grease monkey Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Magazines, have never been able to find a decent driver for the Manual Transmission cars. They are always reporting that the slushbox cars are faster... Any ass hole can get in a car, and mash the "go" pedal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Those 8 speeds today have a pretty good spread of gear ratios and can shift faster than a manual. The Hellcat auto is faster too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPFSTheFett Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Really disappointed. I expected 132-133 trap speeds. I'm sure it's only because of the aero package. ACR vipers are slower than standard vipers in a straight line and top speed, but dominate on a road course. http://www.hotrod.com/news/2015_corvette_z06_clocks_0_60_in_less_than_3_seconds/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 This car is pretty much keeping me from purchasing a 911 Turbo. I'm not sure how at this point I'll be able to justify the Porsche over this Z06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Just going to leave this here: 2015 Dodge Charger Hellcat does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and the quarter-mile in 10.7 https://autos.yahoo.com/news/charger-hellcat-hits-60-under-3-seconds-might-183052913.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Wish the charger was awd. I'll believe the 2.9 with the charger when I see it first hand. I'm assuming they used drag radials for that time, and had perfect conditions.

kirks5oh Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Disappointed with a 10 sec quarter stock?? On stock tires??? The argument is that the old zr1 bettered those times, and had higher trap speeds by 3-4 mph with some frequency. It's no big secret gm sets out to equal the outgoing top dog, with the incoming regular vette. That is: c7=c6z. And c7z06=c6zr1. I think we need to realize on one hand this car is likely 200lbs heavier. But also, these quoted times are very early, and likely not in the best conditions quite yet---better track, prep, etc. I think once some of these cars get broken in, and get on a great track like Mir, with good da, and good prep, we will see some routine 10.7 runs at 132+ Or I could be way off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which 10 second, sub 3 sec to 60, american car do I choose? Sounds like first world stuff if I've ever heard it. More to the point I think the Hellcat and the Z are going to both attract their share of fans. I personally think they're both pretty freakin cool.

zeitgeist57 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Me and my lame, 6.0L LS2 making "only" 405hp...:fa: #firstworldproblems. FiL just bought a 2015 Corvette Stingray with the 7-speed manual, awaiting delivery. Now I'm thinking he should've waited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 C6Z prices hit 30k, I'll be happy. Don't think so. At least not lower mileage ones. My '09 heads/cam car might go up for sale if this new vette is the shit. With 10 k miles on it, I don't see selling mine for much less than $45k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benner Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Is it just something dumb the is added or modified or what? Yeah dumb for the most part. Rear diff fluid on some of the early models was improperly filled and low on level. If its low you're supposed to test drive it and if there is any noise you replace the rear end. This one was good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
