maybe the rolling start might be affected..but

I would think when the car starts moving, but it takes some time for the "pedal" to give full throttle, if at all until higher speeds.

I'm almost 50, old enough to know better/ but sometimes get that itch & don't care...yes these cars draw attention/ you may see 1 for every 12-15 Camaros or Mustangs.

The track measures when the car moves,,,lol- listen to the video I posted & you can here the gas pedal smack the plate a bit before the rpm gauge even moves....that will change in the upcoming weeks.(you can here it go "tink",delay & takes off...also; these cars are heavier than people think...mine weighs 3340 full of fuel & 3640 w/ me & my helmet.
@ just over 6'5" & 285lbs, perfect fit in the ~Z~ don't think I would have the legroom with a clutch pedal though.

I'm curious.... what age group do you guys call kids? I'm guessing that 90% of the members on this forum are Millenials, which is not a bad thing 😄, my son is one. I'm a little older. (Ah, to be 50 again....lol)

Today's midsize sedans are faster than 70s & 80s sports cars

Cars back in the 80's (I can't speak for the ones in the 70's because I was too young to drive then) weren't really fast compared to almost anything today. The Z28's, Mustangs, (Ok the 80's Mustangs were a joke) Trans AM even TA Turbo (all stock) were all pretty slow and heavy as the Titanic. Handling isn't even close either.

I don't think that any of those cars from back in the day (stock) couldn't outrun the Z of today.

I'd love to do this more than I do but being a young guy in this car makes me a target to the cops around here.

This is a really good thread on this car.

5-O will roll up behind me a lot and out of nowhere. Almost like they are either expecting or just daring me to do something stupid while in it.

ZGermans · 04-06-2016, 08:12 AM

I think 40-80 is more important than 0-60 when it comes to normal driving. It shows more about how the car pulls through the middle of the gears rather than what it can do as you bounce the rev limiter. That being said I drive more speritedly than most. It spends a lot of time north of 4K and more time than it probably should on the bottle.

I guess what I'm saying is different statistics are important to people for different reasons because we all use our cars in different ways.

Anyone who is more immature than I am. That eliminates >80% of everyone old enough to have a driver's license.
