Our cars get 1.2g on a FR set up. Now on a MR setup with our same suspensions do you realize the handling boost we're gonna get???

Nappa leather is VERY expensive
Carbon fiber is very expensive.
That front lift feature while not interrupting track capability will be a high cost feat.

The 458 italia with 578hp gets to 60 in 3.3 sec
The C8 corvette gets to 60 with 495hp at minimum 2.9 seconds...

That proves how much chevy solved for drag transmission tuning and off the line grip. I'm boggled you even made that statement right now!!
To each his own. I would only get a C8 Z06. The problem is cost. I just about beat a Z06 is going to be 120 to 130k. I built my TT Z for way less than that.

The fastest TT Z is low 11. We get that with bolt on mods. No comparison. A Z cant even be in the conversation right now. A Z belongs in a 86 wrx STi conversation. Maybe you can throw in a base cayman for shyts and giggles? But in a C8 conversation. lmao.... that would be delusion city.

I doubt the Z06 will start at $120,000. If the base vette is $60,000 then we're looking at about $85,000 to start for a Z06. Granted a decently opted Z06 will be $100,000. Loaded up probable $125k tops.

Anyway bruh. Heres some hot Z06 news.
It's coming with a twin turbo v8 with flat plane crank. That's gonna hurt!!! I can see at least a 2.5 to 60 in the Z06. Unfortunately sometimes we cant afford even the best deals on sports cars. But the Z06 sounds too good to be true. I wonder whose gonna make a corvette competitor? Ford? Nissan? Does anybody have the balls? Probably not?

Oh my bad.... I stopped following when they started saying the FI Kit can get tuned down to 11.1 was the fastest I heard and they seemed like they couldn't get more out of it for a hot minute. They started with 11.9. And struggled to get 11.1 So I stopped following.

I'm just curious. This 9 second Z? Is it a stroker kit added to the powerplant cuz what I heard the 3.7 is a 11 second car MAX? But shyt could've changed?

That rear diffuser a lil O.D. BUT with those specs... True enthusiasts won't buy this car for looks when you getting this much performance for the money.

Phunk was a big part of that IIRC. It's all about getting that extra power to the ground. Not difficult. Just takes time and effort to figure out the limiting factors. Then add money and parts

They were right around the low 10s several years ago I believe.

Color me impressed. Damn... I gave up my Z cuz I couldn't see myself putting $30k in mods for an 11 second car. But it's awesome that the Z was finally figured out!!! Makes me happy! And knowing it was done without a 4.2 stroke kit makes me ecstatic!!! Good shyt!!!

Joby and my best friend Brian have been wanting me to take mine to the drag strip. Maybe one day. I am just not a big drag racing kind of guy.

Do a search on here. It is Justin's Z. It was actually a stock block LOL. One of the major reason's for him getting into the 9's was tires and stock ride height suspension. The rest of the car was bone stock except for the CJ Motorsports TT parts and twin fuel pump setup.
