    For all the Z06 hand wringers....

    I don't think they will depreciate as quickly as the C6 Z06. The built on average 6,000 C5 Z06's per year and GM stated the C6 Z06 production numbers "will be much less". Keep in mind they are hand building the LS7 engine rather than mass producing them. A 1995 ZR1 still commands $40-50K...

    Oh the potential!!

    Yep it had the POTENTIAL to be Bad AZZ like the GTS instead DC did "just Enough" by slapping a hard top on the SRT-10. Even though it will probably be slower than the Z06, atleast owners will have exclusitivity. :rolleyes:

    hate to post another z06 thread but....

    They pulled 1.18g in the C6 Z06 in another mag, I have yet to see ANY production Viper pull that to my knowledge. If I'm wrong I'll CERTAINLY admit it.

    Copperhead Quick Detail

    While I DO like the color you'd think that DC would have picked a color that isn't almost identical to the GM "Sunset Metallic Orhange" "hat has been on Trans-Am's since 1998 and now on the new C6's. Great color none the less. :2tu:

    IF I HAVE THE CHOICE OF NEW COUPE OR ANY GTS OUT THERE IT WOULD BE.......

    To each their own.... NOT saying the coupe is ugly, but the GTS just has that muscular look. I'd take the "look" and 50hp less Thank You.

    Z06 - Finally, some truly objective information!!!

    Depends on the mods, driver, and traction. I've seen on MANY occasions where the car w/ the most power lost the race.

    SOLD the Yellow GTS - Bought Yellow 2005 Vette Convertible

    Sorry to hear of the sale, but the C6 is still a great car. The LS motors responds well to mods It will NOT take much to run 11.XX in that car. :2tu:

    Light Flywheels : Worth doing? Why or Why Not? Whose to buy?

    Drag racing = stock flywheel Road racing = light flywheel At launch to heavier flywheel will help you get off the line with increased rotating mass. Well as roadracing it will rev up and decellerate faster, it depends on your poison. :2tu:

    Z06 - Finally, some truly objective information!!!

    NOT Making excuses by any means but it's well known C&D can't drive for spit. Poor times for BOTH cars.

    C&D test new Z06..11.7@125

    True and they also had C5 Z06's running 11.8-11.9, like the Viper's 11.7's it wasn't an everyday affair.

    Vette engineer on the Viper

    Considering the C6R uses the same frame I wouldn't be worried and I'm sure the driveline will be up to task. As far as numbers GM is said to build around 3,000 units per year so the ratio won't be 100:1. Guess we'll all just have to wait and see. :2tu:

    Vette engineer on the Viper

    I wonder if they will send their techs to school for the LS7 like they did for the LT5/ZR1's? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

    Vette engineer on the Viper

    No way is the Z06 going to replace an exotic like Ferrari/Lambo no more than a Viper will, NOT GONNA HAPPEN. While the Z06 and Viper can offer the same if not more performance neither car will EVER have the exclusitivity/staus of the Exotics.

    The whole Car & Driver article on C6 Z06

    Well two mags run times with in 2/10 of each other yet you believe the slower time. MT ran 11.5, C&D 11.7 and R&T ran 12.3, but of course you're going w/ 12.3. Wow that's not suprising. LOL

    Road & Track - Zo6 vs. Viper

    FWIW R&T ran a 12.3 in the SRT-10, so you know the times are off.
