Better for what? What's the M6 corner speeds at places like VIR compared to C8? I'd bet the C8 is higher...at higher speeds.

When I said better, I meant faster. I have been talking about straight line speed, I'm not sure what you are talking about. You seem to be having a difficult time realizing that the C8 isn't faster than a M6 from 60 to 130. Your own data showed that. I have no problem saying the Vette handles and corners much better and is faster at lower speeds. I have no problem saying the ZR1 is a hoss and is faster than a M6 at driving speeds on the highway. And since I do have experience in the matter, I have no problem saying that my M6 is faster than a C8 at higher speeds.

Can we start a new thread without the inane M6 talk? Dead car can go dead car elsewhere.

The fact everyone keeps pinning challenges of big hp cars that’s a lot more expensive than the stingray is giving all the credit to the car lol.
And that’s just the entry level corvette people are targeting. Wait until the z06 and the zr1 come out. Everyone will really be shitting their pants. |

My Tesla model 3 with acceleration boost runs 3.7 on unprepped surfaces lol. It’s hard to beat an ev on the street from a dig.

That photo looks SICK. However, I recently saw one in the metal, the proportions seem a bit off and dare I say looked a bit 'kit-carish'. Yes, this car is still a great performer no doubt, I'm just not sold on its looks. JMHO.

Are you saying there are no metal parts?
I think "in the flesh" sounds weird that's why.

perhaps the young lad should take his little M6 and see how well he does in a 'roll race' against this C2 !!

Worth the extra price? | Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z51 track test | Video
Not a Z06 but Grassroots Motorsports test vid is worth a watch, but heavy on track data analysis etc.. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/vi...ck-test-video/ . .

I've had the pleasure of instructing two students in Z51 C8's and they are fantastic cars right out of the box. The first student was last year at Daytona and the second was this past weekend at Sebring.
The cars never seem to get unsettled even with entry level students doing something they shouldn't. The brakes work very well with little to no drama hauling the car down from speed repeatedly. Sebring is tough on brakes. The Z06 should be unreal and I can't wait to hear one in person.
