Leno had built for him that will be coming out.

Really now? I could care less about what ever Porsche comes out with. They have to make the thing AWD because your average "more money than brains" buyer will loup it around the nearest lightpole with just rear engine/RWD. The older non-AWD ones just scare me when I see them on the track. It's very hard to drive one fast and consistent. The C6 on the other hand was made to be driven hard and fast.
 
ummmmm Porsche's don't do very well at drag strips :eek: most leave on a car carrier up here .. never make it threw a whole night ... Vette's on the other hand are plentiful and they do take a pretty good beating.. DRIVER's def make a BIG difference :biggrin:
 
one thing people over look. the vette is not designed for drag racing go ahead & line the Buick up against the vette & throw a turn in there for good measure, then see what car is the daddy. don't get me wrong I have both, hell I had to buy the wife the vette because her GN was to quick. BUT her & I both agree the vette is nicer to drive. the only problem when your in the vette everyone wants to race you.

Those results sound like they came out of motor trend magazine. They usually have terrible 1/4 mile times.

I have seen posts about the current Z06 running high tens bone stock with the right driver.
 
I had a kid earlier this year in a new Z06 with the paper plate still in the back window line up with me at the track. He looked all of 20 years old with Daddys checkbook. I smoked him out the hole with a 1.6 60 ft...he had a 2.4 60ft.:eek: But sorry to say when he hooked up he FLEW by me and trapped at 122 mph! I was only running 11.8 /110 mph at the time. I didnt know I had a wiped cam but now I am rebuilding my engine and I am going to look for him next time at the track. I got something for him.;)

Can you say roller cam and 6776DBB:eek: :cool:
 
Ranger runs a 10.9 something at MIR on 11/06 in "427" Z06

Yes I was at that track rental when a Z06 broke into the 10's, there where 2 maybe 3 Z06's there that day and the track was only running one lane which pissed me off because I wanted to run/victimize :D a few of those Z06's. All I could muster from my unleaded/dual alky "109" with a flaring 2 to 3 shifting trans was a 10.15 at 21/22 psi of boost on a foot brake launch.
I asked the Z06 guys to let me know the next time they were having a rental and never heard back.:confused:

Edit: it was a 10.98 or a 10.89, I am not sure it's been awhile but in any case I wanted one (BAD).

Both are just awesome. Apples and oranges.... But a twin turbo kit on the 08 Z06 would be wicked!
 
I thought I just read a Viper Vs. 08 Z06 article that they both were running 11.5's pretty much??

Supercharged Z07 ( I thought it was going to be named ) but anyways, that's just not fair. :( :eek: But I would want one. :biggrin:
 
hte new LS3 vettes with 6 speed trans are running 12.5's STOCK.. with headers, intake and tune they are dipping into the 11's..
