Road and Track tested the 2006 Z06 in Europe and the highlight results are as follows:

0 - 60 mph 4.2
0 - 100 mph 9.0
1/4 mile 12.3 @ 116.6 mph
top speed (est.) 198 mph
Braking from 60 mph 113 ft
Braking from 80 mph 196 ft.
Skidpad 0.98g
Slalom 69.4 mph

 

So we kew?

 

Do you have any actual documentation on this?

 

So if this is true, its not up to par with the 996TT now is it !

BBGT2

 

These results are in the October 2005 issue of Road and Track.

 

If you would scan and post the test. I can't believe after all the hype the numbers are that low.

 

hmm, the numbers are not quite as impressive as i thought they would be...other mags testing them much faster. another ford gt? nonetheless, for sub-70k, it is an incredible performance deal, and its sheer performance makes up for its interior or lack of refinement

 

I don't have a scanner at home, mine is at the office but I won't be there until Tuesday. I just received the October issue of Road and Track and posted their summary results.

 

These are probably more representative of the Z06's true capabilities (unfortunately )


Motor Trend
0-60: 3.5
1/4 mile: 11.5@ 127.1
Lateral acceleration: 1.05 g

Car and Driver
0-30: 1.6
0-60: 3.6
0-100: 7.9
0-150: 17.5
1/4 mile: 11.7 @ 125 mph
Top Speed: 198 mph (mfg claim)
Lateral acceleration: 0.98g

 

Hmm....the plain-jane C6 tested in R&T (in the US) at:
0 - 60 = 4.5
1/4 mi = 12.8
Braking from 60 = 110ft
Braking from 80 = 194ft
Skidpad = .98g

By Europe, are we talking...France perhaps?

 

Im the first to say, i hate Corvettes, but id be more apt to believe the 11 sec 127mph time, then a 12.3@ 116. But heh, i hope so, just be another slow POS.

 

Understand that Road & Track consistently gets lower #'s than the other magazine. They got 13 flat from the last Z06 (other magazines were getting 12.4-12.6 sec.). Whan Car & Driver peeled off a 12.9 sec. 1/4 for the NSX, R&T got 13.4 sec.

 

hah.. you guys wish R&T's numbers were true.... yet you KNOW they aren't... lol

 

Wait till you see this car at a local drag strip. I predict it won't do better than 121 traps.

 

If it has 500 HP and gearing for 60+ in first it will have to be a sub-4 s car. Otherwise, something is way off.
