427 Convertible 1/4 mile times?
What kind of 1/4 mile times are these stock convertibles putting down? I'm sure someone out there knows. :cool:

You can look this stuff up yourself! I found the vert weighs 3355 and the ZO6 at 3175. The specs I found in the 1/4 only seem to be a tenth or two different. Not too much of a spread for such a heavyweight!!

There is a reason there are no times posted by any members yet, these cars are heavy weights that are not even in the same league as a Z06 when it comes to performance. :(
Not in the same league is a statement of a pretty narrow focus. By that token the Z06 is not in the same league as a ZR1 I suppose. Many Corvette drivers make up the weight delta with their own excess baggage. |
Pretty impressive performance 11.80 for a stock heavyweight.

Agreed, especially with an extra 180 pounds!

Is it ZO6 or Z06? ;) Shhhh.....some people dont know. Oh, and Merry Christmas, Big Dan. :) |
Most drivers will be in the 12.0 to 12.5. The ones that can get their 60' down will get into the 11's
|
I hope you took them out to breakfast first, sounds like they could use some "meat" in them...lol. Merry Christmas to you too Dan...

You guys are going off of GM posted times, let us see some real numbers.
Numbers posted by our members, this car has been out almost 6 months and no numbers??? The Z06 had numbers posted the first week it was out. Let's see some numbers guys, come on, prove me wrong! :lol: |

I think with its extra power, if a driver can't launch it without spinning the tires on the street, it could lose some races against the Grand Sport, which won't spin off the line as bad. :lurk: |

Show me members who have done this? :lurk:
To me it is a drivers race, both great Vettes in the end. |

12.0-12.5 is not great, considering some members are calling this a Z06 convertible. 200lbs is 2 tenths, with this thinking the car should be able to pull an 11.2- 11.4 with the right driver. Don't think so. :crazy:

I dont care how fast it is, its a killer car. :) |

If I gave you a members name and the time he turned then you would want me to provide the actual slip from the track. What is your point in all this.
To me it is a drivers race, both great Vettes in the end. Look 11.8 is quick, but some members here were saying it is basically a Z06 only in a convertible. Then this car should be doing 11.2-11.4 in the 1/4 mile as the Z06 has dipped into the 10's. 11.8 although quick, would be a big disappointment considering the hype. 200lbs is 2 tenths, where did the rest of the quickness get lost? :lurk: Sorry for my bad typing, I am on the beach in Cabo San Lucas on my ipad. :rock: |
Remember, those high 10s and low 11s are in perfect conditions.....not the norm. Good weather, good track prep and a great driver.
Most ofthen you have one or none of those. lol |

Of course we would need proof, that is why we have a fast list (eliminates bull *****)

I think they are more not into the speed but maybe more show than go, with the ability to press that loud pedal once or twice to scare the crap out of themselves. :lol: Once again, 11.8 (Have not seen a member do this yet) is quick, but the hype certain members are putting on this car suggests low, low 11's). We will not even get into it's ability on a road course, compared to a Z06) |

Okay, understand where you are coming from and I agree. I was just pointing out the 427 Vert is in itself pretty impressive.
