On a positive note - the blue looks very nice.

All joking aside - the driver I think it's fair to say is a little suspect - skillz-wize lol...

There are people more bored then I've been accused of here!

Was the z06 driver racing?

CosmosMpower

Thanks, we're gonna take some weight out of it in the winter. Still currently about 3,250. 2,900 and another 50 hp would be nice. It's fast in the corners just need a bit more oomph in the straights.

NineBall

Yeah, I know both of these guys on Facebook. Two pals, good sports about the outcome. No aliens or tin-foil hats involved. Could this be the new norm?

I'm still trying to line up some more runs this weekend, maybe even a roadcourse battle between my TA and a Z07.

johnglenntwo

With a Merro driving the Vette wins, guaranteed!

Destrukt

Wow, that shelby at 700rwhp and heavy as a pig. It missed 4th gear and still beat the new Z06...

Destrukt

NineBall you should start a new thread for the new video

thegame

Please tell me that Z driver is the worst driver in the world.

NineBall

You can. If I start another loss thread here, people will just accuse me of having these videos scripted, that the driver sucked, that the car was in Eco mode, etc... I don't want to be the one who answers all the accusations again.

VNAMVET

Takes off at 59 mph in 3rd gear.........? Then shifts to neutral at over 100 mph?
He did look happy though, as well as his passenger. I guess ignorance IS bliss.

TARANTULA

Agree starting in third gear on a 60MPH roll.

NineBall

Blue Z06 driver confirmed with me that he started in 3rd gear at 60. Ughh, why even bother racing then? No wonder it looked so bad. 200 miles on the car.

Hint to C7Z owners: Start in 2nd gear at 60 mph.

I'm surprised at the bolt-on viper staying door to door with the 800rwhp viper.

I wouldn't mind if the new Z gotten beat by an edge, but this is a blow away! I'm not paying over 100K for a car that can't even hold its own against one of its chief competitors. The viper is a great car but come on. Its not even a race!

I'll wait before I put in my order for a new Z, I want to see how this whole thing eventually works out. If the new Z gets toasted by a 4000 lb. Hellcat, then forget it, all bets are off. The car's a toad.

TaylorMade

A month ago all this talk about how much power and torque the new Z made right off idle you would have thought he'd kept up starting in 7th gear lol.

Destrukt

Haha! I don't want to get blamed either!

"Houston, we've got a problem...". That's two Z06s who haven't won a race yet, and it's gone viral. The problem is, they're both from Houston!

All joking aside, that blue looked freaking nice. I've yet to find a color I didn't like on the new Z06.

sam90lx

Trying.....

CosmosMpower

I'll volunteer to drive one of them at COTA for the cause
