I was going to reply to this and then changed my mind... I'd rather think about how fun and fast I will be on the track in this car riding closely behind the Z06's (maybe not passing them) and blowing by pretty much everything else out there! Have fun Sam.

And how come only 1985 gave me credit for being the first to report 3.8 in the 0-60 category. I would have though the forum would be throwing me a party. :-)
I will still put money on the 427 Dan. Many more $$$'s on a C6 Z06!

Jan Magnussen in the C6Z at its original 'Ring test:


Not so different from other Corvette test cars, just like I stated.
Holy ****! That looks like a stock C7! Can I order that **** on mine?

Good numbers. I think the driving impressions will only continue to impress.



Haters, where are your Gods now?

I would submit that balance, grip, feel and a number of other small factors play large roles as well.

As I stated, it's funny how the Grand Sport is now being completely ignored in comparison to the C7 now that some real performance numbers have been released by GM. The comparison is now turning to GM's track-focused Z06 that starts at ~$77k.
S.
Yeah but the GS still looks way better than the Pontiac C7.

So, Sam please explain how these numbers are not accurate? Or is that smoke I smell blowing again... wait, don't answer that, I know the answer

P.S. Notice that most of those who have challenged the C7 have acknowledged the performance numbers in this thread... other than you, that is? Hanging on for dear life, aren't you

Although I say that somewhat in jest, at some point you really need to give up on trying to turn everything into something it isn't. You were screaming for numbers, now you have them and it is all too predictable that you will discount them because they prove you were overly pessimistic all along. You can make up all of the excuses you want, discount the published results, pick apart the car and stir **** all you like but you just lose credibility more and more. When you are really ready to upgrade performance wise, the good news is you don't need to wait for the C7 Z06... you can simply get a C7 Z51

Now... off to celebrate with my pom poms!
Why would I upgrade for 24 hp and slightly better performance? For the tail lights... the skinny tires...the botched rear end?? Please!

Very nice times!

Something I'm equally surprised about is that the current ZL1 camaro pulled very similar times on the same track.

Chevy has two potent vehicles in it's stable for the coming years.

Gtahl....if I'm really worried about the C7 I could buy a ZR1 tomorrow and embarrass a C7. I do want to see the Z version of the C7. Do you really thing I am tied to my GS? I could get rid of it tomorrow and not bat an eye. Just remember....there is always something and someone faster....enjoy that while you can for about a year or so!
