GOD DAMN I LOVE THE NEW Z06! Well I love vette's anyway.

[AnthonyF]

best bang for the buck, i'd have to say is the 03-04 Cobra. 400hp stock. Thats my opinion tho. Numerous mods for a great hp increase with little money


btw- i never said the viper is the best car out there. Nor does any viper owner. b/c we are reasonable. vette owners are hard headed thinking their shit rules the world

I like mustangs always have, I love the sound a ford block with single chambers make. But I'm floored by the fact you can leave the show room and drive the vett strait to the track either road course or drag strip. It's a pure bread race car. And as for vett owners being "hard headed" and "think their shit rules the world" It's becouse what else for under $100,000 will out run and look as nice as the vett? I think the way they act is because of money they may have not the car. I know a lot of vett owners who do not think their "shit don't stink" they are nice guys for the most part. I also know a few viper owners who are jerks. Also you have to take into consideration how many vipers vs. vetts you see on the road. I'm sure there are viper owners that act the same way you describe. And if we saw more of them I'd bet on more of them being asses.

[Greddypacked]

Nah you see you just need to know how to talk to the assholes that's all. Just get on their level and talk their language lol.

[man]

Go watch video again , pay close attention to what cars it beat on whatttttttttt track then come back and tell everybody that there not track cars again.

See, that's the only problem with the Z06 for me, they are great on the track but horrible otherwise. I like how the video leaves out the part right after, where Clarkson specifically says "as something to live with everyday, I'd rather have bird flu."

There's no question about it being a great performer, but there's a reason it's only $70k, where as say the Ferrari is more expensive. The Ferrari can do the exact same thing, but with a beautiful body, gorgeous paint, an astounding interior, and just overall build quality in general.

Watch this video and you'll understand. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2340551138694118409

[BlkCD5]

:stupid:

Its all about build quality, but some people could care less. I do have to agree the vette has stepped up in that category

[sleepys4]

I never really like these. But this one you must admit, is a pretty nice car. Def. Best bang for the buck.

stock? not a ton, but i can put together 100+ cars that will take a huge dump on the vette. for the $ youspend on it.

That's no revelation here. $2,000 Civic + $20,000 engine or an Evo with about $15,000 would kill a Corvette, Viper, Ferrari... you name it.

Find another car that will run low 11s right off the showroom floor. How about a bone stock car with drag radials running mid 10s. I promise the price won't be near the $69,000 base price the Corvette is toting.

so what? if i spent 70k it'd better be that fucking good, and i dont mean civics, you can have cars thatlook twice as good and go twice as fast as the zo6 for the money you spend. it's a waste, completely overpriced.

hmph...says the guy with a 350z. How much do you have to spend to get that into the 11's without blowing up on its 3rd run and without having to run a 116 mix or having to retune for the drive home?

The corvette is really not overpriced. AMG's are overpriced, M's are overpriced.

The z06 is way cheaper in the competitive market for its class.

exactly, and who cares if u can " build a civic faster for cheaper"
1: it wont be reliable ( at that power level)
2: it wont be comfortable ( or as easy to drive)
3: not as stable

4: this car was designed forra specific reason (mix of speed/reliability/stability/handling/comfort/style) and for the price is worth it.

the transmission problems were fixed in 04 mid way, i've never heard of a VQ motor blowing unless the idiot didnt replace his internals and ran too much PSI. the car cost me $22, for another $40 i could be running 10's and out track and out look a zo6 no problem. i dont know where you got all these retune crap, a built motor with APS or Greddy TT can run 650 hp run a 10 second 1/4 mile and be daily driven no problem.

out looka zo6? thats an opinion- dismissed
run tens- believeable, but i dont believe it can be dded that way ( and get the gas mileage the zo6 gets)

[JustNoBody]

And to get it there you will spend almost as much as the sticker on the Z06. Not to mention the fact you bought yours used and we are comparing new cars price on the Z06. And the Z06 will always look better. And you said you can get a car twice as fast?
Z06= 11.3@127mph in th 1/4 Top speed 198 0-60 in 3.7sec

So you are telling me you can have a car that will run this:
5.65@254mph in 1/4 Top speed 396mph 0-60 1.85sec

If you know who can build this I want to know so I can buy it.

you're an idiot, and yes thats what im saying, for sticker on a zo6 you can get a better car, and halfwit you can buy a new Z for 26k 07, i bought mine used with 5k miles for 22, it's an 04, either way, my argument stands, for the $ you spend on that car you can have a car thats faster/better looking/better on the track. the only reason i would get a zo6 is if i wanted no part in modding, just wanted to have a fast, stock, car. i know people that get 19 mpg on their TT 600+ HP Z's the zo6 doesnt even compare to that. it's also american which means it aint lasting very long, it's cheaplymade.

