Default C7 Z06 vs Mercedes GT-R

This is fun....
https://youtu.be/qmrrD8cFY8I

From Corvette Mike..
“If you read the car magazines, you will see article after article about how good the German cars are and how fast they are. The Corvette does get good press but is still under appreciated.

Well here is more proof that a Chevrolet Corvette can hold its own on any track and against all comers; foreign and domestic.

To prove this once more, the folks at Sport Auto have pitted a C7 Z06 against a 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R in a split screen video. To help the Mercedes out, they handicapped the Corvette with a manual transmission, but even this did not keep the Z06 from triumph.

For those of you that don’t know about the GT R, it costs $157,000 (base price without options), is a front engine, two-seater, dual-clutch automatic transmission, active rear steering, 4L AMG twin-turbo V-8 (577hp & 520lb-ft) and active aerodynamics that can lower the car 1.6 inches.”

Pretty interesting. And I have a good friend that just made that jump. He had a pristine (talk about anal) white 2017 Z06 A8, not Z07, and just sold it to buy a medium gray AMG GT. His initial impression was that the car is spectacular and very complex. I need to show him this.

What makes the GT-R amazing is that it is giving away about 70hp and 120lbft.
to the Z06.

Keep in mind the Z06 is handicapped with a manual transmission. Performance would be even better with the auto.

I’m certainly a Mercedes fan, especially with my background. However I still feel the Z06 is the better performance value.
