I'm just saying that if you need a cacophony to test your driving mettle (distractions, etc) there's other ways to go about doing it.

I also don't see any Z06 owners putting solid engine mounts in their cars, or stripping out sound deadening, etc. To me, that says they aren't actually full-on hardcore; they just want bits and pieces of it. A true visceral experience would be like an Aerial Atom with straight pipes.

I was on MM stingray list for a year and ended up taking delivery Sept 20, 2020. Put my deposit down that day for an anticipated Z06. Took delivery of the Z06 June 2023, trading the Stingray. Put a deposit down for the Eray with MM roughly l13 months ago, currently 200 or so on their list. Not sure if the Eray will be faster/quicker than the Z06, heck I’m not even sure that the Stingray is faster/quicker than the Z. All that matters is it feels like it and more importantly sounds like it is. From all that I have heard I can’t imagine wanting to trade the Z for an Eray, Plaid, Cybertruck or Lucid or any other EV under 200K.

Originally thought I’d drive the Z for 6 months or so, get the Eray, drive them both for a bit and sell the one that was least desirable. Now with finding out that you can’t sell the Eray for 6 months without voiding the warranty to the buyer and not being able to buy future any Chevrolet desirable future variants (ZR1), I’m strongly considering getting the Eray deposit back.

What is the purpose of this post? Does it have something to do with the 60-130 mph times vs. Z06 or that the 6-month imposed warranty time by GM is the same for both?

With the amount of tq being produced by the ERay it should be close to a 120mph. Look at the 1/4 mile times GM put out, ERay has better ET, C8Z has better mph. The 0-60 wasn't that much different and neither was the 1/4 between the two cars.

Would love to see (or do it myself) drone footage of a 1/4 mile race and a 60-130 between the 2 cars. To see where the cars are during the tests

23/C8Z

real world that is going to be huge.

Go watch he savagegeese video if it. Pretty sure on the never accurate 0 to 60 timer the car went 2.3. Although we know they are never accurate I have yet to see any other C8 come close to that figure on that counter.


18:25 mark or so. Holy cow.

123sugey

Still can’t wait to see a 1/4 mile race never mind a 60-130 with drone footage, dragy and Go Pro’s on the cars 😉

60-130 metrics along with road couse or "Ring" times make for fine internet chatter and provide substrate for the auto press but have very little meaning for guys who do not track. The 1% or less who do frequent a place like Laguna Seca or similar may have serious interest in those metrics.

The one at 1:25 looked even better, lol. It'll be fun to see some real data as others have stated.

23/C8Z

I missed that holy cow x2

Shinobi'sZ

Yeah it would be good to see some Dragy data from a dead stop on flat ground. People do their best using the car's system, but the times that are quicker seem to be a product of people going slightly down hill lol.

Haha, nobody ever takes a picture of their accomplishment to share with the world and it be skewed to get more attention…they’re all legit!

from a dig the ERAY would destroy the z06 on the street .

zero chance for any RWD car to hang with low 2s 0-60.. best I can get on street with my Z is 2.8s ..from a roll I would bet the Eray pulls a Z based on the trq down low and the instant acceleration...

I bought the Z for the sound of the engine .. If I want to drive a EV monster I have my plaid.. I will tell you I enjoy driving the Vette over the plaid

Great post !! So … from a dig until what mph will the Z be behind ? That’s one of my questions I hope to see answered. Look at the E and Z in the 1/4 mile from what Chevy has to say. The E is .1 than the Z but 3 mph less in trap speed.

PRE-Z06

1/8 mile slip of E-Ray will be telling, need an owner to make a pass while still cool as shouldn’t be any other real variables of driving involved. On the street I’d bet on the E-Ray every time, unless it’s a 1/2 mile race.

123sugey

It looks that way on the street for 1/4 mile. How about @ 1500’ ?!? What car is where then 😉
Side note: nobody has mentioned if the launch control on the E is the same as the Stingray
Second note: with enough launch practices for the Z with adjustable launch rpm’s and slip …. How much of a difference if perfected ?

PRE-Z06

I assumed E-Ray launch control is the same non adjustable as SR, is that not true? Adjustable launch control could make a difference depending on the setting, but how many times does one need to dial it in? AWD is definitely a benefit from a dig on unprepped surface and the E-Ray’s forte, but I thought roll racing is more popular these days amongst those that don’t go to an actual track.

123sugey

Not sure if they changed LC on the E
Good point on how many times it take to dial in the launch.
I still rather do the dig races but highway runs are fun

I traded my C8 in on a Plaid and was the first person to take delivery in NorCal...or at least that's what the Tesla Service Center told me in their particular area. I found the Plaid to be a lot of fun, but also soulless and less inspiring in the looks department, the interior was also very sub par compared to other vehicles I have owned. I ended up trading in on an Jeep 4xE lol. ERay for the win.

St!ngray

The Plaid will always win, the issues with people here are silence vs sound of the ICE. My preference Always is the silence and the instant launch.
The plaid will jump ahead of the E-RAY by maybe a fender or less then the E-RAY will be right there with it. Talking about non track mode.

To answer the question about doing 60 mph then stopping on it, the EV will always be instant pull back in your seat. Have done it many times.

Honestly if they are racing on the street the Z06 has no chance to catch it in a 1/4 mile from a dig. 1.5 60ft vs a 1.7s-18s on the street is game over.

If its on a prepped track I think the Z can hang. I mean we know it has run 10.1s in -DA.

the Eray is going to be more consistent in +DA
