Something to think about maybe:
Corvette ZR-1 Ring time: 7:26.4 with 638 bhp... The official curb weight of the 2009 ZR1 was released to be 3,352 lb (1,520 kg). Nissan GTR Ring Time: 7:26.70 with 530bhp (and two cyls less) Curb weight1,740 kg (3,800 lb) If a Jap can keep up with a ZR1, why wouldn't a Z28 be able to beat a Z06 (which is supposed to be a slower car than the ZR1)? |

I had heard that the 2012 zo6 will be getting a slightly detuned version of the zr1 motor because the zr1 will be dropped and the 7.0 is going away. Standard vette should be getting direct injected by then and be a solid 450 hp car. I love the idea of the z28 but we all know just throwing hp at a heavy car is not going to make it a competetor against what ii consider americas supercar. Look at the gt500. I love the car but it can hardly hang with a regular corvette out of the box because of it power to weight ratio.

And most indications are the Nissan GTR is underrated. Its really making 550 awhp (all wheel HP).

I need to correct my statement. The Nissan GTR made 495 awhp. That would equate to around 570 hp at the crank (at 15% loss). But that's wayyy higher than Nissan's hp claims. |

WHEW!!! THAT'S THE NUMBER I REMEMBER!!! Isn't there a new model with a little more power now, anyways? It's an "R" or something - yes? Regardless - that the GTR can pretty much keep pretty close to ZR1 is saying something. I think most of it's due to the AWD, but Z28 will be close in weight, so it's not impossible. It only takes $$$

Anyways, I do believe and hope the Z28 outperforms a Z06 on a roadcourse (600BHP, wide tires, CTS-V brakes, coilovers, and 3600-3700lbs would do it). I think it's impossible to do it for less than $55K though. Not sure why a Vette enthusiast would not like this idea. If a Camaro outperforms a C6Z, what do you think the C7Z is going to do? If GM kicks it's own ass, we all win! |
