New Z06 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

bobbyhi · 10-24-2005

Did anyone see the Z06 being tested on the Speed Channel over the weekend. What an awesome car!! I can see why people are lining up to purchase. A real "snake killer". I love my Z but I think maybe there might be a new King of the Hill. Only time will tell. I don't mean to be sacreligious by saying that...Only my opinion.

I saw the show. WOW, it is mean. I told my wife, that is going to be my next car (in the garage next to the ZR1)

She didn't think that was too funny since I just bought the ZR1 last week

The only way it will be the new KOTH is if it takes the same records we did, the same way we did.

I agree - Still the King until the records are broken!

Well we all know that the hand built pushrod 427 will never have the endurance to break the ZR-1 records, the only thing it will break is itself (JIMO) so why don;t we just call her "QUEEN OF THE HILL"--QOTH-- tempermental, fragile and emotional just like a woman!!!

I know we are all ZR-1 lovers here but she (new ZO6) has a bowtie just like the ZR-1, for christ sakes the same blood courses through her veins! Besides, I sat in one... and turned on the engine and even gave it a lil slap of the throttle at my buddies chevy dealership... Holy fuk stick is this thing is mean as hell... and i was just SITTING in it. I like how you can just tell there is something different by looking at it. It just sits totally different than the standard. Thats why I love the look of the ZR-1 so much because it has a different stance than the base model. The old ZO6 in my opinion didnt sit differently, sure it looked different and hung alittle lower but it just didnt STAND out like this monster does... and the 12 inches looks ALOT bigger in the back than 11 for some reason... Anyways what I am saying is, I think this thing would kick the hell out of a ZR-1 in any contest and I am a ZR-1 LOVER!!! Just my not so humble opinion. The dealership is Mike Daughtery and they have 2 right now! Both 20k over MSRP.

I just can't wait to see what LPE has in store for it, could you imagine a freakin TT version?
