From a standing start the rear engine, 4wd 911 Turbo will outlaunch the Z06, but from about 40mph on, the Vette is quicker, having a better power to weight ratio. In stock form, and good conditions, the Vette can pull 11.7's at 125mph. With cold air intake, header, mid-pipe, and re-tune 11.5's at 127mph. Stock with drag radials, someone posted a 11.2 run, also at 127mph. http://www.dragtimes.com/results.php...arch+DragTimes Some guy with Hoosier Slicks on a Z06 is running 1:26's at the big Willow Springs track, which is really fast. Video from Fifth Gear, Tiff is mostly power sliding in the z06: http://jeffareid.net/real/z065g.wmv Video from Top Gear, (Jeremy said the car was too loud and harsh for the street in his comments, but the video clip only shows the driving): http://jeffareid.net/real/z06tg.wmv |

Car-Corvette (can't remember specs) > A race around the block from a standing start. > No contest. I ****ed all over him. > Never did make the golf team That's changed now, the new Z06 corners very well. A co-worker runs with the speedventures groups, and had the 3rd fastest lap time of the day in the 1:30's with a modified Suburu WRX STI, the Corvette Z06 was stock except for the Hoosier slicks, and was running 1:26's. To match that kind of time, a Honda NSX needs to be heavily modified, with a supercharger, aerodynamic, suspension mods, and slicks. The Z06 makes about 515hp or so, 440rwhp to 450rwhp, and 460rwhp if re-tuned. It weighs about 3150lbs, making it lighter than the Subaru WRX STI. |

Trivia time: we all know Z06 is the special performance minded Corvette. Any one remember where did the designation "Z06" came from? (No research please... That'd be cheating! Guesses are okay.) |

> Any one remember where did the designation "Z06" came from? I can only guess it's the part number for some upgraded component, like Z51 for the standard Vette. Maybe the suspension on an older model? I've never understood GM's part numbering scheme, WS6 for a F-Body car (Trans-Am), Z06 for a Y-Body (Corvette). |

Jeff is the only one who'd even venture a guess? I think I'll wait another 24 hours before posting the answer.
