Now you can spout off all day about how great they are but you are forgetting about the maintenace which is about 10 times per whata Z is, plus all the bull you have to go thru to get one. I am not a millionaire, but even if I was, I would get the Z. Just for the simple fact that when I buy a performance car, the first thing it has to do is perform! And I can get world class performance for a fraction of the cost and maintenance with a new Z. hey look, I just gave a economics class.
And if you want a true performance car, why not rip out the interior, it will give you better performance. Obviously we are two differnt people. You just want a car to be the fastest so you can brag that you have the fastest thing out there. Most other people on the other hand want to enjoy there cars with great performance, and they would like to do so in a nice interior with and amazingly beautiful styling. How many people turn there heads to see a corvette, 1 out of 10? 10 out of 10 people turn there heads to get a look at a lamborghini becasue it is that beautiful. And have you ever heard a Lamborghini at 8000 RPM? It is the most amazing sound you will ever hear. And it is cool to go out in a lamborghini and just cruise knowing that someone spent hours out of there life to make one part of your car. Not some machine stitching your seat or hydroforming your frame. As i said before 2 differnt sides of the spectrum.

And while all you are beginning to say the corvette will out perform the Lambo, obviously none of you have driven one, or even the new Z. Comeon lets chime in here, how many people have ran into a lamborghini on the streets with ther C6 Z06?
Even the gallardo will probably beat the Z in most catagories, maybe not straight line performance that lasts less then 12 seconds on most occasions, but there is more to life then those first 60 mph and 1320 ft. The gallardo tops out at 200 mph +, and still can handle turns on the highways upwards of 170, doing this very stabley. and if you dont believe me, there is video proof of this 200 mph gallardo run.
And another thing about the lambo is that it is made much better then any corvette ever. They are all handbuilt with the highest quiality materials and machines with some of the best workers in the car world.
And for you who will start that thing about the lambos being 8 times more expensive and the vette still keeps up with it, i agree. The vette is a world class sports car, but its not a lamborghini. And there are those of you who say that if you mod a z06 it will kill the lambo, your probably right, until the lambo starts to mod back.Then it will be a different story. There is a twin supercharged lambo puttin 700 to the ground and still raping t-88 supras on the highway.(more video proof) And the highway is the Supras favorite place.
The corvette (any current model) is no match for any current lamborghini right now. No matter how you look at it, the corvette will always be second to lamborghini, unless GM decides to step up the quality and stops mass producing them.

You people are delusional, the C6 Z06 is gonna make both lambos look like the overweight sleds that they. Neither one has a power to weigh ratio advantage over the C6 Z06.

All the reliability talk is nonesense. Lambo makes a handful of cars, which don't see any real life miles mostly. Corvettes do. They take a beating and keep on going. A lot of vettes are sunday cars too but there is a good amount of daily drivers out there.

That being said, it's still one hell of a bargain! Not a bad lookn' car, either.

What's wrong with bragging about our cars? It's an absolute sports car tradition - and part of the fun!
Especially, when a 'lowly' Domestic car is as fast as the new Z06 is going too be. The car has everything a Supercar needs - horsepower, handling, big brakes, light weight, and grip. All for $65,000.
Euro car fans (and some of my fellow Viper owners) had better start working on their excuses now, because this new 'it's still just a Chevy' is going to kick some serious a$$.
