The yellow car wasn't stock - some mods; unnamed... |
unless these are prototypes there is no way they can be a Z06, the Z06 isn't even out yet for the C6, they're not supposed to drop for at least another month or so. If they are Z06 c6s, someone must have mad connections :D
|
So much for this thing keeping up with the Ford Gt then, why does chevy always over inflate their est. times?

hmm...I don't recall reading Chevy claiming Ford GT - level performance. But it's already within .5 seconds in the 1/4, and close in trap speed - at HALF? the cost... :) From Road and Track, May 2005: Our radar gun clocks the Ford GT's 0-60-mph time at 3.8 seconds, and the quarter-mile sprint at 12.2 sec. with the speedometer indicating 121.6 mph. |
Ford GT's are burning the 1/4 mile up in the mid 11's. Chevy never actually claimed the time to keep up with the Ford GT, but I thought I read estimated performance numbers in the mid 11's, I was hopeful it would keep up. Who knows, it was a while ago, during all the rumours about the car, it could have just been some made up press release.

they aren't out for purchase, but they are definitely on the roads in the hands of testers in production form. I have heard many stories of sighting in and around detroit. I am sure going to the drag strip is all part of the shakedown.

Where's my lottery ticket...
|
If you want a Ford GT eater, I have two words: Blue Devil. Supposedly, it doesn't exist, but I'm also told that it's in the making... :D
|
:confused: I googled blue devil and all I get is duke U shit, or some dudes porsche. What are you talking about? Incidentally, I just want a ford GT :(
|
Also, was it raining in that vid?
|
Nice! You gotta love that Vette!

Here's more conjecture as to the advent of the Blue Devil name for a higher-performance version of the C6 Vette. GM CEO Rick Wagoner did his undergraduate work and played basketball for Duke University, making him the ultimate Blue Devil. |
Ah, they acknowledge it's existence...
|
Isn't the Ford GT milled out of a solid block of unobtainium?
|
a stock C5 Z06 runs low 12's, except for that first yellow one they didn't seem that great to me, looked like he must of at least had high grip rear tires to run the low 11 time
|
apparently that yellow one is a modded c6, not a z06. It just has a z06 body kit for some reason.

Aren't any what? If you are trying to assert that there are no Z06's on the road you are way off. The video was taken at a recent Corvette event at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, KY. The track is only a few minutes away from the corvette factory and museum. They are MOST DEFINITELY Z06's, I'm sorry you can't accept that. :rolleyes: |
