Default Z06 vs R8 vs 911t s vs I8

The z06 is the slowest among the 911 and the r8. Around the track and in the straight line. Also they have said the z's gearbox in real life is not faster than the 911's as the GM claims

Track times:
z06 -1m 53,5 sec
r8 -1m 49,6 sec
911 -1m 49,7 sec

0- 250kmh(155mph)
z- 21,4 sec
r8 -17 sec
911 -16,9 sec

I remember, 12-13 years ago they tested the s600(biturbo) w220
It did 0-250 kmh in 25 seconds. And the 2016 z does it in 21
This car is a failure.

Being a person who didn't buy the C7 you come across as a troll. If that old benz, 911 or r8 is a better car you should go jerk guys off on those forums

Like any troll you use one source, other sources have the Z on top. I looked at your previous topics & yes you're a troll. I'd guess you drive a honda & just like to run your mouth

I knew I would be wasting my time viewing this thread. Oh well.
Go ahead, continue starting new threads putting the Z06 down.... Or you can find something more useful to do with your life.

What to you expect for $80,000 (ha ha)? Track times are relevant to a "racer" (and the A8 Z 06 is not a race car as the heat issue has been belabored ad nauseum and the reality is you never see a supercharged race car), but it has shown itself to be a good dragster. As for top speed, few if any here will ever see it and if they do , once or twice under very special circumstances, so top speed is an "ego trip", not driver experience.

The Z 06 is relatively inexpensive and all it takes, as in my case, is a few thousand more dollars to get 700+ rwhp, which now makes the car competitive with those you mention (at a much lower cost).

Importantly, at least to me, there is the "subjective". For example, I bought a Ferrari over a Mclaren (Mclaren is faster) because it "feels" better, i.e. the driving experience is enhanced. I sold a Twin Turbo Porsche and bought a Z 06 because the Porsche was "boring" (very fast, but boring), and find the Z 06 engaging. Different strokes and different criteria for all of us. Best

Oh look, Mr. Brooks managed to find something that supports his well known, well documented anti-C7Z bias and he wants us all to see it.

Ok.

Thank you Mr. Brooks, and please come again.

What a phecking tool.

Ok. So?

BTW, do you currently have any cool cars belonging to other people you'd like to post pics of and claim as your own? You haven't done that for a while.

I believe all the "reaction" is due to the last sentence of Mr. Brooks,
"This car is a failure".

My suggestion going forward - state the article and everyone can chime in as to drivers, conditions, vehicle characteristics, etc. The "fun" part of "car guys", is we all have opinions about everything, so no need for gasoline. Best

No - some of us (many, actually) know full well Mr. Brooks' history here.

And it truly is the source of some fine entertainment.

Its not fast in the straight line and still slower than the competitors on the track.
I hope ,GM will fix this when it gets a mid-cycle facelift. 2 much downforce.

U guys are just mad that the z06 is an overrated car.
Why did they claim that the corvette's gearbox is faster than the 911's pdk if its not the truth? This is a shame.
And not only its slower, but its also much dumber.As this magazine says.
Also GM swears that this is a track car. Ok, but why is it so slower than these 2? 4 seconds difference!! Its not a joke.
