Default ZR1 vs 2015 Z06

With Zr1's running as fast as 10.2-10.4 and 133-134 traps.

1/4 maybe close stick to stick. Bets off on the auto!

The ZR1 may well end up. Losing around a track but you should able to at least count and use to compare with updated rubber. But going by the C7.

The Z06 will still win this test.

Stopping the ZR1 still should be about a tie with carbon brakes on the loaded Z06.

Should out stop the base Z06!

The ZR1 may win the top speed and 40 to XXX due to lighter with great gearing. Other factors play in too!

The down force on the new Z06 may hurt it's top speed.

The new Z06 will be amazing after getting a few hundred miles on my C7. It is way ahead of the base C-6!

It is all internet racing till the new car hits the streets!

"40 to XXX" is a pretty useless metric.

That's because they have drag radials, and thus, are not "stock".

Total joke when someone says "Not stock tires!
When they lose! Lets see if the new car beats those times with a stick!
I doubt it!


The ZR1 has **** tires and wheels with the
good tires and wheels like the new Z does make difference!
Who cares the rubber should be equal!

Yeah but you won't find any good data for that interval.
I actually still need to get my car out and get some good 60-130 pulls. I am figuring low-10's, maybe high-9's.

Not romping to hard yet with only 250 miles.
Trying to decide on a blower kit! These cars will be killer with 600
rwhp!

With that the new Z would be a waste of money for me, slower
and needs mods to keep up!


I don't worry about circle tracks times. That's a waste of time worse than all week at the strip. Just real world when
the challenge next to me comes at the right place and time.

Its not the tires that are the problem. Its the size of the wheels...

Going from 20s to 18s means the car will put more power thru the wheels to the ground. Also that combo is lighter than the stock so its no wonder it can trap 134/135 and sometimes 136..

Good luck doing 134/135 @ stock size wheel/rubber.

Lighter wheels don't account for 5mph increase....it's all wether and negative DA that are the main reason....plus anyone trying to run a best ET using 35 series tires (run flats to boot) is just pissing in the wind. It will be the same with the new Z06. Yes it will have better rubbers subjectively speaking, but trust me, slap a set of DR's and it too will pick up...nm if you got an auto, that's going to fly....
I'd say breaking distance might* be a tad longer since the car is going to be heavier BUT it has better tires, so that might null out too....
What's left is a stick to stick 30 roll to 120 and the ZR1 might come a head slightly, again, being a little bit lighter (assuming the Z doesn't click much past 3400....)
Again, my opinion is, other than at the race track, the cars should be equal (stick vs stick), and the Z06 will be faster on the race track...I don't expect a massive difference...other than the MSRP Lol

ZR1 vs. Z06

I think overall the "Z06" will win in every category. Now, when I say "Z06" I mean in total all 3 different variants they said they will market including the Z07. Having said that, the ZR1 may be faster in a straight line and top speed than say the Z07 due to the significant amount of aero for track purposes on the Z07. But then again, the ZR1 may be slower in a straight line than the base Z06, but faster around a track (weight and brakes advantage) than the base model.

Of course, this is just pure speculation.

Smaller and lighter wheel won't account for 5 mph. But apparently it would account for 3 as it is documented @ ZR1 fast list..

Threads like this kill me. Until the Z06 hits the streets, NOT one person knows which is faster in a straight line. GM has already stated that the new Z06 is faster around a track!!

Tires are faire game, perhaps draw the line at slicks, but even then, DR's won't make a "stock car" not "stock"...never heard that one before to be honest...

sure and they also tested base Z51 against the new viper and base is faster at the slalom and some other short course...you think it'll beat the viper at the Ring and longer tracks too?
some educated guesses are fun....

Personally I believe the ZR1 will have better acceleration performance as it will probably be at least 100lbs lighter than the new ZO6.
That being said, I am seriously thinking of trading in my ZR for the new ZO6.
In my opinion it looks fantastic, the interior is a huge upgrade, and the removable roof and available automatic transmission sweeten the deal even more.
I wasnt a big fan of the Stingray, as I felt the performance was not a significant jump from the Grandsport C6 and not crazy about the exterior.
The ZO6 on the other hand is a huge performance upgrade relative to the C6 ZO6 and looks positively sinister.
If the new ZO6 is reasonably priced, Im pretty sure it will replace my ZR1.
