ZO6 ET/mph
 

Did you guys see the new ZO6 numbers?

11.5@127

Top speed of 198 mph.


Damn... :hail:

in-FREAKIN-credible :willy:

127 trap speed :eek:

With a few bolt-ons it could be a hand full. :eek:

I will find out, I have one on order. My friend, Jason, who owns Motorsport Technologies, says he can get me 100+ hp with his head/cam package. He has a set of the new heads and after his port/polish they flowed over 400cfm! After I run it, I will be sending it to him.

I did not know that there were bolt ons already for the LS-7. I pretty sure very little from the LS1,2,6 will cross over from what I have been reading. At any rate, those are some wicked numbers. A factory near 10 sec car with a few bolt-ons. Put some slicks on and it may be 10 sec. I think it may topple the Cobra as the baddest American factory hot rod built.

Since the C5-R has been around a while, shops like MTI should have a good handle on what head/cam combos work on that motor.

What an animal. :hail:

The car is going to suprise "exotics"... BIGTIME!

Chevy is making it hard to have the fastest car on the block for sure. My car all of the sudden seems underpowered.

2 years ago I am thinking that I am building a hairy-chested motor for the street that is going to make about 450 hp at the rear wheels. Now everyone has a TT motor making 1000hp and even factory cars(z06) are making my number. To run that fast in the quarter that motor is making more than the 505 claimed. I know they are running a different standard, but trapping a 127 mph...

unless it is hella light.

Damn that is fast!!!! What kind of suspension is it running? :willy:

Some slicks and saftey items and you have a race car from the factory :thumbsup:

z06
 

still running the same hold over IRS (beefy version) and the car weighs 3165 lbs

and ford is jumpin in with the 5.4DOHC blown 500hp mustang cobra thing for 07..... looks like the factory musclecar wars are back :thumbsup:

Car
 

Nothing against Ford, but their muscle car version in 07 will never handle as good as a the LS7 vette, since their is no NEW Camaros to pick on. Of course their is always the Ford GT!!

i agree.... the new mustang isnt anywhere near the Z06. just nice to see the auto manufactures putting some effort into "musclecars"

:willy: :willy: :_paranoid :yes: :thumbsup: The new vettes are my favorite!!

well crap...if it went 200 I was gonna buy two. One for me and One for the Wife.


Oh well.

Car
 

Jim, go for it. Best sports car money can buy!!

I agree. With so much unique content, the car shows tremendous initiative on the part of GM. I'm saving up for a 2008 Z06. so far I have......one, two, three.....11 dollars.

Guys, at SEMA 06 you can rent a Z06 in Vegas. Now that would be a kick.

Anyone know when the dealers will take delivery of the ZO6's?

I am definitely purchasing the Z06 about one year later than its release. I want all the hype to calm down. I sold my Lemans 04 Z06 just to have the nice big deposit ready. :unibrow:

The Ford Cobra is very nice too, the problem is nobody knows its retail price and forget about the markups at the dealer since its a Shelby Cobra. Its going to be an expensive car but relatively easy to change a pulley, exhaust,add CIA, and whoala-another 100HP. :thumbsup:

No. That would be a mistake. I have to be AT the show, not making banzai runs through the desert all day and night.

That's ok Steve, we'll be thinking about you.

I was on CorvetteForums last night and I read that one of the supporting dealers has pre-sold his ZO6 allotments for the next 2 to possibly 3 years!

If you build it, they will come. :D

:willy: :hail:

Rick :patriot:

Code 3300 today...dealer projected the build date 9/19-20 :willy:

And I'll be able to drive one at the GM dealership I work at :) Already driven the new C6 and that is one very fun car on its own. Couldn't imagine it with a 427 under the hood and all the extra power! I would definitely buy one if the wallet allowed... NOT FOR A WHILE!!!

I got my VIN # this morning. It's on a truck in Kentucky and should arrive at Paddock Chev, Kenmore, New York next Monday. Needless to say, my trailer will be there waiting...

SS

Steve, I can't wait for SEMA! :unibrow: :thumbsup:

I guess that means 19's will hook and I am assuming that was on factory delivered tires. So much for 19's being poser size anymore.

Mike

So now I am just a half poser? LOL
Actually, my 20" rear wheels and tires are the same that come on a viper. Surely Chrysler did not intend for it to be a poser, at least the ones I have driven weren't Posers.
