Another turn at bat for the Z. Make room for a Nismo....

Great, another roll on race done by amateurs......

I'll wait for an "official" testing thanks.

Maybe they will do the Figure 8 Competition.

Or a blower test...

Cut to 30 pages later - 200 Rustang and Fatcat jokes, and all the cries of how the Z06 would smoke these Heavy muscle cars on a track even though ironically it lost to the heavier less powerful GTR on a track.

Not sure if I can do another 300 post thread. Emotionally it's too demanding.

It's always good for laughs here

well factor in that it was a Z07 (not the best on the track) and a 7 speed and I would like to know what setting RP had it in and I bet the 3 second difference would be on the positive side for the Z.

Wait, wut?

too much drag on the straights with that drag chute of a rear spoiler. Get the lightest Z with CCB and an 8 speed auto, use the optimum settings and I guarantee you that the times would be different.....for the better. Tell me you think I'm wrong.

now lets question Randys driving...

According to post over at svt by Scorch, the video should be up tonight.

I'm thinking you might be a professional bench racer. Because that configuration of Z06 doesn't even exist. The CCB cars are all Z07 cars, it is part of that package.

Also, at our track rental day, the fastest trap speed for a Z06 just happened to be a Z07 package car. Member "cdubb" in the white Z07 was faster than the silver base model Z06. Same track, same day.

Hellcat was the slowest car. Viper was the fastest.

*Raises hand.....

That "drag chute", as you refer to it, is responsible for 80% of the cars downforce. Removing it would make the car even more prone to oversteer, ultimately resulting in slower lap times.

And I don't think the auto trans is going to make up more than a tenth or two at most. Especially with a professional road racer.

I'm not trying to pile on, I'm just illustrating a point.

First it was that we needed to get an A8 Z07 for the best times. Now it's a Z06. I don't think anyone is ever going to be satisfied with a test because there is always going to be an excuse. I personally enjoyed the person that said that the car was delivered with new front tires, but worn bald rear tires, which is why it didn't do well.
