Pulled the trigger on a C8 Z06

The nonAWD 200hp less powerful ZR1 runs 9.2 on mediocre prep btw.

It is shocking what the modded 4wd rice burners will do at the track, easy 9's.

Local with a Plaid does 9.1@150 at the dragway, most boring extreme car you have ever seen. And 203 in the 1.5mi, over and over... 0-200 in less than 20sec. And a relative bargain!

And if the Plaid is ignored, they I have to assume the entire discussion was not about "fast". Not saying the Plaid is best, great, or anything, just saying it is fast as a fact.

And relatively cheap.

You will need to add $20k carbon brakes for them to up the speed limiter to 200+.

A cheap used Plaid is unmatched for performance value.

But about as much fun as kissin yer sister on the lips

I’ll wait for @Speedy! and others to get out their 170’s and have at it. Nothing has changed, electric cars of any type are still electric cars.

Now let’s get back to his Z06 thread.

Damn that is embarrassing. I fixed it. Should have slept longer. But I have protestors and Fox News within about 20-30 miles.

The chances of even seeing one driving the streets?…..

I smoked a Lamborghini twice at
Legend Lane on the way home
with the Demon from the drag strip
Anything is possible

I'm ignoring the Plaid, just saying.

Lambos actually aren't that fast. I found this out years ago attending the TX Mile event.

 

[DGatzby]

Lambos can go from under $200k used and very beatable to very expensive and it will take one your quickest Demon’s and good traction to beat.

That’s my point, regardless if it is @Speedy! ‘s new Vette or his Demon, they are generally affordable AND very quick in the hands of experience. But if this is going take $350k+ for that ZR1x, then they will be very rare to have an opportunity to mess with one on the street.

Oh and anyone who can afford it is not going to get too ignorant on a street anyway.

@Speedy! bring one of your toys to one of those long events. I may look to drive my rig down to one in the center of the country. I bet Jon could apply a small supplement to a tune for one of those.😂

 

[Speedy!]

Not really my cup of tea to be honest. I've been to enough mile events to understand it is VERY hard on the vehicle and thats when things go right. If they go wrong it's catastrophic.

I'm not a Plaid fan, but I respect the performance.

And as far as supercar GT's that underperform... Ferrari Bob at speed trials last summer showed up with a McLaren. He couldn't get it out of the 160's!!! He was livid! Wished he never sold his Ferrari!!! I don't know details because he is very eccentric and difficult to understand... His old Ferrari did easy 208+ in the 1.5.