19 mpg with 600 hp, but NOT RUNNIGN 600 WHP, TUNED DOWN TO 8 PSI YEAH THEY CAN GET 19 MPG, but not runnig at what it would take to beat a zo6

Dollar for dollar, no matter the mod... whatever you do to a 350Z, and spend the same amount on a Z06... the Z06 will always be faster.

I bet my stock Z06 would slaughter any bolt-on 350Z out there. I'd be willing to bet it'd even pull on a Supercharged 350Z.

[Ericp]

I agree with what people are saying that you could spend half of the money on a cheaper car to beat the new Z06. However it would probably be only in a straight line and not reliable. Plus think about it, you spent what 20+K to beat a STOCK Z06. You know you can mod those to right???? I wish people would leave the whole "if this car had that" game alone. It goes both ways and it's a never ending arguement.

My money is on you. Any takers ???

you have a v8 with near 500 hp, full bolt on V6 Z's are lucky to pull 300 whp

a properly supercharged Z would beat you, with a proper drive stage 4 stillen Z's run mid 12's. at a low 8-9 psi on a stock block.

and if you think that for $60,000 i couldnt make a faster Z than a stock z06, then you're just missing a few brain cells, if i had 40 thousand extra dollars to spend on speed upgrades and i couldnt get 500 whp then id have to be a worthless human being, hell for that much $ i could drop a v8 in a z and turbo/supercharge THAT, where's your head at?

[Hundo®]

what a big man you are arguing like a 5 year old. name calling, shit i feel like im in 3rd grade.

i meant ot call him a smart ass since i was obviously exagerating TWICE as fast as a zo6, he had to put up numbers like i was 100% serious that there would be a top speed car of 398 mph -.-

Sadly you won't get the Z to handle anywhere near as well and dollar for dollar out of the box it has the 350z beat.

Then technically under the 1976 Magnuson Moss act you should be covered but good luck trying to get any warranty work done on a Z that heavily modified, you'll get laughed at.

SPEEDMINDED-always full of wisdom. :) i feel smarter already.



just end the discussion. to prove who has the faster car, get your asses to whoreslounge, call each other out, do whatever you gotta do. we've past the line of trying to talk this shit out. ITS DONE. let it go.

I could get a used c5 zo6 then it would be dollar for dollar and beat the handling,top speep,1/4 mile of the 350 z and if yall don't believe that, get your money out. iloveboost has already said bring them on . WOULD'NT STAND A CHANCE IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!

whoa whoa.. lol just came across this thread

The comparison? There isn't ONE! The Z06 is geared for top end and the 350Z isn't simply put. I raced a C5 Z06 in my Twin Turbo G35,

Side note: Generally TT VQ vs Supercharged VQ the TT will win

I shifted twice while the Z06 stayed in one gear, I barely won one pull and got my doors blown off on another. I actually have a video of a Supercharged Z vs. a Z06 and the 350Z did suprisingly well but it still lost, its not built for high horsepower.. all you get is wheel spin and a broken transmission.

Once you spend all the money and the headaches you realize you could have had a C6 Z06 with the same or better performance with a warranty.

Exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for stating my exact opinion.

[tony]

No problem, you'll notice in the video that the Supercharged 350Z does well when he's actually in gear but when he has to shift its all over, the Z06 is gone. I'm not sure what the redline on the Z06 is but on a blown Z its around 6800rpm's and it comes up QUICK.. so you do a lot of shifting.

[_Christian_]

you cant find a faster car for the money stock for stock. plus you ave a warranty to go with it. it is reliable at 500hp, plus its a real sports car not some hopped up rice burner. + u can get mad p00n with that car. and if you guys wanna talk mods, you can do one hell of a lot with 7liters of displacement. oh and on the video fast food ftmfw.
