Killed the ZO6 tonight....

[Marcmedic]

Z06 0-60 3.7 sec
GT2 0-60 3.6 sec.....cost 190,000 + (This is Porsche's fastest 0-60 car they currently produce)

I can not find any data to support your 2.9 second claim. Too bad the base Corvette turns faster lap times than half of the 911 series, let alone what the Z06 runs. As far as I can remember, there are only 2 Porsche's that can turn a faster lap time than the Z06, and one was only a tenth of a second faster. Of course every one of those is twice the price...

I didn't wreck the H2, I was having problems with the tranny. I thought a know it all like you who lives on this forum would pay better attencion.

Any pics of the damage yet?

On the site porsche shows their times in stick and about .2 seconds slower than they really are becuase hte average driver cant shift as fast as a test driver. And if you get the auto tranny with the overboost it does 3.2, yes porsches auto/tiptronic is faster than manual, weve had it clocked on our turbo and weve done 3.3 without the boost so i have no doubt whatsoever that with wait and perfect weather it would have done the 3.2 as for the 2.9 ive read it many places and say its possible with the boost it gives you an extra 2.9 psi boost and they say it iwll drop it down to 2.9 seconds. as for the lap im sure the corvette would run it faster its got a more powerful engine. but the Turbo is 4 wheel drive and handles like no other on the street.

0-60 times are useless now a days..... 1/4 mile trap speed will give you some honest info about what kind of power a car is making. Once you get to the point where traction becomes a serious issue a 0-60 measurement doesnt mean $hit in terms of overall performance,1/4mile, top speed or lap times.

Strange, every piece of data I've found on the car shows nothing near what you claim. I guess top gear, road and track, and car and driver all must have done biased tests on the car so the average driver wouldn't feel so butt hurt when they couldn't match the times. 3.4 is the fastest time I managed to find....a half a second slower than your claim. GM under respresents the Z06 also, it's actually capable of sub 2 second 0-60 times, at least that's what I heard...so it must be true

[Marcmedic]

If it handles so great, why does a base (non Z06) Corvette spank it on a road course???? 5 seconds quicker and only a hundred grand cheaper...
