just because the z06 cost a fraction of the price of the other cars shows that its best bang for the buck

If I had the choice between a ford gt and a zo6 I would get a gt.. but the price difference is way too much so z06.

I used to love GT40s and followed the Ford GT before its release. The engine they used turned me off a bit... I'd rather have an LS7 Z06.

No, there are a lot of other, additional reasons that could make it the best car in the world, which it is in my mind. In an unbias mind, it can't rank too far from the top (and well above many of those cars listed) even when prices aren't considered. But, the lap time is what Top Gear pretty well uses as their bench mark from episodes I've seen on YouTube, and TG is famously bias against the big three USA car manufacturers, so it was a perfect example.

People who are awestruck with these foreign cars just because they have stupid-high price tags are the worst of the fanboys, in my opinion. Just having a high price tag doesn't make them any better, just like the Z06 costing a quarter of other supercars doesn't make it any better either. They are what they are, and the Vette trounces many.

ok we may be completely diffrent but all i know is that i would much rather pull up next to you in your Z06 in my Porche carrera GT or ferrari FXX or any and every car i listed. And watch all your *****, incluiding your wife and daughter fight to get inside my car. We all know the ***** rules the world, and ***** says the z06 is low when it comes to the list of exotics.

Holy ****, The dealer ship in my town said they MIGHT get one. That one got 150

Pluss just to add to that who and when did anyone say whats "faster than a z06" i herd whats "better" a Rolls Royce phantom is deffinantly SLOWER but better? YES!

I am in NO way trying to diss the Z06 i was just trying to be a smart *** with a list of cars any sain man would obveously rather have. The z06 is an amazing machine and if i was going strickly for speed on a budget there is no doubt this would be the car for me. But unfortuanantly my budget still hovers around 12k Max so i cant buy the z06 but hopefully one day i will own one. But even better one day i will own a ferarri FXX

Nordschleife lap times (in order):

Porsche Carrera GT - 7:32
Pagani Zonda F - 7:33
Koenigsegg CCR - 7:34
Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 - 7:40
Corvette Z06 - 7:43
Porsche 996 GT2 - 7:46
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano - 7:47
Porsche 911 GT3 - 8:03
Lamborghini Diablo GT - 8:04
Ferrari 550 Maranello - 8:07
Dodge Viper GTS - 8:10
Lotus Esprit Sport 350 - 8:13

And don't forget the prices on these rides... The specs aren't to insane either. You buy six brand new Z06s for the price of one Carrera GT (or buy four and mod them all to spank the CGT).

Lots of exotic cars are very overrated.
I cant believe that fat pig(Lamborghini Murcielago LP640) got around the ring faster than the vette

the z06 is an amazing car even without taking its price into consideration. the thing is, liek someone before me said Top Gear and a lot of others (a.k.a. almost every other country) is biased towards American cars. they just look down on them. for example Top Gear tested the C6 base version, and it did much better then they thought. After the track time they complained it was still a worse car because the rear of the car was made of fiberglass. complete bias.

Ferrari could make the shittiest car, performance, style, and comfort wise but it would still be better then the Z06 in their eyes. Its all about brand loyalty i guess. everyone has different tastes, i have respect for anything fast and that looks alright. I see no need for quadruple stitched african imported sun dried leather, or the latest navigation system that can read my mind when i want to change the temperature. but others do

They might not be the greatest and fastest of the pricey bunch..but man do I love them:




BTW..a Vette might perform great and I mean without a doubt is a badass car...But i mean if you had to choose..What makes panties more wet? Vette or Ferrari/Lambo/Porshe??? Plus..you see Vettes everyday (well z06's every other day)..

How many days do you see these??
