According to Motor Trend and Tadge Juechter, the Z06 in that comparison was not aligned properly. Subsequently, MT re-tested the car w Probst driving, and it easily beat the Nismo time around Willow. In fact, it blew the lap time out the door. C&D also is backing up that result with their own testing.

Just got back from the Texas mile/Ted ran a 169 with his 368 cu. old school zr1//oh and he missed a gear// and a GTR ran 237/both in a strong headwind Sunday///c7s were getting stomped on by c6 z06s with headers and cam/porting etc

Would that be C7 LT1's or C7 LT4's..... or both?

My buddy has both a C6 ZR1 and a C7 Z06...I understand him to say his ZR1 is a touch faster in the mile....quote from a post.......

"No worries, Jim. Although yours is not your average C4.

Stock C6 ZRs usually run 178 - 182. Mine went 180+. I don't think the new Z will consistently run that high. Recently got my ZR back from Lingenfelter - whoa nelly.My new Z is stout, but not that stout.

We need to go play some in our LPE rigs."

I gotta ride in that C6 ZR1 from Lingenfelter!

Honestly, the ZR1s we saw running in the half mile were not as impressive as I would have expected. Most ran right in the mid-150 range. Pete was right there w them and about 10mph faster than most of the ZR-1s that ran same day.

I still can't get the youtube video of that Viper walking away from the C7-Z06 seven times in a row out of my mind anytime someone starts be a GM apologist when trying to explain why the new Vette didn't perform so well.

Mike,

The Z06 is a marvelous car. I've seen the Viper video but that doesn't diminish
how good this car is. There's always someone faster. I doubt either you or I would turn down owning one given the opportunity and the money. LEt's see the Viper up against the GT3 or Nismo.
