Motor Trend ran a [email protected]........ 0-60 in 3.7sec.... 1.02g on skidpad.

Bone stock 2006 Chevy Corvette Z06

Numbers are from the latest issue of MT

Similar numbers are being reported from other sources as well.

I wish I had 68K for one of these bad boy's:

that's very cheap for something that fast. nice.

Actually, it looks like it'll be closer to 78K, but those are World-Class performance numbers.

Here's a comparision to what numbers some "Supercars" are putting up:

11.5 sec bone stock car.... wow thats something i would want to work with....i think i could very well be a low 9 sec car with some modifications. thats crazy

Making power is easy - getting the tires/suspension to 'hook up' is another.

It's like the old joke:

What's the difference between a 400 HP and an 800 HP car?

About a 1/2 a second in the 1/4 mile.

well of course....no power is good if you have no grip...i just said modifications, that could entail everything from engine to type of gas.

I'm sure these guys will come up with a package:

They did a twin-turbo C5 a while back that was a monster!

 

[Derek Flint]

Actually, the 06 Z06 will list for around 65K and should come in optioned out for around 68K

Amazing that the The General was able to put a car like this together for under 70K!

oh my god a twin turbo on a zo6....a couple of big fat sticky tires, racing fuel and you could probably do the quarter in....well im not going to say but very very fast.

This vette is incredible. I heard it was the 2nd fastest street car w/ street tires around Nurburging. 1st fastest was the porsche carerra gt at $550k.....this vette is almost as fast as a street bike in the 1/4 mile..i think the dealers will be marking them up just like the Ford GT.

I saw the Nurburgring numbers posted on another forum.

I'll see if I can find them.

Good call, here's the numbers:

"His official time? A staggering 7 minutes 42 seconds. That’s two seconds faster than a Pagani Zonda S. Eight seconds faster than a Lamborghini Murciélago. Ten seconds faster than a McLaren Merc SLR. In fact only the $441,000 Porsche Carrera GT – at 7 minutes 32 seconds – is quicker."

Z06's have always been incredible cars, which isint suprising considering how close they are to the GT1 cars Corvette races in the Le Mans series.
