I'd give up on that. It's been pointed out probably a dozen times by now (at least twice by me), but it doesn't seem to register.

You're probably right. Math is hard.

come on. The edge should go to the c7z with its abundant torque. Maybe the guys on the video can do a 20 mph roll from 1st. The c7z will still get its ass handed to it.

The c7z is at a disadvantage with its puny supercharger in acceleration . I feel like vadge short changed us.

C7z auto is a beast on the 1st 60 feet at the quarter mile. That’s it.

Only cure For the c7z is a supercharger change. Then it’s not stock anymore or you have a zr1.

3,523# vs. 3,130# = 2% heavier

650 Hp vs. 505 Hp = 29% more horsepower.

More pesky math.

Added:

650 lb/ft vs 470 lb/ft = 28% more torque. Definitely needs a bigger supercharger. So anemic...

650 Hp vs. 505 Hp = 8% more horsepower.

More pesky math.

But you don't understand... the C6 is just... FASTER... somehow... :rofl:

Bottom line is no matter what numbers we put down, people are gonna be like "but I seent it on da youtubes!"

find a c6z and show us how to do it with your c7z

correction. C7z is 12% heavier.

I fixed a typo. It's 29% more horsepower.

As I mentioned in a previous post in this thread, not too many Zs in my area, but you have my word that the next time I come across one, I'll do a race and make a video if I have to hold the guy at gun point

If you go fully loaded, 3LZ/Z07, absolutely. 1LZ and 2LZ are going to be lighter.

Regardless, 12% doesn't get you to 28% more torque and 29% more horsepower.

Nope. And I tried to simplify it by putting raw power:weight ratio, but apparently that ain't good enough either.

will your shoot the c6z driver when he wins? Your bullets won’t reach him as you’ll be so far behind in your c7z.

bahaha. well played sir

Zidane 11-12-2018 01:59 PM

Why don't you just sell your C7Z and get a C6Z? I just don't understand the constant complaining, negative comments, etc.

saleen556 11-12-2018 03:45 PM

Who cares 🙄. Seriously if you are that unhappy with your C7 then sell it and get something that makes you happy. Not sure why one would keep harping on this. Many of us are perfectly content with our cars. When I move on to. 911 turbo S I won’t be coming here to bad mouth the Z. It’s a fantastic car for what it was built for and a Varga for the price.

Chonger 11-12-2018 04:02 PM

I agree with the above posts. If you hate your car that much just get rid of it and get a C6Z and be happy. I am sure everyone else here would be happy.

Also, this has been disputed and proven multiple times. Stock for stock the C6Z is not faster than a base stage 1 aero C7Z. The aero package makes a huge difference in a straight line.

Toddiesel 11-12-2018 04:07 PM

I'm confused. Who's unhappy with their C7?

As suspected!
 
Just another GIZMO thread who ran around with no liquid in the intercoolers.

I owned 2 of both cars. Chonger is correct!

Mr gizmo all he does is complain abut the C7 and how great the C6 is. His post really are pure garbage not sure why he bothers. Sell it and move on.
