I'm not sure where the rumour of same to 100 and 150 as the Z06 started?
It has the same or similar 0-60 (as traction is the limiting factor), braking and skidpad results, no surprise there. The latter two are similar to the GS as well. Beyond 0-60 though is a different story.

Bull. C7Z has posted much faster 1/2 and especially 1 mile than the C6 Z06. It also had faster 1/2 mile than the C6 ZR1 and matched it @ 1 mile...

Even using the slowest ZR1 test vs the fastest Z06 test like you did, its 60-100 in 3.4 vs 3.8 seconds, not close at all. And 60-127 in 8.1 for the Z06 vs 60-131 in 7.9 for the ZR1.
Like i said the results are similar to 60 because of traction, but beyond that they are two different cars, even when you cherry pick test results

Fixed it for for you, and since you're using the fastest Z06 test to date its fair to use the same for the ZR1 too.

lol "conveniently" leaving out the zero to 150 as well as ignoring the faster ZR1 test that wasnt in 93 degree heat.
Even using the slowest ZR1 test vs the fastest Z06 test like you did, its 60-100 in 3.4 vs 3.8 seconds, not close at all. And 60-127 in 8.1 for the Z06 vs 60-131 in 7.9 for the ZR1.

I'm not saying the ZR1 is not faster then the Z06. With 100 more HP and $32,000 more it better be faster. You're right that to 150 is where they get separated. My point is for real world/street driving where we never will see 150 you don't have that much separation as you do to 100 with the McLaren 720 and Porsche GT2rs where they get there in 5.2 and 5.5 seconds which is where I was hoping the ZR1 would be instead of low to mid 6's

you are incorrect. Car and driver December 2008 posted a zero to 150 on the c6 z06 At 17.3 seconds a half second quicker then the m7 c7z06 they recorded in 2015. And the c6zr1’s in that same December 2008 issue posted 16.4 seconds to 150 better then 2 seconds quicker the the m7 or a8 c7 z06’s. A c7z06 will pull a c6z06 by a car length or 2 up to 120 mph. Then the c7z06 will get walked on past 120 mph by the c6z06 and will fall short 8 to 10mph of the c6z06’s top speed.

Ignoring stop lights, an A8 ZR1 accelerates comparable to the likes of 570s, 488, huracan and much faster than 911 Turbo S, AMG GT-R, Nismo GTR but nowhere near a 720 or GT2rs (which you'll almost never see in real world driving either).
yeah the price bump is a fair bit over a Z06, a chunk of it is because of the "mandatory" exposed carbon fiber parts that are optional on a Z06. Overall it still punches well above its price point and puts the C7 in a league which the Z06 did not reach.

gizmos quoted numbers are correct lol, where the real world differences lie are that the c6z was manual only so those test numbers he quoted arent as consistent IRL.

Fastest bone stock C7 Z06 has gone 158.7mph @ standing 1/2 mile. How fast is a C6 Z06 @ standing 1/2 mile? Answer is...much slower. So is the C6 ZR1... You know thats a result from people going out and driving their cars vs magazine racing like yourself.

Too bad that it doesn't have the A10 transmission option that the Camaro ZL1 has, all auto magazine writers talk highly about it.

I knew that the Porsche GT2RS was going to beat the ZR1, but had high expectations for the Corvette. Somewhere I read that GM already had reach the high limit of the FE chassis, and it was the reason why they moved on with the ME C8 to to keep competing with the exotic european sport cars.

This is speed trace of the run out of Oak Tree at VIR. The blue line is the C7 ZR1 and the red line is the C7 Z06. Ambient for the ZR1 was 82F. Ambient for the Z06 was 59F.
As you can see they are pretty even through 2nd gear (~90 MPH) but after that the ZR1 starts walking away.

i am sorry I hurt your feelings. You seem like a very sensative and delicate individual that upsets easily about this very socially important topic. I will go look at the fast lists and reflect on your vast racing expertise. Now let’s return to topic zr1 vs Porsche gt2
