New Z-06 scalding hot......
 
Car and Driver magazine did a comparison test between the new Z-06 and Viper GTS.

Vette won hands down. They posted a 3.4 second 0 to 60 time and the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds.

Not too shabby for a base priced 65K car....:drink:

Chevrolet has always had the right idea with this car.
It competes handily with automobiles 5 times the cost, repairs cost a fraction and the car looks awesome and they hold their value.

thats what i always liked about this car. since 1984 when GM got serious about it the vette has become a true world class sports car at a fraction of the cost. they just get better every year :cool: :cool:

And it looks great.... When I saw this latest body for the first time from the front I thought it was a Ferrari.

Yeah, those numbers are really impressive. World class performance, won't have to back down from anything.

I have to admit though, I still like the mid 60's Sting Rays the best. When you get in one of those and lite it off, it feels like it's alive.

Am picking this up over Thanksgiving holidays.

65' 327/365 HP. 58,000 miles and in just mint mint mint condition.
Surveyor said he'd never seen a better one and looked as though it had been kept in a baby's cradle all it's life. I'm totally psyched.....:D

The Z06 is definately a smokin hot car. I just hope that Chevy decides to produce the other Vette model I saw. I wanna say the name of the project was Blue Devil or something like that. Basically a 706 but with a Big Block displacement motor with all the high tech goodies. Thing looked bada$$ too.

Thanks. I got to drive a 54 with that straight six about three years ago. It was a blast. Handled like it was riding on bb's.
A great time....:drink:

The new Z0-6's are dynoing at way over the advertised 505 Hp mark...coming in around the 550+ HP mark...that's why they are smok'in Vipers. Think about it.
