How come no spanked Z06's ?

With all the 700 kits out there, how come no one has spanked a Z06 yet? I am sick of those Vettes with bragging rights

Strange enough I don't think the pcar owners care if they get beat by "the plastic pig."

I respectfully disagree, I care, but I do agree it is a bag of plastic with a huge engine. But you still have not answered my question, how come cars that dyno close to 700 horsepower are not be able to pull on one

they don't pull on them, they run from them



BTW, since when did the use of carbon fiber make it still a plastic car

do u honestly think that a 700hp PORSCHE can not pull on a z06 ?
come on man... honestly , who cares ?
this whole z06 praise is getting old

the z06 is a great car, but it is not a porsche turbo
it is not even close to a porsche turbo
the roads arent all straightaways

Its all just power to weight from a roll, simple, a 700 hp porsche would win, 600 horsepower would be close, probably a toss up. Look at the posted 60-130 times vette is 9.2, some modded porsches are in the 5 sec range, they would leave the vette for dead..

I got totally owned by one on my way to the Laguna Seca race last weekend.

About 160 then he just pulled it.

The car had flames painted on it so I'm sure that's what made it so fast.

Coming down the Hwy 1 the following day may have had a different outcome.

you dont have to like the zo6 but it will own just about any car on the road. just wait untill next year when they come out with the supercharged zo6 that is gonna kill eveything and im sure it will be mod friendly. but just like the rest of you i wouldnt buy one either they look cheap inside. but i will admit i like the out side alot.

what world do u live in ?
have u driven a z06 ?
go drive a z06, and then drive a gt2 ..... a 476hp gt2... which will leave the z06 for dead, both straight line, stopping power, and turns

and , yea yea, i know its twice the price, but who cares ?
there's a reason why the car is so expensive.... its called R&D ... do u honestly think a z06 will be as stable at 175mph as a GT2 would be ?

do you think in 5 years, it will drive like a 5 year old gt2 ?
what about that plastic interior ?

and fiberglass components...

imagine getting into an accident in a z06...


bottom line... a z06 will NOT own all cars
it will NOT own a gt2, and if it DOES own a 6 year old 911 turbo, who HONESTLY cares...

the last think i would worry about while im driving in my porsche is why a chevy just passed me up
