The C6 Z06 is quicker in the 1/4 mile, traps higher, and has a higher top speed. In a race from a dig or roll, the C6Z will come out on top with a competent driver. On a roadcourse, the GTR is consistently quicker than the C6Z and slower than the C6ZR1.

whats the quartermile time of a c6 z06? and there wasnt any top speed catgory, nor a roll race. id say the c6zo6 is right around 12 flat. i seen bone stock down to the paper go a best of 11.93. and 0-60 is prolly better in the gtr bc the zr1 tied w it, so i doubt the z06 will be as fast or faster than the zr1.

there have been many races that show a C6Z and a Zr1 neck and neck with the Zr1 BARELY pulling up top...
there have been many races with C6Zs and GTRs... its not really that close at all..

the C6Z beats it from a dig and a roll hands down..

No doubt the ZR1 is better in every way. Both are awesome cars IMO. GTR is about $30k cheaper though. I never really understood why people always paired these cars up as competitors.

lol dude are you joking??? there are bone stock C5 Z06's running high 11's, a C6 Z06 will do low 11's with a good driver and high 10's with DR's

Comparing these two is apples to oranges.

If you go by price the GTR is the best bang for the buck. If you go by power numbers its the ZR1, if you go for best track car GTR & ZR1, if you go for highest potential and mod ability than Z06.

If price is no object, in stock trim...C6ZR1>GTR>Z06.

Used prices is a whole other ballgame IMO. I was referring to new car prices and new the Z06 is on par with the GTR if not slightly higher. I haven't seen any used GTR's for sale yet either so I dunno but if we were dealing with used vehicles I would probably opt for the Z06.
