Default 0-60

just got a message from a friend with a viper who was talking about the c6 z06, and said "maybe this one will get 0-60 in the low 4's"

i thought the '02 thru '04 z06's were in the low 4's? where can i find out for sure?

You can find out from me. I have done 0-60 in 4.1 with nothing more than a Vortex Rammer. And I am definitely no "pro". 12.3 sec at 117 in the quarter.

I find many Viper people in denial. What can you do? Nothing.

There is a good website (which I have forgot) that stated GM people with a stock Z06 were capable of 3.9 sec. Hopefully somebody will know the link. All publicity states 4.0( 0-60.) I can't afford tires yet to try it, the launch is the key.

Try high 3s! 427/515 h/p @ 3000lbs.=11.50@127.00 mph! This is 99% official. The car looks cool except for the glass hatch. No matter the price high 60s they all will SELL!

I've managed a couple of 4.3's in mine, and that's considering mine's the SLOW 01' . So the new will definitely be in the 3's, without a doubt. I'm sure Ranger has already been there done that. Who knows he might get into the 2's with his driving skills.

Show your bud the December 2001 issue of Car and Driver. They test a 2002 Z and get 4.0 secs. I respect them more than most other car mags.
