Re: New Z06
I think it's understood that there is ALWAYS somebody who is faster.
EDRAM only mentions the McClaren as being faster than the C7 ZO6, stating "Compared to the other cars racing, turbo porsche carreras, mclaren P??, vipers and various other cars bmws, fox body stangs etc.. it held up quite well." Looks like it did well against the rest of the field.
About the youtube video against the Viper. Sounds like the Viper takes it in a rolling start drag race but can't best the C7 ZO6 on the track.
For the C7 ZO6 money, name one production car that can beat all others in all venues of performance, road course, 1/4 mile drag & autocross, etc.
Just to season the mix, how about the variables, IF all else was equal.... driver, tires & modifications (including tune)?
It's really hard to make an apples to apples comparison for all venues and variables. To each his own, but for me, I will look to road racing as the venue the Corvette is engineered for and the sanctioned results.
