Yeah it is... But the automatic is better suited to go up against a GT-R for many reasons.

1. GT-R Nismo & Corvette automatic both accelerate in the high 2's.
2. Corvette claims there automatic is quicker to shift than the PDK. And Nissan's DCT in the GT-R has been deemed either equal or better than the PDK in terms of fast shifting.
3. It wouldn't be right if one tester had to row there own while the other had the advantage of paddleshifting.

The Z06 looks so much better than the base. I can get on board with the Vette now.

Thought about looking for an older C6 to replace the Z, if I can get it for less - but I think they'd be high mileage to get it for a bit less than the Z.

This article pretty much coincidentally validates what I previously posted concerning the auto.

So they're comparing it to the 599xx, P1, etc. based on 1/4mi times?

Who really cares about 1/4mi times anymore? Put it on the Nurburgring and see what it does, then you can begin to compare it with those other cars.

1/4mi times are for children.

I agree. But you know most Americans are obsessed with those numbers. Lets face the facts, 0-60mph times sales cars lol. Chevy has tested the Z06 at the Ring, not sure why they aren't giving any details yet.

Has McLaren even published the P1's time yet?

The 0-60 is impressive, no doubt. The Z06 looks much better than the Stingray, and performs much, much better for a hell of a price (still probably going to push close to 100k with options)...


I wonder if it's on their site to build yet? BRB...

I'm not sure. I remember seeing a video claiming it completed the Ring in under 7 minutes, but I haven't seen the actual time.

50 Years of Chevy. '65 Impala SS to '15 C7 Z51. A couple beers with friends discussing all that has changed in 50 years. Both great cars - I like this pic.
