New Z06... 12.0 in the quarter Today i read the new Motor Trend ( i think thats what it was) and they showed that the new Z06 ran a 12.0 (in the quarter of course). I was kind of disappointed but then thought about it.....the new Z06 has GOT to be an 11 sec. car cuz thats what they all said. I dont think it would be too hard getting that thing into the 11's with a decent driver. Im sure better times will show up though. And yes i do know that magazines are mostly bullshit.
****Also featured in the mag was the new 440 horse 4.4(litre Quad cam) North-Star supercharged STS-V. It just blows the **** out of my mind at how far Caddilac has come over the past 2 years. Its amazing. The new STS-V in the mag ran a 13.0. Of course, that car prolly wasnt even broken in yet. And can u imagine what a chip, pully, and exhuast will do? The cobra guys wont be talking about "bigger displacement" anymore when they get run down by a 4285 pound caddilac. 4300lb caddy with a 440horse engine. Doesnt that put the STS-V at around 400 horses at the rear wheels?

Those mags always seem about .2 slower than average. Wow! 440hp caddy! I want one. Lets see KB make a conversion of a screw for that. Now that would be cool. A 700hp caddy blowing the doors off Vipers. WIIIIIIIIII!!!

I'd be willing to wager you're going to lose somewhere between 20-25% hp via drivetrain loss in this car. I bet it dynoes from 330rwhp-350rwhp.

As far as the Z06, in the habds of a good driver I am guessing 11.6-7.

Exactly. Some of you guys have to read the articles and not just look at the pictures. All of the articles popping up regarding the ZO6 are largely based on the GM press info and their own speculation - this goes for price info too. No mags have gotten their hands on a C6 ZO6 yet to test and you probably won't see any firsthand numbers until mid-year.

The new Z will run 10's. Mine ran 11.656@117 on ET Streets and 12.2@118 on radials stock, hell first weekend i got the car it ran 12.50's with no seat time. Plus this at the crap tracks we have up here in Canada. Ranger from CF forum and Z06 vette has gone 11.50's@121 with just an airfilter and DR's-it's all about how u drive it!
