C7 Z06 Vs GTR Nismo
Not good for the "most capable Corvette ever".
This car is just...REALLY loose...except for the brake zone. Fantastic in the brake zone. Loved the noises, I enjoy the manual shifter and I don't think it slows it down very much..but the handling is just cookoo. I'm surprised, shocked that it's slower..so much slower than the GTR in a straight line- it's not supposed to be.You're wrestling alligators

I'm not worried in the slightest. People are not going to buy their cars, and leave them stock anyway. The folks that do, quickly find themselves in the rear view.

Maybe the car he was given was pre-production...similar to what happened when he tested the Gen V Viper against the ZR1?

Heck, who knows? Anything's possible I suppose.

Or maybe the 600hp GTR is an amazing car.

He carried a lot more speed out of the corners with the GTR. This is probably one of the reasons the new ZR1 might be a mid engine car.

I'd like to see some more comparisons done at different tracks,etc. His comments are based on that specific car, and not repeat tests. Different day, different car, etc. GM even has recommended "track alignment" settings in the user manual. Who knows if they were set on that car prior to the test. Many different variables...

I've heard the down force be used as an excuse a few times now...in fact, I heard that it was the reason the hellcat pulled it when it came to high speeds on that highway pull you posted. They said that the Z06 has so much down force that it actually slows the car down in the higher mph ranges.

Yup, exactly what I have heard as well.

I'm was never really into Porsche...but this morning I was next to a silver 911 Turbo S on the way to work. That is a damn nice car. The guy turned down towards the medical center so I'm guessing he might be a doctor. I got on the website...189k base price. The one I built came to 204k
