Trap speed is usually a direct correlation with respect to HP / weight, so while the Corvette makes more HP it also carries more weight. Also the standard GT3 does not have the downforce of the ZO6, granted this is not an issue at launch but once speeds get into triple digits it becomes a factor.

All these videos so far are showing corvette is once again the bargain of the century.

This will repeat itself when they bring out the hybrid model and again with the other higher performance variants.

Gotta love corvettes!

Nothing new. Vette has been the performance bargain for a long time. If that's what one is after, buy a Vette. If you value the whole pkg, you have to spend more

People have whined like a bitch about GM raising the MSRP to 106k (if you're getting one at MSRP) yet idiots are paying 140k for a CSL.

This z06 is 100x the car the CSL is. And these videos are proving it. That was my point to that post.

Why are we crucifying GM's first supercar with nonsense like weight, looks to boy racer car like yada yada and there are WORSE cars out there. With uglier looks and inferior performance, for more money?

People don't have to like corvettes. But they sure are the BEST value of all time, always and forever. That is why i continue to buy them.

Why are you bringing the CSL into this? apples to oranges. All new cars are overpriced. The exotic market is just even more so.

stop with the super car, it's not.

It’s not that different in performance, believe it.

Even the 600hp version would have been taken to Gapplebee’s. My 640hp EVO barely pulls on a 602hp R8 plus as it is.

Edit: Also to add; you can’t get the 602hp V10 with the spyder anymore.

Sorry, I was thinking Huracan but I forgot since the EVO, even the base model Huracan Spyders are now LP610's, not LP580's.

Either way though, the R8 Spyder and Huracan LP610 Variants will still struggle against a C8Z.

I was thinking it was 580's or 640's only for the Huracan with the R8 slotting in between at 560/600.

I have a C8Z waiting to be built but I doubt I will ever race myself.

Awesome it was. The point that should be taken from that vid is how extremely difficult it is to launch a motorbike by balancing traction vs. wheelie.

And ut oh, Jason said... SUPERCAR.

Because we're on a BMW forum.

I don't think all new cars are overpriced. The Z06 is GM's first supercar starting at 106k, if you can get one at MSRP and you don't go crazy with the option boxes. Yet people here think it's too much, and even on the corvette forum they think that's too much.

Yet people are ok with spending 140k for an M4 CSL.

That was my point when i mentioned the CSL. And that's only example. And i mentioned it because we're on a BMW forum.

And the C8Z is a supercar.
