I recall this did happen, but the DA was close to negative 2k, and great driver and ideal track conditions. The 6.1 has had stock hero runs as low a 12.5, but that should not be taken as 'expected' performance.....:liar:
The C6Z will do 10's with drag radials. I have seen it a few times. It will take a driver lots of pratice to launch the Z for a 10 sec run. Its usually a 10.9X run a 126-128mph. My best is 11.3x...as I dont drive the car much.
I am a owner of a 06Z. Currently looking for a SRT-2 from a 09 to a 2011. Looing for the best deal on a loaded M6 Black crystal car.
Yeah, that's a C5 Z06. You can tell by the door handles and the shape of the side mirror. As a former 3x Corvette owner who now owns a Challenger, I love both Vettes and Challengers.
BUT a new Z06 would eat a 392 for lunch. Those things pull low-11s mid-120s in the quarter mile bone stock.
But, again the C5 Z06 was no slouch with 3,100 pounds and 385 (for 2001) or 405 (02-04) horsepower. So, it's nice to see that the 392's can run with them.
Well.....As far as the ZO6 is concerned and as far as this topic goes, I want to make one thing perfectly clear. From my stand point, I like Corvette's. But....the only thing that this car will do better than my Challenger is on a race track. And that's fine with me. If I really cared that much any more about absolute power then I would have a Viper. In saying that, the ZO6 and ZR1 are two of the top performer's that will shut down most of the foreign import high powered rides.
I am with you there. I traded a 2007 vette for my challenger because I needed 4 seats. I will have a viper for my next car or a Z06 (used viper or Z06) can't afford new. I am loving the American cars right now like back in the 70's when I grew up. we have cars today, mustang, camaro, challengers and vettes that are faster and better than their 60's/70's counterparts and can run with or beat most of the import exotics. go USA!!
I agree. Though I don't think the C5Z is too uncomfortable, but it is harder to get in and out of it. The seats in the C5Z are pretty weak compared to SRT8 seats.
I don't doubt it's red, but its the wrong color red. The red shown was a factory color for the base C5. I was originally thinking it may have been the overcast but am fairly confident that is not the case. The Torch Red is much more prominent than shown in the video even with overcast conditions.
