i'd say the z06 is more streetable. it's not nearly as low and you don't have to worry about scraping all of the carbon fiber panels covering the undercarriage.

Would anyone else kill for the STIG's job? I would love to be paid to drive uberexpensive cars around a track pushing the cars to their limits, day in-day out.
And Jeremy said that the porsche does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt the new Z06 do 0-60 in 3.6 seconds? Anyone else think that Chevy will be at the top of that board for once?

As big of a Z06 fan as I am, I will have to disagree with you on that one. I still think the Carrera GT is faster, but not by too much.
Yes, the BLUE DEVIL has been given the green light, so keep your eyes open for it, maybe even as early as next year.

I fn love the new Z06!! But The Carrera GT and Enzo are still on another level. I don't think that the blue devil is going to catch the Enzo or Carrera GT. On the Ring the difference from Carrera GT to Z06 is 7:32 to 7:43 if im right. The blue devil will be about 7:39 i'd guess. But did you see that Carrera GT?: HOLY S***
AS far as I know the Enzo is supposed to be faster than the Carrera GT only on tracks that are not too curvy. On tracks with less room, and more straighaways the Carrera GT is faster. But nobody ever tested them head to head...sadly

The "Blue Devil" will stomp the living **** out of all supercars. But it still won't be on the same level, there's something just different about those cars.
But, rest assured, it will be quite a bit faster, around a track, and in a straight line.

i would tell you if you r close that car and if you have the money ,you will buy it as soon as you hear that sound MAN, and as he said it is a very hard car to drive i know 2 guys who had lost control and hit the curb and one of them had to fix the carbon fiber rear end with the magnisiom wheels and he paid about 200,000$ or a lil bit more
and that includes shipping , cuz no dealer will be able to fix that car , theyhad to send it to germany dhl air.

I saw one up at Road America when I was there for Posche Club of America track rental. The Carrera GT was the pace car and man did that thing sound so sweet. He is right that they are hard to control because if I remember correctly someone died in the Carrera GT at Laguna Seca but I don't think it was the drivers fault. I think someone said that some guy in a Ferrari cut him off. Well here is some pics I took. The quality of the pics are not that great because dumb photobucket shrinks the pictures when you upload them. O well. better then nothing i guess.
