Proof is in the Pudding...

C6 Z06 vs Jeep SRT8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35Ghj...eature=related

On the street with no prep the jeep will still have the same 60' while the vette cries for traction.

 

That was the saddest race I have ever seen.

I seem to also recall a video that showed a C6 Z06 getting demolished on the autobahn by a WRX STI. Granted he was short shifting it at 4k rpm but hey it was on the internet and that must make it fact.

I have raced full size turbo diesel chevy trucks putting out 700 lt lbs in the Z that can keep up till about 70. When my second gear gets going it is over at that point. Since 70 comes just past 1-2 shift and 0-60 is probably closer to 3.5 seconds, are you saying that the jeep will beat you from a dig for the first 3-4 seconds? That doesn't seem like a very exciting race to me. A high power auto is always going to be slightly faster off the line, but I would not waste my time with a 4 second race since it is pointless. I'm seeing high 12's low 13's from stock jeeps. Not slow, but CERTAINLY not grounds to say any vette should watch out.

The fastest c5 z06 and c6 z06s in the country stock are running mid 11's and lower and some c6s have probably broken 10s by now. Any way you cut it these cars are 1-2 seconds faster in the quarter mile, which you might think still isn't really that far. If you think that only a second or two isn't a big deal, it is like racing a manual 3.42 coupe or convertible Corvette against my Acura CL-S V6. At the bigger gap 2 seconds is like a year in 1/4 times. This doesn't even get into Zr-1s which will mop the floor with the jeep in the 1/4. New vettes also have launch control for "bad drivers" like the one pictured in your video.

I just think it is stupid to make a comment that "ANY" corvette needs to watch out for a Jeep unless it is on the autobahn. I ran an srt8 charger up until I hit 160 miles an hour and it was flat out embarrassing. Big heavy bricks tend to slow down as they speed up. I'm not taking credit away from quick vehicles, I just have an issue with the mindset that ALL Corvettes run the same, when they are very different. Frankly my new Cornvertible will get smoked by my Z06, and they are both Corvettes.

 

Age is just a number. If I already own a house, vette, viper and am married whats the difference between you and I? Were talking cars here and I was just giving my insight as I owned and SRT. Your right im the market chrysler was focusing on. I put my suit on during the week and the weekends I like to dress more freely. Don't get off track from the main subject

 

If I was up for racing them, I suppose I could answer part of your question.

2002 Corvette Convertible LS1 A4 3:15
2010 Camaro 2SS L99 A6

Two different animals... Corvette is a sports car. Camaro is a muscle car. Corvette is light and nimble. Camaro is heavy and not as agile. Stock, the Camaro has 50 HP on the Vette, but my SOTP feel is that the Vette would take the Camaro. Anything but a straight line and the Corvette will win hands down. If you're looking for attention, you want to be in the Camaro (at least until there are a bazillion out there, aka Mustangs).

 

how much do camaro weigh anyway???

 

Quick Google... 3,857-pound curb weight. I think there is a slight difference between the L99 and the LS3.

Edit:

Manual - 3,860-pound curb weight
Auto - 3,913-pound curb weight

She's not light!

 

i don't know how old you are or what "generation" you are from but i bet you dressed very differently when you were young, its just the way things are now,i am young( though i don't quite dress like him) and i don't dress a certain way because i am trying to be cool, its because this is what my generation dresses like,or at least here where i am from they do. i dress like other my age just as i bet you did when you were young and that does not have anything to be with cool its just the way things are done now days

and how does any of that represent what is wrong with america?

 

Wow the new camaro used to be called a pony car. Now it is more like a hippo car.

 

Watch first hand a srt8 beat a c6 auto alot had to do with driver and traction, if stock do not take them lightly!!

 

I ran an SRT8 at the track with my TrailBlazer SS and he ran a 13.2.

 

That's what my brain keeps telling my 61-year old body, but for some reason it just doesn't want to cooperate.

 

lol

 

nice

 

I don't personally worry about many jeeps, from a stop or not, but they are quick

 

Saw a brand new yellow Camaro SS with black stripes yesterday. good looking car.

In regards to the jeep srt8... my comparison is only relevant when you pull up against one at a light on the street not the track. Just be aware that they can pull 12's whether it be perfect conditions or a sand covered road with rain.

 

i had a jeep srt8 and of the show room floor it did pretty good t the track.

Not to call your bluff (no disrespect intended btw), but in this pic, you look more like a guy leaning on his dad's or uncle's viper and ready to go to work as a cell phone or car salesmen. Again, nothing wrong with that.

 

Absolutely nothing, except instead of a viper I bought another Vette, Denali and Boat

BTW that picture is just exactly like the other picture, it makes you look like you are trying to "fit in". If I'm in the Viper people will expect a suit, if I'm in the SRT8 people expect a gangsta, can we see your Corvette costume?

BTW you will not find me Leaning on my car taking pictures. I would not dream of messing the paint up

 

So if you didn't dress like that you would be what?

How does following social pressures to fit in and be normal so that you will feel comfortable, in any way not represent what is wrong with America? Almost every issue we face has roots in social constructs. If we had more "kids" that were free thinkers and didn't have their parents follow them to college and their jobs we would be much better off. Ultimately the baby boomers caused this to happen, through greed that fueled dual income families and a total lack of time for parenting, couple that with increased selfishness from long work hours and your result is a generation of kids that looked towards peers for acceptance, because mom and dad weren't there and largely did not care.

I'm 28 BTW, and yes I dress exactly the same now as when I was a kid. Jeans and a T-shirt. I have some t-shirts which are ten years old too. I like what I like and don't give a DAMN what anyone thinks

 

So a Z06 stock running 11.5 should look out right? Didn't that just make my point for me?
