Yea pretty interesting just for us car lovers sake.

But not much truth to the Z06 numbers because we already know stock C6 ZR1s can't out accelerate A8 Z06's to 100kph as demonstrated in this video.
No debate there.
And based on GM's numbers they don't out accelerate well driven M7 C7 Z06's to 100kph either.

But the question remains why did the Z06 shift out of first at 4500ish RPM??

Good points -- small differences from 0 to 100 kph and 200kph and the c7z may have a slight edge-- on up to 180 mph - The zr1 is ahead by 11 seconds -- probably a 1/4 mile out front.

My buddy has an old Supra that runs 8's. It has an equally shitty interior. I can smoke him on a road course though.

Let’s level the playing field by comparing it to a Stage 1 aero MN7 Z06 and see those numbers again
